From: Duel Chi Lan, the Royal Fencing Instructor

That spirit you met on the boat looked a lot like Chi Lan. Are they related? You could repeat what the spirit said during a duel. That should put her off her stride.

Success

Words of great effect

[...] You blurt out what the spirit told you. Chi Lan is frozen by the words [...] You wound her [...]

Feducci awards you the bout and the purse [...] Days later you hear of a spate of murders in Spite. [...] Chi Lan didn't like what she heard.
