If you don't want to fight in earnest, you could agree to a little light sparring to encourage other victims... ah, clients.

Success

A good showing

After seeing you put up a decent fight, a passerby is inspired to try his luck with the tomb-colonist. It doesn't go well for him, but you get a share of the payment. You may have learned some new moves, too.


Failure

No luck today

Even when sparring gently, it becomes obvious that the tomb-colonist is more than a match for you. Other potential duellists suck their teeth and walk past.
