Djelian Warrior Champion!

This was a quest that I had long wanted to master, but it is really pesky about the details of preparation for it (all the more so if you're a wizard). Nevertheless, yesterday a series of unfortunate incidents to begin with (my Klein bottle broke while in the Shades) ended up with me traveling to Djelibeybi and finally mastering my goal:

A Djelian champion strides into the arena.

The Djelian champion asks in Djelian with a Djelian accent: So Winswand, you wish to challenge me to become a champion of the guild?
> 

say yes 

You say in Djelian: yes 

> 

There is a wild cheer from the balconies above! 

The Djelian champion grins. 

The Djelian champion exclaims in Djelian with a Djelian accent: So be it! 

The Djelian champion shouts in Djelian with a Djelian accent: Failure means death! 

The warcry doesn't faze you. 

The Djelian champion moves aggressively towards you! 

The Djelian champion slices his khopesh across your neck. 

The Djelian champion slices at you with his khopesh but you just dodge out of the way.

You have completed the quest Djelian Warrior Champion, in which you demonstrated great skill against a warrior while knee-deep in sand (120000 xp). 

A Creator Collector Card appears in your inventory with a flash. 

You won the duel! You can hear the sound of wild cheering from the balconies, which echo along the length of the Hall of Warriors! 

Someone on the balconies throws a pair of lion paws down. They land with a thud on the arena's sandy floor.

Weapons

The only weapon I use right now -besides magic- is a short, oriental sword called a storm serpent kodachi, which I had Wan Bending Reed make for me. When I visit the Shades, I swap it for a fairly conventional wakizashi. 

I also carry a fancy-looking dagger, but I only really use it for gathering body parts...

look kodachi

This single-edged short sword is barely more than two feet in length, with a subtle curve along the length of the blade.  Perfectly suited for infiltration and close quarters fighting, the kodachi flourishes where the katana would prove too unwieldly.  The blackened steel of the blade bears a pattern of wind and lightning and the hilt has been wrapped in snakeskin.  The maker's mark, a single reed gracefully curved by an unfelt wind, is engraved on the simple square tsuba behind the blade.

look saya

Slim and subtly curved to match the kodachi, the thin wood of this scabbard has been finished in silvery grey lacquer.  A dark grey silk shigeo cord wraps around the saya near its throat to attach it to the wearer's obi.  Elusive reflections flit through its depths, as though in the darkest of mirrors encountered in a waking dream.

look Blade of Morgul

This is a dagger, the blade of which is constructed entirely from black steel.  It is about a foot long, and very sharp.  The blade is wavered all the way along its length, lending it a worryingly deadly appearance.  The dagger has an ebony grip, and the hilt has a crossguard made from ivory.  It has been constructed to resemble a pair of leathery dragon wings sweeping out from the hilt.  The pommel of the dagger has been formed from onyx into the shape of a curled dragon tail.  The chappe of the blade is made of ruby with a motif of a fierce dragon etched upon it.
