Ettyn did not sign any words to the challenge notice when she found it in the Arena, simply made her mark in lieu of a full signature to stand as acknowledgment.

It was a very slow duel to start, a game of defenses and chess being played out that over six rounds had the incumbent Baroness up by three and looking on track to close out very quickly. After a quick score by Karma, Ettyn closed right to Match point. However, Karma was not about to let that stand and went four straight rounds to not only tie but hold the lead for a round. Ettyn, by the skin of her teeth, held on. Closing back to Sudden death with a hair over four points, to then turn about and close the match with a victory in the fourteenth round by one point!

Congrats to Ettyn for retaining, and well fought to the Challenger Karma Armstrong! Special mention the Old Market skybox for being... rowdy.
