Finish Him

I was watching a sword fighting melee. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but the back of one of the fighters heads was cut open and his brain was exposed. He screamed for someone to "finish it" and someone chopped his head of at the neck. I look down and realise I'm wearing fighting equipment and carrying a sword. There is no way I am going in there... I speak to the quartermaster about forfeiting but it is not allowed. There are only minutes to go before I have to step into the ring so I duck under one of the raised viewing platforms and remove my armour then slip out the back and duck down an alley. I find a dress and change into it and hope I'm not missed...
