Dialogue
 * "Duels have long been part of Kurzick life, though these days they are used primarily as a method of training for battle against the Luxons. Today, one of our Kurzick Houses has come forth to challenge you that you both might be better prepared when the time comes to face the Luxons in combat.  Do you accept the challenge they have set forth?"

Walkthrough
Travelling to the dueling grounds is a walk in the park, literally. Usually, all groups of monsters are far enough from the path, so that it is possible to slip past them without aggroing anything. Also, the dueling grounds are easy to find and not far away.

There will be a group of eight NPCs at the dueling grounds, which will still be friendly. Once he and a player arrive there, Duel Master Vaughn will give a little speech, after which the opposing duelists will turn hostile. There are at least four different fixed teams, similar to the Zaishen Challenge, which also are of different difficulty:


 * Team House Lutgardis
 * A team of five rangers, two monks and one ritualist. Easy to beat with henchmen.


 * Team House Vasburg
 * A melee-oriented team of three assassins, three warriors and two monks. Moderately difficult to beat with henchmen.


 * Team House Brauer
 * A team of seven elementalists and one ritualist. They have strong anti-melee skills and spiking capability. Hard to beat with henchmen.


 * Team House Durheim
 * A team of seven elementalists and one ritualist. They have strong anti-melee skills and spiking capability. Hard to beat with henchmen.

Note: This quest can be done repeatedly.
