You were my favorite foe. You tended to hit a little harder than me--with the exception of when I hit an unspeak on you in Galadon prior to CF immediately crashing--but my slightly better defenses with swords made it a game of chance right up until you settled on your new legacy. Damn that hurt! Always willing to bring it, and you never felt the overwhelming desire to bring the entire island. I respect you immensely.

What the Chulun/Dnrandim matchup did was to test sword vs mace on comparably armored dwarves, which is something I had wanted to do.
Aside from the rare big flurry, the shorter self-lag on drum and the mace's utility trump dwarf flurry & riposte.
