I don't think that matters much. We are not thinking in game terms here, like player A wielding unit x against player B wielding unit y, that would lead to too many further variables (spellbook, items, class and so no). If the tournament was a real "arena" with the survivor going on, then logic would lead to both dying and being eliminated. A bit like the fight between Thor and Jormungand in the Ragnarok of Snorri, where the thunder god kills the world serpent but seconds later is killed by its poisonous breath. For the fun of the tournament however I would prefer to think of the chosha being resurrected. I still think however - will try to do further calculations - that the executioner wins, so no need yet to go resurrecting.

I also made some further inquiry into the vampire-royal thorn issue and indeed once germination is properly calculated there seems to be no room for doubt. If they just stood next to each other from the start the vampire would do a damage going from a minimum of 4 to a maximum - on critical - of 12, thus it would take him anywhere from 30 to 90 rounds to kill the RT. The RT does at least 30 damage, so it needs at most 40 thorns to finish the job (and 70 could do it on there own without the RT having to risk anything) and he can get them in at most 3 germinations, thus at round 7. All that without considering that the vampire does not start next to the RT, and can't risk going bat to close distance, because two hits by the RT would certainly kill him in batform. It seems indeed settled... Now will things be different for the Ancient Vampire?
