Rayla realizes that he is an exile from Katolis who fled deeper into Xadia after the battle at the Storm Spire. Rayla's third and final opponent is a human who wears a weather-beaten silver-gray armor with a red collar. Rayla's winning streak has earned her the moniker "New Moon" from the crowd. Her second opponent is a Tidebound Elf whom she defeated by taking advantage of her pride. Her first opponent is a Banther-sized Earthblood Elf whom she defeated by using his size against him. Rayla remembers the sparring matches she had with the other Moonshadow Elves in the Silvergrove, particularly with Ram, Skor, Callisto, and Andromeda, and how they were more secluded and honorable than Scumport. Rayla knows that her turn is next and that she needs to win three rounds to win Redfeather a prize so that the latter can give her the information she needs about Viren. A few onlookers then haul the beaten Darys from the pit and cover the blood on the floor with dirt before the conch-horn signals the next fight. Rayla then remembers what Runaan taught her about defenseless enemies keeping hidden daggers. Rayla calls Finnegrin a coward for not fighting his own battles with Redfeather stating that he does not have to with the kind of power he has over nearly everyone in Scumport.
Despite Darys's best efforts, Deadwood quickly finishes the fight with a few strikes. Rayla learns that Deadwood is not an elf due to his hulking figure and his body seemingly grown entirely of gnarled wood.
Finnegrin decides to have his champion, Deadwood, fight Darys on his behalf.
