Hanging from the pole, stealthily pulled out a small blade while the judges weren't looking and began cutting the ropes. Unfortunately, the competitor from Daggermark noticed and cried out in protest. Our team was disqualified and escorted out of the arena — all the more disappointing, the eagle-eyed man from Daggermark used the distraction to spit a sharpened coin out of his mouth and cut his own knots!
