Two days later, Relis brought three others to the duel: Elit, [[Abrobadar]] and [[Jakamav]].{{book ref|sa2|56}} Relis viewed the duel as punishment for Adolin rather than a matter of honor, but things turned against him when first [[Renarin]] and then [[Kaladin]] joined the fight. He made the mistake of underestimating the threat Kaladin, armedwho onlywas armed with only a spear and wearing no armor, posedas toa himthreat. First, Kaladin succeededdrew in keeping himRelis away from Adolin and the others and weakened his Shardplate with a Stormlight-reinforced kick. Kaladin defeated Elit while Relis rejoined the fight against Adolin, but he soon distracted Relis and Jakamav again long enough for the princeAdolin to defeat ElitAbrodabar. Near the end of the duel, when Relis saw that Adolin had managed to time his Plate locking up with getting an incapacitating hold on Jakamav, he ran for Renarin. Kaladin caught up to him in time for Relis to swing at him instead, but he caught Relis's blade between his bare hands; the resulting screaming from the blade was enough to make Relis retreat from the arena andin forfeit.{{book ref|sa2|57}}
