Adolin was finding it difficult to find opponents, so he challenged [[Relis Ruthar]] and said that he was allowed to bring anyone else he wanted, expecting him to bring one other person. However, when the day of the duel arrived, Adolin realized Relis brought three others, rather than one: [[Elit]], [[Jakamav]], and [[Abrobadar]]. Although he was a skilled dueler, Adolin did not stand a chance against four opponents. Renarin joined the fight to try and help his brother, but he froze up as soon as he summoned his Blade, hearing its screams. Kaladin, who had been standing with Dalinar, proclaimed honor dead, and asked Dalinar to take care of his men if things go poorly, before jumping into the arena to help Adolin.{{book ref|sa2|56}}
Kaladin told Syl that this had better end differently than when he saved Amaram, and Syl promised that it would. Relis ignored Kaladin at first, but payed the price when he got stabbed in a crack in his armor. Kaladin regrouped with Adolin, guarding his back, and said that Adolin needed to break their foes' Shardplate for him, so it would be easier to hit them. Adolin asked Kaladin to distract one foe and to watch out for Renarin while he fought the other two. Kaladin agrees. Kaladin drew Relis' attention while Adolin fought Elit and Jakamav. Relis dueled Kaladin for a short time, but returns to fight Adolin, who was skillfully dueling his two foes. Kaladin used a lashing-enhanced kick to knock Relis down, breaking his own legs in process, though he was able to heal them using Stormlight. Kaladin notices that he cracked some of Relis' shards as well. Adolin's own armor was mostly cracked but he managed to land a strong blow on Elit's chestplate, cracking it slowing Elit greatly. Kaladin saw Abrobadar waving his blade at the ground and Sylphrena exclaimed about something mysterious and flew over toward Renarin, likely referring [[Glys]]. Kaladin used his broken spear to strike Elit in his exposed armor, and forced him to yield.{{book ref|sa2|57}}
The remaining three opponents gathered to battle Adolin, leaving Renarin alone to sit in the sand. Kaladin demanded Elit give him his helm, who complied, and used it as a armored gauntlet. He rushed over to Adolin with a knife in his other hand. Kaladin tricked Relis into backing away, then continues to help Adolin. Relis and Jakamav both tried to attack Kaladin, but he was able to dodge their Shardblades, or block them with the helm
Elhokar announced how impressed he was by the duel, and offered Adolin a boon. Kaladin noticed Sadeas trying to leave the arena, but before Sadeas could slip away, Adolin demanded the right to duel Sadeas, right then and there. Kaladin, who realized this was his chance to duel Amaram, also demanded the right to challenge him, for his crimes of murder and obstruction of justice, which caused Amaram to cower. Next to Kaladin, Adolin groaned, and the crowd silenced. Elhokar ordered Kaladin to be arrested.{{book ref|sa2|57}}
