So I am at the point where Richard just "lost" his final Ja'la match and everyone is rioting.

I want to know if it is just because Nikki was on the line here? It isnt like J'Gang really cares about winning or losing, he would just kill his team and move on with life.

Also, it doesn't really make sense that Richard missed both shots, even stripped of magic he is cracked and he could have easily hit that big man somewhere vital.

Lastly, I think.... why the hell didn't Kahlen just murk J'Gang in this scene? She was looking for any opportunity possible. She is invisible to almost everyone, including all his elite guards. She could have just snuck through to his rear and shanked him in the spine.

Addie just rescued them from the Sister of the Dark so no spoilers if possible, but feel free to discuss.
