Obi-Wan knew he was running out of time and options. But he had to do what he could, and if that wasn't enough, he and Sanzo would need to reach a quick decision over what to do next.
He quickly strode closer to Martin Landel's seat, his expression neutral. "Why a death?" he suddenly inquired. "Surely we can have a fair competition without one of us killing the other. We could offer something else of value that the person who loses must give up -- something else to keep the game interesting."
He wasn't sure if their captor would agree -- he and Qui-Gon had just finished saying it was likely impossible to negotiate with him -- but he wasn't going to try to take another life so easily.
