Shikari's life has fallen to zero. You have won the Ikon battle!

"Ahah!" you exclaim triumphantly.

Shikari, the Predator snarls at Septim, "You know what this means."

You say, "Astral banishment?"

A wry smile spreads across Septim's face.

Shikari, the Predator snarls at you, "Indeed."

With the smallest flick of His finger, Shikari sends you flying headlong into the depths of the Astral Plane.
A rusting iron disc.A sickly sweet odour, the smell of decomposing corpses, wafts in from a war shrine of Fain nearby. A stainless steel goat stands here, chewing on a piece of metal.
You see a single exit leading west.

I'd make a comment about Shikari being a sore loser, but I'll keep quiet.

Sure, neglect to mention the battle I happened to win. I think this is called spinning the truth!

No one wants to see divine winning :P

Shikari won the first one though. Thanks for playing with me Shikari :)

I want to see Shikari's win!

What is the "Wielding an obsidian tusk" line?

It is very likely a prop ikon that has a chance to stop the character attacking.
