Question

A warrior is visiting town when a storekeeper insults his honor, which means that the warrior must challenge the man to a duel. He walks up to the storekeeper and draws his blade. Suddenly, the storekeeper cringes in fear and then transforms into a giant rat-like creature that tries to escape through a window. The warrior is disgusted by the wretched monster and attacks.
Required:
How does the protagonist solve the conflict?

Answer 1

Answer:

The warrior resolved the conflict by going ahead to attack and possibly kill the giant rat because he has to defend his honor.

Warriors have a strong sense of honor and when that honor is insulted, they tend to do everything within their power to retain that honor, even at risk of death, so because the storekeeper that insulted him turned into a giant rat shouldn't stop him from getting his honor back.
