The result of the match was a foregone conclusion, with the proud Prince of Dorne practically pinned to the ground and battered by Ghost. Aside from a few points Oberyn managed to score during the broadsword round, he was utterly humiliated in foil and epee.
Yet Ghost knew well enough that Oberyn had mostly been going easy on her. In a fight to the death, she probably wouldn't have lasted even a few seconds.
Besides, Oberyn was notorious as a master of poison... Thinking of the TV show made her furious. Why on earth had she tried to go toe-to-toe with the Mountain in a straight fight, instead of just waiting for his poison to finish him off?
