Sir Robert and Claidheamh let out these lines:



** Claidheamh explicitly tells Sir Robert in his StronglyWordedLetter to come '''''alone'''''.



* '''Implied''': When recounting his tales, Sir Robert often mentions having a BadassCrew with him at all times. A character asks about the fight with Claidheamh, and Sir Robert responds with, "Not that one.", implying that he fought Claidheamh alone.
* '''Deconstructed''': Facing off against Claidheamh alone is enough to severely cripple Sir Robert and have him perpetually confined to a wheelchair.
* '''Reconstructed''': With this in mind, he secretly asks Marcy to give him several (if temporary) boosts in durability so that the playing field is evened out.
* '''Played for Laughs''': Claidheamh mocks Sir Robert for handicapping himself, even though the former doesn't even have any reinforcements. As it turns out, Claidheamh is a OneManArmy and having Sir Robert along with his BadassCrew fight him all at once is actually even ''more'' fair than resorting to this trope.
* '''Played for Drama''': Sir Robert was always known to be a bit of a chump without his crew to back him up. Now that Claidheamh has him without any form of retreating or reinforcements, Sir Robert's forced to take on the ViolentGlaswegian.
* '''Played for Horror''': Sir Robert's forced to fight alone... Because Claidheamh had [[EverybodysDeadDave absolutely rendered each and every last party member of Sir Robert's]] [[NotEnoughToBury into nothing but tiny ribbons]].

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A one-on-one BossBattle where the protagonist fights without their typical allies' help.
* '''Straight''': In the Chapter 5 {{Climax|Boss}} of ''JustForFun/TalesOfTroperia I'', [[TheHero Sir Robert]] has to fight against [[TheRival Claidheamh]] [[LeftHandedMirror The Left Handed]] [[TheBrute Brute]] ''alone''. None of his other party members may interfere with him.
* '''Exaggerated''': Sir Robert has thousands upon thousands of unique party members, but not only does Sir Robert have [[BlackMagicianGirl Marcy]] seal the rest away so it's just him and Claidheamh, but he also [[FisticuffsBoss has him and Claidheamh drop their weapons and slug it out the old fashioned way]].
* '''Downplayed''': Sir Robert can ''try'' to have party members help him, but they're going to be fended off by {{mooks}} who'd ensure that the fight between Claidheamh and Sir Robert is completely uninterrupted.
* '''Justified''': ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself.
* '''Inverted''': It's TheWarSequence, but for some reason, [[BattleHaltingDuel everyone stops to see Sir Robert and Claidheamh duking it out savagely]].
* '''Subverted''': At first, it seems that it's going to be a one-on-one, but the two armies start jumping each other...
* '''Double Subverted''': ...And they beat each other to either death or exhaustion, leaving only Claidheamh and Sir Robert behind.
* '''Parodied''': Sir Robert, a puny weakling, intends to fight Claidheamh, a gigantic mass of muscle, ''alone'', even though it would be infinitely more rational to have all his party members engage.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Some people may try and interfere with the fight, but others won't.
* '''Averted''':
** All fights are one-on-one.
** Sir Robert's teammates collectively engage in combat with Claidheamh.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfCool, RuleOfFun, RuleOfDrama...
* '''Lampshaded''': Quirby remarks, "Well, it's just him and that big guy there! Nobody else should interfere; Seems like these two have bad blood!"
* '''Invoked''': Sir Robert and Claidheamh let out these lines:
--> '''Sir Robert''': I wish that you would all stay behind; This is something I must do ''personally.''
--> '''Claidheamh''': ''[Grabs a hapless mook, and runs them through with his [[{{BFS}} Claymore]]]'' '''This''' is what happens when ya try tae interfere. Don't wannae end up like this poor sod, eh?
* '''Exploited''': Sir Robert loses the duel, but that victory is nevertheless {{pyrrhic|victory}} for Claidheamh as the others go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge to finish the weakened Claidheamh off.
* '''Defied''': Marcy and the others decide to aid Sir Robert in combat. And as does [[TheDragon General Drake]] and the others for Claidheamh.
* '''Discussed''': Characters discuss about the upcoming duel with Sir Robert and Claidheamh.
* '''Conversed''': "A duel boss, huh? At least it's a nice break from all that crazy party management..."
----
Don't have your party members interrupt this; It's a DuelBoss, and only ''you'' are allowed to fight the boss.
