While yur at it, lets decide the next emperor by Rock Paper Scissors XD.) (In Armagedon they drawn straws to decide who stays behind to manually detonate the nuclear weapon on an asteroid (they put the weapon in the center of the asteroid and then plan to blow it up so that the pieces will fly past earth) destined to destroy Earth.  The idea of drawing straws for something when lives are at stake isn't that far fetched.)

(Armagedon is one of my favorite movies.  It has lots of memorable quotes.

Daedra, I'm not sure if you are joking or not, but there were several capable volunteers. The only way to break the tie was to either have Emrey decide, or leave it to chance with the straws. Any of the warriors/mages chosen would be up to the task. So it is not so illogical as it might seem, or Peri would never have suggested it. Had Rhiannon been well and rested, I'd have thrown her name into the pot too.)
