A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
I just wanted to clarify this. Only actions speak (OAS) must target impromptu duel (ID) before targets are even selected, correct?
If OAS is used on ID and the duel is accepted, will OAS negate the 2 honor gained from winning the duel?
I was curious if the duel that is caused by ID is done after the ID resolves (like the delayed effect of gaining honor by Last Step Castle).

Only Actions Speak must be played in reaction to the Announcement of Impromptu Duel, which is Step A of taking an action, before Step B of choosing performers/targets. So, the answer is more-or-less "yes", but Only Actions Speak's Reaction doesn't "target".

Yes, the 2 Honor gain would be negated. The entire sequence of the duel occurs during the resolution of Impromptu Duel, not afterward.
