Mosk-Sopoh's reaction to the challenge was also unorthodox, as he suggested a series of physical challenges to be organized between Raad and himself. One who proves to be the stronger warrior takes the throne. This was a dangerous path to follow, as it undermined the whole idea of Dolysohs as the ruling family, but on the other hand it did satisfy nobility who felt that this is a fair way to resolve the conflict. Goven Bylyk was able to convince Mosk-Sopoh to keep the contest a secret from the outside world until the time he defeats Raad.

The contest began in early 1870 [[FR]]. It was in several parts, each of which was attended by around 50 people, among them guards, ooron and representatives of the royal house. Both Mosk-Sopoh and Raad were experienced warriors in excellent physical shape and both kept clearing the challenges on par. The resolution came suddenly during a routine spear contest when Raad hit Mosk-Sopoh in the chest, killing him on the spot.

Raad and his party immediately left and began celebrations. However, Goven Bylyk was prepared for the possibility of Mosk-Sopoh's defeat and had already invited Beejetoh to secretly arrive at Gaskal. Mere hour after Mosk-Sopoh's death he made the claim on Beejetoh's behalf as her Mōrtoh elder.
