Yes. IIRC it was a Talmai Elder (15% bonus) w/ the Hammer of the Forge Lord forging a 5-gem item under Forge of the Ancients. Cost: 0 gems (65% off of 2 gems is 0.7 gems, rounded down to 0). Obviously, tying up both the Hammer of the Forge Lord to save one measly gem over a dwarven hammer is... suboptimal, but I was curious.

...if you fail to send your Champion to attend the death match, you get an event "Suddenly X's Champion's trident disappeared in a puff of smoke." The trident goes to the new winner. Your old Champion does not die and does not fight, he just loses his crown.

Hmmm... I recently was in a position where I had a champion forced to defend the crown. When the death match was announced his orders defaulted to "compete in death match" and IIRC I could not change them so not sure how you are able to avoid it.

I actually did not avoid it on purpose, but I was playing around with his equipment loadout and scripting, so that I wouldn't lose any good stuff if he lost. It's most likely that sending some items back to the Lab set him back to Defend, as usually happens with item transfers. It can't be purely a bug, though, or else there wouldn't be a built-in event for this case.

That "poof" thing is just the same that you get when somebody wishes your stuff away. It probably uses the same code.
