Effect of subsequent discovery regarding a participant's proficiency in archery.

Primary text
If a participant who entered the agreement is later found to be an archer, but one with minimal accuracy, and his group claims they mistook him for highly skilled or were unaware of his true level, or if the opposing group claims they mistook him for having low accuracy, these claims are not accepted. The participant is treated as if he were known to them. The condition for his entry into the contract is being competent in the craft (archery) and not necessarily possessing exceptional skill (mastery), analogous to purchasing a slave described as a scribe, where subsequent discovery of him being highly skilled or lacking in skill does not affect the initial transaction.
