I've went on searching for adventurers to go into Orc lands to challenge Grimarch. They would be an escort in case of orcs' foul play, and witnesses to the duel.
Then guard approached us while we sat in Peltarch's commons and said that orcs by west gate of Peltarch shout my name.
'Kenna! Kenna!' ...
He did, and we agreed to rules of engagement - potions allowed, and that the fight is only between Grimarch and me. Rest would leave in peace. Earlier we agreed that this duel is to death, as well.
Following the rules of engagement was matter of honor since then.
I drank the potions and attacked.
Duel was quick and gritty, I barely survived, he died first.
Not sure how, but Grimarch resisted my attempt at final blow... and walked away.
Mister Reemul, one of witnesses (and the one who gave me earlier my Katana sword - Jitsugetsu no Ken) said that by avoiding death orc broke rules in a dishonorable manner. And that this would mean that we do not need to be honourable against him anymore.
I have feelings that this is not the end from him.
