What is the current record for the fastest completion time?

Subject.
And for which team?

Can someone explain under what conditions the old judge dies?

I completed all the quests given before choosing between light and darkness, including the initiation quests, except for the Arcomage one, as I haven't been able to get to 2 taverns yet. I've already been to Eofol, but I haven't freed Roland yet. So far, all I've been doing in the game is going to the arena and hunting for bounties.
It's November of the first year in the game; thanks to the genie lamps, almost all the characters' skills are at the grandmaster level, but I can't train them further because I haven't reached the required rank.

Have you already made a choice between Erathia and AvLee?

If you mean the drum of victory in the form of a signaling horn, then yes.

By the way, he still died a couple of weeks later, after spending time at the school.

So, you're playing the game too quickly. :D This happens when you get the hang of it and also know your strengths and the likely danger of a location. And the game's plot events are designed for beginners who spend days sleeping in taverns, slowly earning money, and even lying down in bones after wandering into the wrong area (for example, when I first played MM7, I stupidly wandered into the Catacombs with a party of levels 3-4. What fun it was: getting out of this network of crypts is not a task for such weaklings, plus I didn't understand the system of number and lever designations for a while :smile04: ).
