Sort of like that "Gauntlet/Gantlet" thing (a gauntlet is a glove, a
gantlet is a double row of oponenets who strike you as you pass between
them. You issue a challenge by throwing down a gauntlet, or pass a
challenge by running a gantlet)

What is the derivation of "Bated" by the way? From whence does it come?

Actually from and whence mean roughly the same thing...so that should be
"Whence does it come?"
