To start off round 3, we have an unseeded creator of laws or rules, going against an unseeded alleged tax cheat. Gygax wrote a game that had trolls, and he kinda looked like a troll. Meanwhile, Shakira is a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters. These two people could definitely go medieval on each other.

The troll versus the troubadour: who will get out of the dungeon alive?

Past matchup

In the match of Lauryn Hill vs. Li Wenwen, Jonathan brings in the leverage:

I’m going with Li Wenwen, unless you bring Archimedes and a lever into the contest as a surprise replacement. She’s clearly the strongest speaker in the tournament.

Fishbone argues for the rapper:

I might be the only person on the planet who hasn’t heard the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Probably my loss, seeing her impressive resume. I think it would be interesting to hear from the strongest woman on earth, though, but would be concerned about the strongest woman on earth rending limbs assunder from any disagreements from the audience. I have to go with Miss Hill, if only because she could kill us softly with her song.

OK, conditionally on the seminar being fatal, I’d rather be killed softly with a song than torn limb from limb. But Li has a pretty good track record of not destroying others’ limbs—except possibly in an indirect way by reaching such previously unachieved levels of strength that she might be motivating her hapless competitors to overtrain and attempt lifts that are beyond their abilities. I won’t be attempting any lifts during the seminar, so I think I’ll be safe, so I’ll go with Wenwen to face Isaac in round 3.

Again, here are the announcement and the rules.
