Well, HECK. My teammates (where are the other two?) get to fight real warriors and I get the Venomous Concubine? Uh, not that I have any personal animus against Seef Haraine, mind you. (Nasty wench in an alley!) But it wasn't an impressive match. I don't feel that I really DEFENDED the title, as she wouldn't have taken it regardless. Larsen E SPY REPORT Much has changed in NIANIA since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! TEAM HAVOK were a bunch of dogs after THE GOLDEN FISH got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! What's with KEY LIME? It actually beat TEAM HAVOK's HAND OF GOD, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Try as he might, 4 BRIDGES wasn't good enough at persuading LARSEN E to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. NIANIA is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? FATAL ANGEL 5457 3 1 0 TEAM HAVOK 645 SASHINDA 5434 453 PERSONAL ADS Sashinda -- You have brought an early end upon hour beloved Fatal Angel, (in the excitement of battle, she forgot to cover her noggin). But when you dealt your death blow upon her head you have brought me to the arena sands. You have brought a power beyond the fire within the sun! A power that one day you will need to face. -- Hand of God Sashinda -- The warriors of Team Havok tend not to follow along the common road. We are sworn to travel down the narrow less traveled and somewhat unconventional pathways. There will be triumphant victories and bloody losses, but let it be known Havok will be brought to all teams within Niania. -- Spiritual Pain Ghost of Fatal Angel -- I'm really sorry about that, I didn't set out MEANING to do it. It isn't like this arena has any warriors to spare, after all. -- Sashinda P.S. I think you were cursed by your name. Blame it on your manager. Vendetta -- NEVER parry with your face! What good does it do for us to go into the arena with the attitude and instructions: "Leave 'em alive if you can." (Alternative phrasing: "Go ahead, live, see if I care.") -- Koronedus Spiritual Pain -- Wow, talk about "cruel and unusual punishment," you know how to dish it out. I was in AGONIES over the state of my soul! -- Biff Mugg, Late of Mordant P.S. And I'm not a person that cares that much about souls, you know? I figure the gods take care of the souls, I've got my hands full taking care of the body. Hand of Hell -- I laugh. -- Jenj, Fratsfa Slave Larsen E -- That was barely adequate. -- Seef Haraine, Venomous Concubine and Guardian of Gladiatorial Morality Ghost of Candy Cane -- (smacking his lips) Very tasty. -- Wurm Kin LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HAND OF HELL was bested by SASHINDA in a 1 minute Bloodfeud fight. LARSEN E viciously subdued 4 BRIDGES in a exciting 2 minute gruesome Title duel. KORONEDUS savagely defeated IRON GYPSY in a 2 minute expert vs. amateur fight. SPIRITUAL PAIN defeated THE USEROUS MERCHANT in a 1 minute match. TORTONI bested HAROLUE in a popular 1 minute beginner's brawl. VENDETTA slimly won victory over GILLANDE in a 2 minute bloody amateur's match. KEY LIME defeated HAND OF GOD in a 1 minute melee.
