Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out NIANIA to see what's new. MVP award for EFREETI? THE SUMMONING's proud of him after beating GALLORDIN and getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers! HAROLUE got smashed by CAPTURED ORC, and lost 7 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome PITER DEVRIES. Aren't MASTERS OF SAND proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? SWEETS was NIANIA's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are TEAM HAVOK? SWEETS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can OUT THE WINDOW's 4 BRIDGES be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out HAND OF HELL challenged KORONEDUS. After all, haven't TEAM HAVOK and THE GOLDEN FISH had a long standing duel in NIANIA? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but KORONEDUS wants me to write about it since he defeated HAND OF HELL. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All NIANIA ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its been really albendranius!

Hmmm (flip, flip, shuffle) Right, here we are. Cotton Candy? Yes, already fought her once, she's on the list, a nice round little Convincian (Not really, right? You just look kinda like one, all fresh-faced and dewy.). Okay, I consult the notes, which are damned skimpy, who wrote this stuff? Oh, it was me. (blushing) I didn't mean to be that rude, well, okay, I probably did, THEN, but now I don't feel that rude. Probably because I've just BEEN to the dentist and the Novocaine hasn't worn off yet. Er, Novocaine, that's the name of the hammer he hits his patients with so they won't notice the pain. So, um, where was I? Oh, right, working up the nerve to turn the fight over and find out who won. Well, darn, you did. But I was still feeling no pain, so it's okay. Go wreck somebody else's teeth, woman. -- Gallordin Yukio Okutsu -- I don't know what it is about your human languages, but they seem to lead me to the making of inappropriate puns. Such as wanting to say, "Yukio, I cuts you," or something equally tactless. After all, you can't help being human. -- Sarovond Ah, the Fratsfa Slave. I suppose I should feel pity, or compassion, or something like that, but I don't. Humans have used us badly enough over the centuries, worse than they use each other. As they sowed, let 'em reap. -- Koronedus Oh, HO! I beat the Dangerous Criminal. That isn't easy, he's truly dangerous, but I defeated him. Gotta love it. -- Dolovor the victorious I do believe the Userous Merchant had me confused with somebody else. I don't owe him a penny, nor any interest on that non-existant balance. So there. -- Harolue Divine Assassin -- Though your name might seem to YOU to make all right, we object to the heartless slaying of one of our members. If you must do it again, try to put a little heart into it. -- Telpino, Chief Beggar of Niania Harolue -- Ah, ahem, sorry. I mistook you for somebody else. An Abysmal who has apparently disappeared from this town owing me money, the cad! -- Sedmon Var, Merchant and Moneylender Dolovor -- At least it wasn't one-sided. You had to work for it, kid, and, I gotta say, you didn't do so badly. -- Red Barkol, Dangerous Freetrader P.S. Gods, I must be getting soft in my old age! Kornonedus -- (cringe, grovel) -- Jenj, Mostly-Fratsfan Slave 4 Bridges -- One bridge, even two, I could have handled. Four is too much for me, as I need at least one foot to stand on. -- Geroge Krag, Master of Unarmed Combat Ej Dome -- It was all skill, no luck about it. -- Gobiann Strongaxe, Dwarf of Khalhums LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS COTTON CANDY was butchered by WURM KIN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Dark Arena fight.

DOLOVOR handily defeated KUNG-FU MASTER in a action packed 1 minute uneven fight. HAROLUE lost to CAPTURED ORC in a 2 minute gruesome expert vs. novice upset duel. GALLORDIN was vanquished by EFREETI in a 1 minute one-sided fight. HAROLD MOON overpowered JELLY DONUT in a popular 2 minute brutal one-sided melee.
