I've been told to keep my vulgar fishmonger mouth under control for the duration of this column, lest I be censored by the gladiatorial commission. The person who told me that has been severely beaten. My stats: 3-7(1)-14-17-17-10-17. I impressed my manager with my prowess in the Rookie tournament and he thought I might prefer the Fist. It turns out he was right, although I don't mind giving the occasional gutting, either. Breathe easy, Niatoli Island. There will be no more dead gladiators on my account, unless you count me or the monster I'm going to try to slay in the Dark Arena. Fishwife SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NIATOLI ISLAND, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! SUMMERTEETH had cause to celebrate, after DA2 got 30 points by beating THE IMPOSER. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 19 points to PIEHOLDEN SWEET. (Discrete enough, GRU-SON OF GROTT?) Duelmaster FISHWIFE from SEA DOGS is going for the gold, as she Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's STONE GOLEM. Ooh, the excitement! The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, FISHWIFE, leaving SEA DOGS in mourning. The audience got their money's worth, as they witnessed BURIED TREASURE attain the throne at the cost of FISHWIFE's life! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in BIG LAKE BANDITS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of OBSIDIAN HALL, so did that sorry team shy from BIG LAKE BANDITS Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, BYL BONESNAPPER is the most challenged warrior. Call 'im brash! Call 'im brassy! Call 'im brave! Call 'im sassy! FROGGY FOO FOO will face BURIED TREASURE, up by 39. Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat. BURIED TREASURE had a quite go of it, putting FROGGY FOO FOO in his place. SPRYTE challenged SHE'S A JAR! Who says OBSIDIAN HALL are just a bunch of wimps! SPRYTE of OBSIDIAN HALL kept his wits as he was beat by SHE'S A JAR. Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Hey CASTING COUCH! Is there some deep dark, unmentionable secret as to why BIMBO has been sent to the Dark Arena? 3-1-1 isn't so shabby! Alas, poor THE IMPOSER. We all know BIG LAKE BANDITS' retirement plan isn't the best in the world. DA2, may you be as missed when your time comes. THE IMPOSER of BIG LAKE BANDITS met the ultimate defeat at the hands of DA2 of SUMMERTEETH. We wait with tainted breath for bloodfeud. Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in NIATOLI ISLAND would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in NIATOLI ISLAND is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BURIED TREASURE 7722 15 3 0 142 SEA DOGS (630) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -FLOUR CHILD 7829 15 4 0 126 BAD BREAD (95) KARINIRINA 7810 20 23 2 100 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) PIEHOLDEN SWEET 7856 13 7 0 99 SUMMERTEETH (640) -WHITE SQUALL 7862 10 2 0 99 SEA DOGS (630) PANDORA 6898 16 18 2 97 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) FROGGY FOO FOO 7851 11 1 1 94 BATTLE FROGS SO1 (644) SHE'S A JAR 7804 13 11 0 93 SUMMERTEETH (640) TAVELSHAN KETHAL 7795 19 34 0 91 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) LORTAN FALCONEYE 7465 14 11 1 91 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DA2 7857 17 12 1 90 SUMMERTEETH (640) GRU-SON OF GROTT 7539 11 5 1 87 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) KURELLEU ZIEN 7800 18 29 0 83 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) -SHEET WITH EYES 7740 11 3 0 83 HALLOWIENERS (635) DIGITALIS 6862 20 19 1 80 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) -SLAYBAGEL 7105 9 2 0 72 BAD BREAD (95) FRANK N STEIN 7887 8 1 0 72 HALLOWIENERS (635) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BLACKMOMBA 7913 7 4 0 66 XXX BANDITS (614) SPRYTE 7101 10 15 1 64 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) TORG THUNDERCLAP 7554 9 6 1 60 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BYL BONESNAPPER 7557 7 7 0 51 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) -SPORKIE 6522 3 5 0 39 CASTING COUCH (562) OLENTANGY 6452 2 4 0 38 ORIGRINS (549) -MAGNOLIA THUNDERPUSS 6446 0 1 0 37 ORIGRINS (549) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BEDAZZLER 7440 6 9 0 33 XXX BANDITS (614) BS 3630 2 1 0 29 DEMONSPAWN (194) WILL THIS GO? 6444 1 0 0 25 ORIGRINS (549) -HIGH TIDE 7927 2 0 0 24 SEA DOGS (630) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WAR PIG 7914 6 5 0 23 XXX BANDITS (614) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -2LIVE CROUTON 7893 4 1 0 23 BAD BREAD (95) DEN'S FAVORITE 3581 3 3 0 22 DEMONSPAWN (194) -SARINA 6521 3 5 0 20 CASTING COUCH (562) DEMON 8037 1 0 0 19 DEMONSPAWN (194) OLENTANGYER 6445 1 0 0 19 ORIGRINS (549) -WHAT THE FOCACCIA 7867 1 0 0 15 BAD BREAD (95) -HOWLING WOLF 6575 1 6 0 9 CASTING COUCH (562) FRED 8038 1 0 0 7 DEMONSPAWN (194) MYTEE 8041 0 1 0 1 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) GARBAGE SCOW 8040 0 1 0 1 SEA DOGS (630) NO, NO 8039 0 1 0 1 DEMONSPAWN (194) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
