REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Things are getting worse here. If you managers don't want to see this arena
closed, start using it! What's the point in the Commission funding an empty arena?
We had nine fights, same as the two preceding turns, but THIS time, we had FOUR
standbys fighting, as well. This indicates a serious decline in our active
populations. Nine fights, four standbys, no deaths. One fight was "exciting" (ha!)
but none were action-packed. There were three challenges that went through, none of
them tv. No one was most challenged. Bloody Randomness got the most avoids, from
Menagerie. In fact, a quick run through the files indicates that only that one
manager was paying any attention to his gladiators here at all. A salute to Ichabod
Frothingslosh for attention to detail.
The fights:
HUW AP HUW (35-3030) (20-60-0,44) of CHILDREN OF LLYR fought HERMY (101-4) (0-0-
0,50) of Helpful Locals. HUW AP HUW lost to HERMY in a 3 minute gruesome duel. Only
Huw. Or maybe some of his teammates.
OWAIN HARLSON (35-3130) (27-46-1,75) of CHILDREN OF LLYR fought HERMY (101-4)
(0-0-0,50) of Helpful Locals. OWAIN HARLSON overpowered HERMY in a 1 minute uneven
melee. Although not this teammate.
BLOODY BRAINLESS (96-2206) (21-22-4,116) of BLOODY RANDOMNESS fought CADAL (35-
1370) (48-95-4,146) of CHILDREN OF LLYR. BLOODY BRAINLESS overpowered CADAL in a 1
minute mismatched brawl. So much for making a good impression on your author, Cadal.
BLOOD PIE (96-1918) (28-26-5,185) of WHY SELL THIS? fought BATTLING BOB (101-26)
(0-0-0,200) of Helpful Locals. BLOOD PIE vanquished BATTLING BOB in a 2 minute
mismatched fight. Not Mud Pie today.
HEAD CHEESE (96-1920) (36-18-3,202) of WHY SELL THIS? fought TAVIS CADFALSON
(35-1419) (38-95-3,200) of CHILDREN OF LLYR. HEAD CHEESE outlasted TAVIS CADFALSON
in a crowd pleasing 7 minute competition. Seven minutes? Somebody here has been
doing wind sprints. I suppose congratulations are in order to the enduring party,
but I can't find it in me to feel admiration. The day was too damned cold and wet
for any person to like sitting around, and especially not me. I could get moldy!
The challenges:
GWYN AP NUDD (41-1210) (24-6-0,100) of CAER SIDHE challenged JAMES MADISON (99-
1268) (20-13-3,95) of DEAD PRESIDENTS, YO. Down 5. GWYN AP NUDD overpowered JAMES
MADISON in a 2 minute mismatched Challenge duel. Some people don't know how to
handle their own death. It's an art.
SILHOUETTE (26-2006) (27-9-0,152) of MENAGERIE challenged GAR & BRILL (38-4252)
(67-98-0,146) of JUST BECAUSE. Down 6. SILHOUETTE subdued GAR & BRILL in an
exciting 4 minute Challenge melee. Excellent. We like to see the Gar scoured, not
mention scourged.
SOUL SCOURGE (25-1223) (26-9-2,159) of THE ILLUMINATI challenged MATH OP OWAIN
(35-1418) (46-87-1,189) of CHILDREN OF LLYR. Up 30. SOUL SCOURGE devastated MATH OP
OWAIN in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. If Math makes a comment, Soul
Scourge, I will organize the standbys to sit on him, okay?
Due to absence and inattention, Tenacious lost the title. So now we have:
SCRAPPLE (97-1961) (32-22-3,216) of WHY SELL THIS? fought HUNGRY HAROLD (101-29)
(0-0-0,200) of Helpful Locals. SCRAPPLE bested HUNGRY HAROLD in a popular 4 minute
Title fight. Not that Harold could have kept the title even if he'd won it. But
still, goodish going, Scrapple. Maple syrup for you.

Name-Change-O-Rama
The summer tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
