REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Fight day again, and a lot of people don't seem to have noticed. Thank the gods
for gladiators allowed to continue fighting without managerial attention! We'd be in
a pickle without them.
Ratler got twenty-one points for defeating Surly Deckhand, who was certainly in
need of defeat. Do we tolerate such churlishness?
Tavis Cadfalson lost nineteen points after being defeated by Diving Hawk. And
well he should have done. Tavis shows up, fights, but I can't hear that he does much
in the way of practicing, much less honing his years, as Zontani advises.
There were no teams avoided. Bah.
Fly Fisher got the most (the ONLY) challenge, which was a TV challenge, issued
by Dominion.
We had nineteen fights, which sounds good if you say it fast. But seven of them
involved standbys. That kind of thing always, well, occasionally, puzzles me. You'd
expect a handicapper on top of his job to be able to match everybody but the odd man
out, wouldn't you? In this case, however, I believe we may acquit him of sloth, as
ALL seven of the standbys fought gladiators from the same guildhouse, who could not,
but the stuffy rules now current, have fought each other. In a way, that seems a
shame--it isn't like anybody's going to DIE here. But I suppose it would be too easy
to throw fights if both opponents were under one management. Too bad.
The fights:
We begin with SALTY (21-6607) (30-33-1,64) of SEA DOGS, who fought MEAN SPIRIT
(101-5) (0-0-0,70) of Local Louts 101. SALTY overpowered MEAN SPIRIT in a popular 1
minute bloody one-sided bout. There was general rejoicing over this, as Mean Spirit
is well-named and has few--if any--friends here.
PRISONER BG23 (97-3369) (7-16-5,22) of DUNGEON CELL W10A fought LAKE SAILOR
(101-2) (0-0-0,30) of Local Louts 101. PRISONER BG23 was overpowered by LAKE SAILOR
in a 1 minute one-sided bout. Not terribly surprising. The Lake Sailor has been
"above himself" since the earthquakes last week and his admittedly heroic efforts to
rescue people along the waterfront who were in danger of drowning. True, such
everyday heroics aren't prone to translate straight into arena victories, but they do
SOMETIMES.
MIRAGE (84-10230) (15-13-1,49) of DRAGON'S GUARD V fought LAZY LOOKOUT (42-4504)
(22-19-1,21) of DUNGEON CELL. MIRAGE devastated LAZY LOOKOUT in a 2 minute
mismatched brawl. Tcha! I have no patience with the Lookout! If he'd been paying
the least attention, he would have realized that a scene involving an oasis and palm
trees HAD to be a mirage when it appeared before him in the arena.
PRISONER R02 (82-51078) (24-36-1,67) of DUNGEON CELL 4 fought MEAN SPIRIT (101-
5) (0-0-0,70) of Local Louts 101. PRISONER R02 lost to MEAN SPIRIT in an exciting 2
minute fray. The trouble with defeating the Mean Spirit, is that he "bounces back."
Meaner than ever, too.
PRISONER 0484 (82-49671) (19-41-1,47) of DUNGEON CELL 97 fought HERMY (101-4)
(0-0-0,50) of Local Louts 101. PRISONER 0484 was savagely defeated by HERMY in a
popular 5 minute bloody duel. Word around the back halls of the arena is that Hermy
was especially annoyed because of a HAT that was destroyed in some of the action
following the main earthquake. Believe it if you will.
RATLER (46-3055) (15-7-1,45) of SERPENT'S HOLD fought SURLY DECKHAND (21-6568)
(34-40-1,70) of SEA DOGS. RATLER viciously subdued SURLY DECKHAND in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute bloody bout. This was the victory that sent Ratler's recognition
skyrocketing.
STOWAWAY (18-9722) (24-25-4,80) of SEA DOGS fought DESPAIR (98-2057) (8-3-4,35)
of ZOMBIE SQUAD 3. STOWAWAY bested DESPAIR in a 1 minute one-sided battle. A good
thing, this, because if there's one thing likely to spell disaster for a stowaway
(and there are probably several), giving way to despair is it. Or somewhere on the
list, even if not at the top.
NO CHASER (33-6490) (35-35-0,128) of JOYS OF BOOZE fought HEMPEN JIG (9-5388)
(29-22-1,129) of SEA DOGS. NO CHASER subdued HEMPEN JIG in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
competition. Do we take this as a sign that chasing is Bad? Or notice that HJ, in
his eagerness to dance, tripped over his own rope and darned near hanged himself in
the arena?
OWAIN HARLSON (35-3130) (47-77-1,126) of CHILDREN OF LLYR fought SHADOW BLADE
(46-2972) (23-11-6,119) of SERPENT'S HOLD. OWAIN HARLSON was overpowered by SHADOW
BLADE in a 1 minute one-sided fight. This was the first fight today that did not
involve a Prisoner or a Sea Dog. If you're looking for that kind of thing. After
the fight was over, Owain was heard to mutter uncharitable things about "magic
swords," but hey, he's the loser. Let him mutter.
SPARE ANCHOR (18-9610) (37-25-1,175) of SEA DOGS fought HUW AP HUW (35-3030)
(35-96-1,115) of CHILDREN OF LLYR. SPARE ANCHOR outlasted HUW AP HUW in an action
packed 8 minute match. "Outlasted"? Tcha! How can a mere eight minutes be
"outlasted"? We've had fights SOOO much longer than that here, it isn't funny.
TAVIS CADFALSON (35-1419) (56-128-3,173) of CHILDREN OF LLYR fought DIVING HAWK
(3-2665) (46-68-0,156) of WE BIG WOHPUM. TAVIS CADFALSON was overpowered by DIVING
HAWK in a popular 1 minute uneven duel. This is the loss that dropped Tavis down in
the rankings, AND, I have no doubt, resulted in Diving Hawk rising.
SMOKE (68-5868) (25-14-0,163) of ZOMBIE SQUAD II II fought MATH OP OWAIN (35-
1418) (68-116-1,178) of CHILDREN OF LLYR. SMOKE won victory over MATH OP OWAIN in an
action packed 5 minute duel. I thought these Really Old Dudes like Math were heavy
smokers. Guess not in this case.
PRISONER 0118 (82-33748) (45-72-0,185) of DUNGEON CELL 24 fought GAR & BRILL
(38-4252) (79-137-1,172) of JUST BECAUSE. PRISONER 0118 defeated GAR & BRILL in an
action packed 2 minute melee. Good job! That is the Brill most in need of a rough
cleansing of any I have ever met.
PRISONER 0103 (82-33733) (60-70-0,190) of DUNGEON CELL 21 fought BATTLING BOB
(101-26) (0-0-0,200) of Local Louts 101. PRISONER 0103 beat BATTLING BOB in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute brawl. So much for Bob's prowess at Battling, eh?
GOB (51-5436) (26-14-1,196) of SEA DOGS fought LONG-NECKED LARRY (101-22) (0-0-
0,181) of Local Louts 101. GOB was unbelievably bested by LONG-NECKED LARRY in a
popular 2 minute bloody duel. You know, it's hard to keep coming up with new things
to say about these fights, or even old things that haven't been said nine times in
the past week. Should I suggest that Gob tied Larry's long neck in a knot?
JETSAM (1-8172) (36-34-1,193) of SEA DOGS fought CLEVER (50-2192) (50-26-2,193)
of RANDOM BLADES. JETSAM was overpowered by CLEVER in a 2 minute mismatched match.
Ah... this might mean that Clever was well named, I suppose.
PRISONER BG11 (99-1620) (30-27-4,211) of DUNGEON CELL 508C fought HUNGRY HAROLD
(101-29) (0-0-0,200) of Local Louts 101. PRISONER BG11 was viciously subdued by
HUNGRY HAROLD in a 2 minute brawl. "Hungry" is no euphemism here. We have to keep
Harold away from the lions; he's taken a liking to raw lion.
The challenge fight, and we congratulate Dominion on having a TV challenge to use:
DOMINION (98-2058) (7-4-3,27) of ZOMBIE SQUAD 3 TV challenged FLY FISHER (21-6727)
(26-4-1,89) of SEA DOGS. Up 62. Not only does Dominion have a TV challenge, but
he's got solid brass balls. DOMINION was viciously subdued by FLY FISHER in a 2
minute Challenge fight. No surprise, and we can hope it was instructive.
For the title:
BUDDERCUP (60-5967) (50-51-0,218) of BUMS 'R' US fought CORRUPT TURNKEY (42-
4487) (32-8-3,233) of DUNGEON CELL. BUDDERCUP was savagely defeated by CORRUPT
TURNKEY in an exciting 2 minute Title melee. The silent Buddercup is replaced! Will
the Corrupt Turnkey write a column? Even if he doesn't, we salute him.
