                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     What a bunch!  The gladiators who rightfully make their homes in Home Guard have
been avoiding the arena in droves.  And every other way, come to that.  Major
avoidance.
     Thirteen fights, and a lot of the guys here look like green kids.  What happened
to our puds?  Our venerable old warhorses?  Only one standby, which counts as a
positive factor, but still.  Three challenges, no most challenged, no most avoided.
Bah.  Gar & Brill had the biggest point gain, twenty-three points.  Mirage had the
biggest loss at twelve points.  Different fights.

     DEAD LEE (8-3142) (12-4-0,66) of YOU PAY I SLAY fought SURLY DECKHAND (21-6568)
(38-46-1,62) of SEA DOGS.  DEAD LEE was overpowered by SURLY DECKHAND in a 1 minute
mismatched conflict.  I should hope so!  These kids need slapping down.
     DOMINION (98-2058) (9-12-3,65) of ZOMBIE SQUAD 3 fought MORBID CRUSADER (21-
6825) (21-9-1,89) of DARK AT HEART.  DOMINION was viciously subdued by MORBID
CRUSADER in an exciting 2 minute battle.  So, Morbid, how does it feel to be
(relatively) an old veteran?
     PRISONER 0484 (82-49671) (23-47-1,51) of DUNGEON CELL 97 fought FAMINE (21-6826)
(15-13-0,46) of DARK AT HEART.  PRISONER 0484 was savagely defeated by FAMINE in a
crowd pleasing 3 minute match.  Kids... I don't know what we're coming to here.
     PRISONER R02 (82-51078) (30-40-1,70) of DUNGEON CELL 4 fought MIRAGE (84-10230)
(23-15-1,83) of DRAGON'S GUARD V.  PRISONER R02 overcame MIRAGE in a popular 1 minute
bout.  This cost Mirage twelve points, but it doesn't seem like an unreasonable loss.

     FLY FISHER (21-6727) (31-9-1,118) of SEA DOGS fought OWAIN HARLSON (35-3130)
(51-83-1,108) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  FLY FISHER overpowered OWAIN HARLSON in a 1
minute one-sided fight.  Of course, there's this one problem with old puds... they
lose a lot.  It's a defining characteristic.
     SIDEWINDER (21-6883) (22-2-1,154) of SERPENTS HOLD fought MAD DOG MONTANA (29-
4984) (31-29-6,138) of STREET WALKERS.  SIDEWINDER defeated MAD DOG MONTANA in an
action packed 2 minute duel.  This was... odd to watch, what with the Serpent winding
sideways, and Montana flailing like a mad dog and foaming at the mouth.  I hardly
know what to say abpit ot/
     GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (81-145-1,162) of JUST BECAUSE fought AYLIAN (101-23) (0-
0-0,181) of Miscellaneous Staff.  GAR & BRILL handily defeated AYLIAN in an action
packed 1 minute gruesome uneven melee.  For this, Gar gets the biggest point rise?
Cheese.
     CHATTY CABALIST (42-4488) (36-18-3,173) of DUNGEON CELL fought HUW AP HUW (35-
3030) (37-104-1,136) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  CHATTY CABALIST overpowered HUW AP HUW in
a popular 1 minute mismatched brawl.  Out-chatted him.
     SPARE ANCHOR (18-9610) (44-28-1,193) of SEA DOGS fought BUDDERCUP (60-5967) (54-
57-0,197) of BUMS 'R' US.  SPARE ANCHOR slimly won victory over BUDDERCUP in a
popular 13 minute bloody duel.  Thirteen minutes.  Huh.  Did you notice the lions
come out after the tenth minute?  Neither did I.  We seem to be missing a couple of
lions.

The challenges:
     BRICKHOUSE (29-4131) (44-22-0,142) of STREET WALKERS challenged NO CHASER (33-
6490) (38-42-0,144) of JOYS OF BOOZE.  Up 2.  BRICKHOUSE was viciously subdued by NO
CHASER in a 3 minute Challenge brawl.  The comments that rise to my tongue regardint
this match are... censored, apparently.  Too bad, I was wondering what they might end
up being.
     GOLDIE (29-4805) (29-17-5,171) of STREET WALKERS challenged TAVIS CADFALSON (35-
1419) (59-135-3,174) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  Up 3.  GOLDIE demolished TAVIS CADFALSON
in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee.  Oh, well, so much for the merits of
a pud.
     DIRTY SANCHEZ (29-4802) (29-18-0,176) of STREET WALKERS challenged SMOKE (68-
5868) (29-20-0,187) of ZOMBIE SQUAD II II.  Up 11.  DIRTY SANCHEZ was bested by SMOKE
in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge fight.  BOTH you guys need to go wash.

For the title:
     JETSAM (1-8172) (45-35-1,274) of SEA DOGS fought MATH OP OWAIN (35-1418) (74-
120-1,209) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  JETSAM overpowered MATH OP OWAIN in a 2 minute
mismatched Title match.  No real surprise in this, but in a way, it's too bad.  Math
would at least write a sentence or two.  Of course, it could be that Jetsam's busy
getting ready for the up-coming tourney, and if so, we wish him the best.

catfish hunter should be a party animal escapes me. -- Math op Owain
P.S.  Which may be just as well.
