THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Lord-Marshall
Natas was pleased. He had regained the title in Free Blades a turn or so before
the split and he would be hauled off to the Primus arena for the rest of his career.
He was a bit of a hybrid--not really an arena warrior and certainly not a tournament
warrior--at least up until this point. That was about to change, however. He had
been given word that he would now get "parked" in Contenders for some time.
Apparently the number crunchers at corporate headquarters felt that he would be
best suited to hanging out there and takings some runs at a title. As he was not an
aimed blow, Natas was curious as to why this was determined, but he wasn't really
interested in the complex formulae used to determine it. He was just happy that he
would be allowed to fight and get in some tournament time.
In the meantime he was going to get some public works underway that he had been
dreaming of. Fortunately the Lord Marshall had free reign with the Free Blades
treasury, and though times had been lean, there was enough in the coffers to get the
project started.
A soft knock on the door to his study was followed by the entrance of one of the
senior accounting clerks for the arena.
"Lord Marshall, you asked that I stop in to see you?" The short, balding
accountant with large spectacles adjusted his ledger.
"Come in, Weatherby. Did you run the cost analysis on the project?"
"I did, sir. And I have to protest. The expense would run the coffers dry. We
wouldn't have enough funding in the event..."
"The event of what? We suddenly had to go to war? Everything's peaceful. On
all fronts. Here are reports from the Lady's General Staff. All caution levels are
green." Natas rose and began to pace. "Weatherby, the arena is over 20 years old
now, it's in decent shape, but it has become old hat to the spectators. This would
spice things up and commemorate our history. In addition we could keep a museum open
weekwide and that would spark more money for the concessions and generate revenue."
Weatherby began scribbling notes as he followed Natas' tirade.
"But the key to it all is the statue project. True, we are all made immortal
once we arrive on the Isle, but most of the greats are long retired. Our audience
may never have seen I Backstroke, who once held the title for an entire split, or any
of the ancient Roman Hero Lord Marshalls or even know who was the first ever Lord
Marshall of Free Blades... Even I don't know that. Do you? This way every fighter
who attains the title in this arena will forever be remembered. And we're not just
doing it going forward, but we're going back, too. Starting with the very first Lord
Marshall we are going to immortalize every one of us in marble. We are going to ring
the top of the arena in these statues and attach a museum with the history of each
fighter so that nothing will ever be forgotten."
The scribe nodded, now caught up in the enthusiasm. "We can charge a minimal
fee to enter the museum and then make a killing on souvenirs, gifts and the
concession booths."
Natas shook his head. "It's not about the money, rather it's about history. We
need to remember ours if we want to become even greater moving forward."
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Listen, guys, we're, like, totally exhausted. All of us in the spy reporters'
office. Sure, Olaf signed off on the tourney spy report, but we all helped. Why
not? It wasn't like things were so calm we could, you know, relax. Talk about a
whirlwind of activity, this one had an umbrella in it. So I'm just going to give you
the high spots.
Marlenus got the biggest point gain for beating Helyse.
Antonius got the biggsst point loss for losing to Kookaburra.
Street Walkers were Most Avoided by Roman heroes. I'm not touching that one.
The Quickling got the most challenges.
We had nineteen fights, with four standbys, and five challenges.
And before we meet again, the Split.
The challenges:
WEDNESDAY (16-5254) (17-18-2,52) of THE DARK TIDES challenged DARDANIUS (19-
2683) (15-4-1,70) of IDES OF MARCH. Up 18. WEDNESDAY was devastated by DARDANIUS in
a 1 minute one-sided Challenge duel.
BIONIC BUFFALO (11-6570) (48-49-0,194) of DO IT AGAIN challenged SMUG BUG (55-
2900) (95-170-0,197) of RHYME TYME. Up 3. BIONIC BUFFALO was defeated by SMUG BUG
in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge match.
JEANNE D'ARC (70-68) (42-30-0,201) of GORGEOUS GOBLINS challenged SUPERIOR
FORCES (33-4543) (132-181-3,223) of DUPLICATE REDUNDANCY. Up 22. JEANNE D'ARC
overpowered SUPERIOR FORCES in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge duel.
DREAD (32-4666) (34-19-0,209) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged THE QUICKLING (70-
1669) (94-222-3,204) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. Down 5. DREAD was subdued by THE QUICKLING
in a exciting 1 minute Challenge melee.
DEFIANCE (32-4619) (52-16-1,209) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged NIGHTCAP (74-2745)
(171-126-0,261) of DARKLINGS. Up52. DEFIANCE was unbelievably bested by NIGHTCAP in
a 3 minute Challenge fight.
For the title:
NATAS (11-6531) (51-30-0,242) of DO IT AGAIN fought JOHN TYLER (5-4420) (41-11-
0,217) of I'M HISTORY. NATAS was unbelievably bested by JOHN TYLER in a popular 5
minute Title competition. And I bet Johnny boy won't write a word. Bummer.
