Hi.

Red Fusion

P.S.  You're welcome.

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Great warriors of the Federation, hail!

     Thundr + Litening was avoided by It's New!.  However, this could not prevent
Wiggler's TV challenge from getting through to Red Fusion.  1) WIGGLER (18-8088) (33-
6-1,295) of THUNDR + LITENING TV challenged RED FUSION (6-5480) (42-9-0,258) of IT'S
NEW!.  WIGGLER devastated RED FUSION in a 2 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.
Such a pity, too, after Red Fusion went and wrote a...word.  Sometimes even writing a
column and using your avoids can't protect you from an aimed blow practitioner who is
also a Tournament Victor. Well done, Wiggler.
    Unfortunately, that was our only TV challenge this turn.  I believe there's
another tourney coming up; maybe we will get several more Tournament Victors out of
it.  No one was slain, either.  Tsk.
     Our most challenged warrior was Work in Progress.  You can see why.  If ever a
warrior's record said "Easy Win!" it would be his.  GOHAN (18-8449) (22-12-1,69) of
WASTELAND challenged WORK IN PROGRESS (38-4193) (25-79-2,89) of JUST BECAUSE.  GOHAN
vanquished WORK IN PROGRESS in an exciting 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
     Crack is Cheap remains our overall popularity leader.  Personally I think he had
a lot of help from Schyler, who was this turn's favorite.  SCHYLER (6-4866) (65-107-
1,198) of THE LADY'S LIST fought CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (34-20-0,191) of NEGATIVE
CASH FLOW.  SCHYLER savagely defeated CRACK IS CHEAP in a crowd pleasing 5 minute
bloody conflict.  All right, they were both pretty darned exciting.
     Pud was the crowd's least favorite this turn.  I SEE SOUNDS (21-5704) (21-17-
1,78) of COSMIC FREAK OUT fought PUD 126 (82-22024) (24-10-0,87) of PUDS AGAIN 6.  I
SEE SOUNDS demolished PUD 126 in a 1 minute one-sided conflict.  Hmm.  I didn't get a
chance to talk with Pud about this, but I saw them taking his temperature in the
infirmary and I think he was ill.  Hang in there, youngster.  You'll improve.
     They say Lirin Kiv (107) is going to merge with Free Blades (103).  Do you think
Darkholm should merge with another arena on the Isle?  I don't think we want Primus,
so I guess our choices would be Talahya, Home Guard or Chrysalis.  Or Andorak
(shuddering).  Any of these would probably mean moving out of Willow Beach and back
to the big town.  What do you think?  Mind you, it has not been suggested by anyone
in the Gladiatorial Commission.  It just occurred to me since Darkholm does seem to
be shrinking.
     Well, that's all for now.  I'll see you in a fortnight and who knows?  Maybe
Darkholm will take a turn for the better.

Numbered Won -- At last you have succeeded.  My congratulations. -- Tolais Deepheart

Cooler -- But not cool enough, you flimsy thing! -- Mucker

Mahi Mahi -- How can a mere FISH such as yourself be so mean?  You're as bad as a
human! -- Life of Osksi

Pegasus -- I still don't see you actually flying with those things, you know. --
Maginot Mike

Desiree -- I have no desire to get closer to a creature that can fly over and drop
several pounds on the unwary.  Plus, they might fall out of the sky themselves if
they're counting on magic to hold 'em up.  After all, everyone says magic is on the
decline, and that means less umphf to go around, right? -- Maginot Mike

     Maginot Mike -- (smiling) If you visit them in their stable, these
     considerations will not be relevant.  Yes, the first danger is quite real.  It's
     not several pounds, though.  Two or three at most, and rarely does someone get
     the full brunt of it, as it tends to spread out during free fall.  Those who
     work around a pegasus stable are said to have been "anointed" the first time it
     happens to them.  The victim has to buy a round of drinks for all the stable
     hands that night.  As for the second concern, I don't know.  I think I remember
     hearing that creatures bred to magic are somewhat insulated from the problem, as
     their innate magic is locked inside them.  But I've sent a message to the
     Stronghold Academy to find out if they know the answer to that. -- Desiree
