                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Oh dear...
     There were no challenges, no avoids, no deaths...
     ONE A DAY (98-799) (73-43-3,399) of MY DRUGS fought MAHI MAHI (18-4899) (154-84-
2,235) of BIG MEAN FISH.  ONE A DAY was devastated by MAHI MAHI in a 2 minute
mismatched Title fight.  I must say that I LIKE Mahi Mahi.  Top Striker.  I prefer
the less refined, more elemental fighting styles.  Wall of Steel is the best... love
that endurance... but Strikers have such lovely muscles!  So welcome to the top of
the heap, MM, and I hope to see a column from you next turn!  Please do not
disappoint me.
     How unfortunate that the fastidious Fool's Mate got matched up with Greasy
Napkins AGAIN!  Fate can be cruel.  At least Fool's Mate won the fight and gained 34
points for his team (not that it's going to help).  GREASY NAPKINS (82-10156) (15-8-
0,93) of REAL PIZZA FLAVOR fought FOOL'S MATE (3-5516) (24-36-0,55) of GAMES LIBRARY.
GREASY NAPKINS was overpowered by FOOL'S MATE in an exciting 1 minute one-sided
fight.  Well done!
     HE HATE ME (18-7820) (66-53-2,217) of WASTELAND fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0-
0,200) of INTREPID AMATEURS!  HE HATE ME handily defeated SHADOWMANE in a popular 1
minute uneven fight.
     Our local amateur team had a 3-2 turn this cycle.  Well done!
     * MR TACO WORKS (18-7620) (28-21-1,182) of WASTELAND fought BLIND BEGGAR (104-
26) (40-35-0,200) of INTREPID AMATEURS!  MR TACO WORKS was devastated by BLIND BEGGAR
in an exciting 1 minute uneven duel.
     * GOHAN (18-8449) (47-40-1,194) of WASTELAND fought SOLACIA (104-24) (68-32-
0,225) of INTREPID AMATEURS!  GOHAN was beaten by SOLACIA in an exciting 1 minute
match.
     * CHIPS AHOY (97-1586) (27-21-4,184) of DEATH BY CHOCOLATE fought LAUGHING
BARMAID (104-9) (0-0-0,170) of INTREPID AMATEURS!  CHIPS AHOY slimly won victory over
LAUGHING BARMAID in a popular 3 minute fray.
     * OLD MAID (3-5624) (26-34-1,58) of GAMES LIBRARY once again (!) fought DEBBY
TONTE (104-2) (20-30-0,30) of INTREPID AMATEURS!  OLD MAID was defeated by DEBBY
TONTE in an exciting 2 minute brutal struggle.
     I don't know if any of you are aware that in the Talahya courts, all testimony
is dutifully transcribed by clerks.  Some of it is rather amazing.  I've recently
been shown a selection of excerpts that you may find informative.

Q: So the date of conception (of the baby) was Frostwind 8th?
A: Yes.
Q: And what were you doing at that time?

Q: She had three children, right?
A: Yes.
Q: How many were boys?
A: None.
Q: Were there any girls?

Q: How was your first marriage terminated?
A: By death.
Q: By whose death was it terminated?

Q: Can you describe the individual?
A: He was about medium height and had a beard.
Q: Was this a male, or a female?

Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?
A: All my autopsies are performed on dead people.

Q: All your responses must be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
A: Oral.

Q: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
A: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
Q: And Mr. Swordsworth was dead at the time?
A: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy on him.

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

     I hope you have been amused, at least a little.  And I DO hope you will all try
to use your power to challenge and to avoid next turn!  It makes the games so much
more interesting!

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Plankwalker -- Very good.  It isn't everyone who can inch along a plank that slowly
and still maintain balance.  Usually it takes a golem, but you managed it quite well.
-- Calculator

Greasy Napkins -- *I* am not the fool, and I won't be partnered with anyone who can
accept napkins like THAT.  Euwh! -- Fool's Mate the Fastidious

Mr. Dutch Crunch -- Hmm, milk chocolate with almonds.  Not bad, though dark chocolate
and pecans would be better. -- Strategics
P.S.  You think it odd that a golem would appreciate chocolate?  Not so, we are often
designed to appreciate ALL that is best, and chocolate is definitely in that group.

     Strategics -- Have you been associating with Life? -- Desiree

Vista Blows -- And in time, is covered by a... Dune

Debby Tonte -- Oh, dear, I do believe Strategics was RIGHT about you.  It simply
doesn't seem possible for you to be the REAL Debby Tonte.  For one thing, though you
show a blonde head of hair, your roots are red.  And, as noted last time, your tan is
pale and a little uneven.  A good tan takes work, you know. -- Old Maid

Desiree -- Can you confirm the rumor that the Laughing Barmaid has run off with the
Innkeeper's Son?  Or is this a vile slander of two upstanding young people? -- Old
Maid

     Old Maid -- The Innkeeper's Son offered to put her up for the night, but the
     Barmaid Laughed. -- Desiree
