THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade
Greetings from the Keeper of the Runeblade! I didn't expect to be saying that
at so young an age. Did anyone notice my worthy opponent's record was exactly 200
fights my senior? Maybe I'll even start raising stats now, I've got a long career
ahead of me.
I predict I will hold the title for one turn, who's gonna take it?
-- Zoltan
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hullo hullo!
Since there were only sixteen fights, let's look at them all, shall we?
Look at that! We have a Keeper's column today! As he himself predicted, Zoltan
only held the title for one turn, but he did all that was expected of him, and more.
Well done! ZOLTAN (72-1483) (23-11-1,229) of LOST SWORDS fought ROB A. REE (39-3241)
(60-46-1,224) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. ZOLTAN was devastated by ROB A. REE in a 1 minute
mismatched Title fight. In a swift lunger-to-lunger duel, the more vicious man won.
Next turn, Mr. Ree will face Rugen the Jellyfish or Gateway--two very tough
opponents.
??RADAR?? (82-20310) (74-89-1,257) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II fought SOLACIA (104-
24) (68-32-0,225) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. ??RADAR?? was savagely defeated by SOLACIA
in an exciting 4 minute gory melee. Solacia, an honorary member of Criminal Element
for obvious reasons (and currently freelancing since Goldie's Hospitality House shut
down), managed to completely distract our dangerous young Wall of Steel. ??Radar??
is still our Overall Popularity Leader.
Once again, we have a bit of mystery. Five warriors of The Middle Way fought
this turn, and yet none of them is listed in the rankings. Just like last week.
Here's one of their fights: THOR (3-5672) (18-10-3,51) of AESIR fought KATIRONA MURH
(5-4929) (27-23-2,30) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. THOR was overcome by KATIRONA MURH in a 2
minute fight. These are two rather talented gladiators who have fallen on hard times
once they got to the Isle. Better luck in the future, eh?
I note that The Middle Way's warrriors probably cannot be challenged because
they don't appear in the ranks -- which may actually doom them to fight stand-ins
again. But I would like to propose an experiment. My guess is that Katirona Murh
(5-4249, 28-23-2) is probably still a Grand Initiate. As are the other four:
* Jeri Lough (5-4840) (16-41-0,28)
* Pendru Rost (5-4956) (17-54-0,45)
* Helene Juste (5-4875) (16-22-0,26)
* Jammy Larke (5-4926) (21-24-0,68)
Most likely Tyr, Eek the Cat, and Thor are the only ones who can challenge them. I
ask that you do so! Just to see if it can be done.
In what one can only assume was a conspiracy, the devious blonde Debby Tonte
impersonator and the infamous Innkeeper's Son ganged up on the remaining three
warriors of The Middle Way. Ms. Tonte accounted for Pendru Rost and Jammy Larke,
while the surly youth (not such a youth anymore, I think he's pushing thirty-five)
took it upon himself to beat the girl, Helene Juste. What did they hope to gain?
STASSIA (37-1523) (85-102-3,227) of UP TO NO GOOD fought RUGEN THE JELLYFISH
(82-12478) (58-22-0,210) of HANNAH'S PALS. STASSIA was vanquished by RUGEN THE
JELLYFISH in a popular 1 minute mismatched brawl.
CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (94-122-2,199) of ILLFANG PACT fought SEX ON THE BEACH (54-
2435) (47-41-3,186) of INDULGENT DRINKS. CRYSOPRASE demolished SEX ON THE BEACH in a
1 minute mismatched competition. As usual, Crysoprase is our top parry-striker
because nobody else wants the job.
HAGAR (3-3717) (26-5-0,201) of AESIR fought B.A. TURRY (39-3383) (37-48-2,194)
of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. HAGAR overpowered B.A. TURRY in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-
sided struggle.
ENDER (69-1066) (30-27-4,204) of XENOCIDE fought COOLER (82-7277) (123-111-
2,193) of STYROFOAM. ENDER was handily defeated by COOLER in a 1 minute uneven
fight. Pity, that. I, too, have been defeated by picnic accessories before. It's
not something you like to see.
KALIDOR (69-2314) (23-29-0,193) of HYBORIA fought MEN WORKING (38-4189) (54-201-
1,178) of JUST BECAUSE. KALIDOR vanquished MEN WORKING in a 1 minute uneven duel.
M.W. is our Top Basher, which kind of explains it.
NEEDLE (69-3134) (29-20-0,184) of HYBORIA fought GATEWAY (82-15631) (96-57-
1,203) of ATTACK OF THE CLONES. NEEDLE was vanquished by GATEWAY in an action packed
1 minute gory uneven fight. That one was predictable, wasn't it?
HULA POPPER (37-2986) (24-22-0,180) of TACKLE BOX fought ARSONIST ART (39-3325)
(51-49-0,180) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. HULA POPPER savagely defeated ARSONIST ART in an
action packed 3 minute gory match. Mr. Art is our Top Total Parry, so beating him in
the third minute is a little bit remarkable. And that's why Hula Popper was voted
this turn's favorite.
THUNDER BUG (37-3734) (21-11-0,157) of TACKLE BOX fought SMELL CAREFULLY (18-
8889) (57-103-2,176) of STREET PIZZA. THUNDER BUG was defeated by SMELL CAREFULLY in
an exciting 1 minute match. Amazingly, neither of these warriors was the top at
anything.
WORK IN PROGRESS (38-4193) (62-193-2,138) of JUST BECAUSE fought EEK THE CAT (2-
4110) (19-7-0,92) of THE FUNNY FARM. WORK IN PROGRESS devastated EEK THE CAT in an
exciting 2 minute mismatched conflict. This was our Top Parry-Riposter defeating our
top Parry-Lunger. Well done, both of you.
TYR (3-5575) (26-3-0,93) of AESIR fought JERI LOUGH (5-4840) (16-40-0,28) of THE
MIDDLE WAY 5. TYR demolished JERI LOUGH in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided
brawl. At least it wasn't part of the conspiracy. I think.
I believe that's all I have to say, this time around. I hope to see your
shining faces in two weeks. *lifts a glass of hangover cure* Until then!

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Malic -- The stables of Aesir, Tackle Box, etc are not my grandson Odin's, but mine.
Odin has been in the afterlife for an eon now, ever striving to break free to the
living world. -- Buri
Buri -- I beg your pardon! I'll remember that. -- Malic
Cooler -- I'd be pretty embarrassed if I were you... a 200 fight difference, tsk tsk.
-- Zoltan
Crysoprase -- I'm usually the one delivering hits there (just ask WIP), at my size
it's just easier to reach. -- Thunder Bug
Stassia -- Now that I think about it, it might help me land on my feet. -- Kalidor
Sex on the Beach -- Judging by our records, you're actually better at what we do than
I am, so how come I beat you? Anyway, I liked that the audience quieted in respect
for our masterful dueling. Cool when that happens. -- Stassia
Needle -- I found out afterwards that the bookies had me rated ahead for every minute
of our fight, but I thought you were doing great, especially when you broke my
weapon. Cheap Commission gear, heh. -- Crysoprase
P.S. Thanks for agreeing to circle in the other direction. I was getting kind of
queasy.
