I don't do mornings. But this looks like a fine, sunny start to a day! What hey! Oh -- I rhymed. I feel I might actually enjoy writing a poem. But I'm, you know, too happy. That won't do at all. Poets have to starve in garrets. Here I sit in the luxurious spyreporter's suite in the Black Tower, nibbling the eggs and bacon, and sipping the juice of nine tanna leaves, which giveth motivation. Starvation appeals not at all. In fact... just a moment.... There, I've instructed the butler to take this plate of excellent persimmon scones and distribute them to any hungry-lurking urchins who might be passing by. Not that Willow Beach is noted for a large population of urchins. But I'm afraid that if I asked someone to take the scones to Talahya, they'd go cold and perhaps stale. Ah! The fights, yes. There were two challenges this turn! Let's look at those, first. Both of them were Preacher's fighters challenging those of A-Sop. Aha. Are they having a contest. You there! Are you? HOLOCAUST (38-3010) (44-40-2,189) of APOCALYPSE challenged ZANE GREY (21-4810) (31-56-2,187) of AUTHORS. HOLOCAUST bested ZANE GREY in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Challenge fight. GIDEON (38-3370) (23-16-1,85) of APOCALYPSE challenged 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (41- 135-0,45) of JUST BECAUSE. GIDEON vanquished 2 + 2 = 4 in a 2 minute brutal uneven Challenge battle. In other news, we had a Title fight. The spectators liked it, most of them, but I thought it was a bit... well, have you ever heard the term "pigeoned in"? As in, he delivered his performance via messenger pigeon? THUNDER BUG (37-3734) (32-19- 0,264) of TACKLE BOX fought ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (86-98-1,222) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II. THUNDER BUG overpowered ??RADAR?? in a crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched Title duel. Thunder Bug, why won't Buri let you pigeon in a column? This fight actuallly cost ??Radar?? his long-standing title of Overall Popularity Leader. Unfair! I still like the little guy. Our new overall favorite fighter is Big Bird. Hmm. BIG BIRD (2-5703) (14-10- 2,22) of THE FUNNY FARM fought ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (19-27-2,29) of THE LADY'S LIST. BIG BIRD was vanquished by ALOYICIUS in a 1 minute one-sided fray. That's Buri's bird getting bested by A-Sop. Twins fascinate me. I prefer it when they're ladies with big endowments, but here in Darkholm we have twins as well: The Hoffas. Pity. They both work for A- Sop, who apparently had a pretty bad day, except for a resounding victory against Big Bird. HOFFA (5-4622) (32-48-0,80) of JOHNS fought I. M. WEASEL (2-4474) (22-4-3,65) of THE FUNNY FARM. HOFFA was savagely defeated by I. M. WEASEL in a crowd pleasing 2 minute competition. HOFFA (5-4348) (12-122-0,43) of JOHNS fought JAMMY LARKE (5-4926) (35-30-0,89) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. HOFFA was demolished by JAMMY LARKE in a 2 minute mismatched match. Breakfast is done, there's a smudge of strawberry jam on this report, and it's time for my morning stroll. I believe I'll walk down to the beach and see if the Beach Babes have come home to their cabana yet. And so, until we next meet (probably in a tavern), I bid you all a fond farewell and cheerio!

Zakau -- You big bully! -- Helene Juste Clive -- I'd like to call you a big bully, too, but since you're a dwarf, I guess that won't go. -- Jeri Lough And we go 1-1 against Hoffa. That's almost embarrassing. -- Pendru Rost (winner) and Katirona Murh (the other) I. M. Weasel -- You made me mad. Thanks! That gave me the push to win. Maybe I should arrange for someone to make me mad before ever fight. -- Jammy Larke Thunder Bug -- Oh no. Now we both need to change our trains. Not likely, in my case, damn it. -- Stassia Samuel -- Sorry about all of that demonic fury.
