REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Oh! Good morning!
It's a bright, blustery autumn day here. Nice day for a walk if you tie your
hat on. Sorry I missed writing the spy report last time out, but the Commission was
all jumbled with something they call the "freeze," and when the fighters were
actually allowed to do their thing, days late, then the clerks were in a hurry to get
their tasks done so they could go on to the next thing. Too late for me to mull over
one of these epics, you know?
Do you know why the tower here in Willow Beach is the Black Tower? It's built
of lava rock, and it's built to hold in warmth during these long Alastarian winters.
I think that's why the arena was built so tall and narrow, as well. To keep the
chilly lake wind from finding its way in. Although it is rather miserable in the
summer, and claustrophobic all year round. When you stand on the sands, it's like
standing at the bottom of a gigantic well.
You probably all know why the arena smells like manure, but for any newcomers,
it's because of the beast pens down below. On days when the gladiators didn't fight,
they used to pit men against animals--bears and the like. But the village folk
stopped volunteering for that, and the audience diminished, so now the pens down
there are used to house local livestock during the winter months. I keep my horse
down there, too.
We have a new Keeper of the Runeblade. Last turn it was ??Radar??, who didn't
write a column. ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (101-101-1,277) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II fought
CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (117-138-3,213) of ILLFANG PACT. ??RADAR?? was bested by
CRYSOPRASE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Title fight. Which makes Crysoprase our top
Parry-Striker, as if she wasn't anyway, since it's not a common style. And ??Radar??
is our top Wall of Steel. And Crysoprase, please write a column! I beg you on
bended knee!
Somebody died this time out! PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (31-43-0,72) of
HIGHLANDERS fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (48-146-0,76) of JUST BECAUSE. PELIS THE TRUE
was barely slain by 2 + 2 = 4 in a popular 3 minute brutal brawl. Barely slain? Is
that like "sort of pregnant"? Anyway, neither of them is a stylemaster or anything.
In Talahya Arena, their chronic Overall Popularity Leader always describes his
fancy Adantri outfit for the readers to enjoy. Well... ??Radar?? was our Overall
Popularity Leader here for a long time, but he never wore anything noteworthy. This
turn it's Tolais Deepheart, although probably ??Radar?? will be back next turn. Ms.
Deepheart is from Rodeki, which is not noted for its high fashion. She wore
something loose and brown. Rodeki haute couture, I think. But the spectators liked
her for her flashy fighting moves. TASHI'SINDAR (1-3249) (78-57-3,185) of STORM
RIDERS II fought TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (125-136-0,205) of HIGHLANDERS.
TASHI'SINDAR viciously subdued TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a popular 1 minute gory contest.
This was a rematch, and this time the voluptuous orc woman was defeated. Mr. 'Sindar
is our top Lunger, having supplanted Zakau in that position.
One of our three Hoffas was voted Least Favorite this turn. HOFFA (5-4299) (18-
69-0,40) of JOHNS fought KATIRONA MURH (5-4929) (52-37-2,84) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5.
HOFFA was demolished by KATIRONA MURH in an exciting 1 minute one-sided bout.
Do you miss the golem spy reporters yet? Here's an excerpt from Alarond the
Scribe's notes: "Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched
sword sings the sweetest." Kind of like a young child whistling out of the gap from
a missing front tooth?
I have lots more to say, but I'm writing slowly today and the Commission runner
is getting antsy. So, time to sign off.
Cheerio!

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Tashi'Sindar -- Oh my gosh, they left you in the infirmary for DAYS before they got
around to healing you. I guess there were a lot of people who were hurt worse. Did
you get the candy I sent? Anyway, you fought really well. I was impressed. --
Tolais Deepheart
Lennon -- I don't know why they matched me against a youngster like you. Shortage of
opponents, maybe? Anyway, I hope you're all right now. -- Crysoprase
Mark -- Teddy bear? You want us to leave our TEDDY BEAR behind? That, you silly
human is an actual Red Mountain bear. And we didn't let him into the arena, he just
intimidated the gate guard to get in. Then we were so busy protecting him from the
Commission enforcers we couldn't fight you. Thank you for the skills, though. I
learned the riposte one and Balmador learned the attack one. -- Adabemis
Hoffa -- Wait, which one are you? Anyway I think that head hit, early on, kind of
addled you, so... sorry. If not for that, you would probably have parried better. --
Pelis the True
Ol Smokey -- I have a cat named Smokey. I tried to go easy on you because I like the
cat. I hope you're feeling better. -- Philthry
Novgorodny Vir -- Those things the Zen master told you... it definitely wasn't
conversational abilities. -- Philthry
