                                 THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
                      Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade

Hi!
     Well, I said pretty much everything last time, didn't I?  This past turn, I
fought Mark of Johns.  It was a good fight, and he was ahead at the beginning of the
second minute (after stabbing me in the gut).  But then I hit him a couple of times
and said something insulting about a teddy bear.  I really should practice some
different things to say.  Because you know, in the heat of the moment, it's hard to
think of anything clever.  Have you heard the legends about those Vannish warriors
who sang battle songs as they fought?  I don't think I could do that.  For one thing,
I really need all of my breath for fighting.
     Anyway... still protecting Gaia.  I fed an entire bushel of nasty diapers and
mostly-empty paint cans to the lake monsters yesterday.  We don't drink that water,
right?
     Well, someone can defeat me now, because I'm pretty much out of things to say.
Bye!

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo!

     Well, it was a fairly short day of fights--seventeen in all.  No one challenged
or avoided or died.  Why don't I just list all the fights?  Okay, I will.

     CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (119-138-3,225) of ILLFANG PACT fought ELAYRON (51-1492)
(89-62-0,214) of BLOOD + ORANGES.  CRYSOPRASE was viciously subdued by ELAYRON in a
crowd pleasing 6 minute Title fight.  I think Elayron might write a column, so this
is good!  Elayron is top Parry-Lunger and Crysoprase is top Parry-Striker.  Elayron
looked pretty spectacular in his Jhelumite helm, which was elaborate in its horned
shape, although from where I sat, I couldn't really see the dragon-patterned
enameling on it.  Crysoprase wore a red shirt and brown pants, like that old joke
about the sea captain and the pirates.
     Since we're doing fashion commentary, I wore a navy blue tunic with light blue
pinstripes, and a baldric that my mother sent me, with gold crowns on it.

     ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (102-102-2,315) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II fought MEN WORKING
(38-4189) (69-227-1,183) of JUST BECAUSE.  ??RADAR?? demolished MEN WORKING in a 2
minute one-sided melee.  ??Radar??, whose name I tire of writing, is our top Wall of
Steel and our Overall Popularity Leader.  Men Working is our best Basher.
     JAMMY LARKE (5-4926) (50-35-0,190) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought ZAKAU (5-4623)
(47-53-0,172) of JOHNS.    JAMMY LARKE overpowered ZAKAU in a 1 minute mismatched
duel.  Mr. Larke is our top Parry-Riposter.
     MARK (5-4088) (58-141-3,190) of JOHNS fought TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (126-
137-0,205) of HIGHLANDERS.  MARK viciously subdued TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a popular 3
minute brutal fight.  No stylemasters here, nor any costume malfunctions either.  Ms.
Deepheart seems to wear the sturdiest possible garments.
     LENNON (5-4087) (35-33-1,182) of JOHNS fought TASHI'SINDAR (1-3249) (79-58-
3,187) of STORM RIDERS II.  LENNON was devastated by TASHI'SINDAR in a popular 1
minute uneven brawl.  Lennon is our best Slasher, while Tashi'Sindar is our best
Lunger, having a style advantage as well as a significant edge in experience.  Hardly
an upset, this.

     HIKARAN DAAL (1-2070) (79-94-1,180) of STORM RIDERS fought CLIVE (6-5215) (45-
39-5,180) of THE LADY'S LIST.  HIKARAN DAAL slimly won victory over CLIVE in a crowd
pleasing 4 minute match.  Mr. Daal is our top Total Parry.
     MIKEL (6-6190) (33-33-3,171) of THE LADY'S LIST fought ADABEMIS & BALMADOR (42-
1671) (24-42-0,120) of HIGHLANDERS.  MIKEL handily defeated ADABEMIS & BALMADOR in an
action packed 1 minute uneven fight.  No stylemasters in this fight, and the stacked
dwarves looked a bit wobbly, I thought.
     ZANE GREY (21-4810) (36-71-2,133) of AUTHORS fought LAUGHING BARMAID (104-9) (0-
0-0,170) of  ILLFANG PACT.  ZANE GREY was vanquished by LAUGHING BARMAID in a popular
1 minute uneven duel.  Mr. Grey is our top Striker.
     HELENE JUSTE (5-4875) (30-48-1,105) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-
4190) (49-147-1,93) of JUST BECAUSE.  HELENE JUSTE vanquished 2 + 2 = 4 in a popular
2 minute brutal one-sided duel.  Hmm.

     JUSTIN (6-6179) (26-43-3,120) of THE LADY'S LIST fought MASUMII (42-4117) (19-
11-0,99) of FLAGG'S FIVE.  JUSTIN overcame MASUMII in a popular 3 minute bout.
Indeed.  Actually it was a pretty good fight.
     FATALITY (7-5820) (19-4-0,97) of BRUTAL LEGION fought SATCHEL (6-6215) (40-32-
2,89) of THE LADY'S LIST.  FATALITY demolished SATCHEL in a 1 minute mismatched
match.  I have nothing to say about this fight.  Nothing at all.  Really.
     DIGGER WASP (7-4899) (14-5-0,54) of FLAGG'S CHAMPIONS fought ZEUS (62-4010) (20-
5-0,87) of LEGION OF LEGEND.  DIGGER WASP viciously subdued ZEUS in an exciting 7
minute brutal contest.  This, I believe, was our longest fight, and it earned Digger
Wasp the honor of being voted this turn's favorite.
     GATE WITCH (42-3953) (23-13-0,62) of FLAGG'S FIVE fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (26-
26-0,76) of  HIGHLANDERS.  GATE WITCH was devastated by PHILTHRY in a crowd pleasing
1 minute mismatched bout.  Gate witch... what does gate witchery entail, I wonder?
Some sort of magical carpentry?

     PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (31-45-0,47) of HIGHLANDERS fought HOFFA (5-4622) (38-
62-0,78) of JOHNS.  PELIS THE TRUE was defeated by HOFFA in a popular 6 minute duel.
This was the first of three Hoffa fights, and the most popular one by far.
     ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (23-43-2,68) of THE LADY'S LIST fought JERI LOUGH (5-4840)
(40-57-0,76) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5.  ALOYICIUS was devastated by JERI LOUGH in an
exciting 1 minute uneven duel.  Quick.  I sneezed and missed it.
     PENDRU ROST (5-4956) (34-77-0,88) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought HOFFA (5-4299) (18-
71-0,46) of JOHNS.  PENDRU ROST devastated HOFFA in a 1 minute mismatched brawl.
Here we see the least popular of the Hoffas.  In fact, he was voted least popular of
the entire arena.
     KATIRONA MURH (5-4929) (53-38-2,67) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought HOFFA (5-4348)
(14-140-0,76) of JOHNS.  KATIRONA MURH was savagely defeated by HOFFA in a 5 minute
brutal bout.  This is the third, and least noteworthy, of the Hoffa fights, although
it really WAS brutal; some of the things he did made me wince.

     And that, my friends, concludes our spyre porting adventure for this fortnight.
So unless we run into each other in town, I'll see you all in fourteen.  Ta-ta!

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Crysoprase -- Tamales are wrapped in corn husks.  Utterly biodegradable.  They aren't
trash, they're mulch. -- Elayron

Tolais Deepheart -- I noticed the difficulty myself, but my original manager liked
it.  My original manager happens to be YOUR current manager, you know, and she likes
the exotic in written names.  Never thinks about pronunciation until the name is
already in the Commission's files and practically set in stone. -- Tashi'Sindar

Philthry -- And highly oggle-worthy she is, too. -- Tashi'Sindar

Zakau -- As others have doubtless noted, you are worthless and weak, and you don't
belong here.  Although you are adequate as a target dummy. -- Hikaran Daal

I think the team for which Men Working "fights" should be renamed "It's a joke." --
Elayron the annoyed
P.S.  Today, I have been trying out a suit of armor with "hidden enamel," which seems
to mean that the light has to be just SO in order to see the patterns.  Rather like
the Runeblade in that, perhaps.  The pattern in this case, so far as I can tell, is a
seethe of dragons.

Crysoprase -- I hold you responsible for ??Radar??'s excessive violence.  Violence is
like any other kind of energy, it's conserved.  It doesn't go away, it just gets
passed around. -- Tashi'sindar
P.S.  Malic, the accumulating evidence suggests that "peaceful fishermen" have no
objection to seeing violence happen to OTHER people.  They become inured.  Their
moral fiber is coarsened until it resembles low-quality coconut matting.

Tashi'Sindar -- Well, the infirmary isn't a nice place to read.  Too much groaning in
the background! -- Tolais Deepheart
P.S.  You compliment my figure in the same breath as you talk about knocking me down.
I don't know, I think being gladiators warps us.  It's weird to be attracted to
someone whom you hack at with edged weapons.

Mark -- I'm lucky to have won!  With both of us powered by superhuman wills, you'd
think it would be the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object.  But I thought
it was a good fight.  You know, not counting the hurty bits. -- Crysoprase

Lennon -- It took them days to heal you?  Or did you borrow Tashi'Sindar's book? --
Crysoprase

2 + 2 = 4 -- Simple math, indeed.  Thanks for the skill.  I learned it.  Balmador
learned nothing. -- Adabemis

Pendru Rost -- So much for my winning record, thanks for the skills, etc. etc. --
Philthry

Alyicius -- Gar.  I hate jaw hits. -- Pelis the True
