(turn 261): TOO SHORT of BASH BROS HAIR CUT (Assurnasirbanipal) THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade Two weeks have passed, and I hardly noticed, because we had ANOTHER Grand Champion rainstorm, and the roof of the guildhouse leaked WORSE. And I must say that it is carrying the "magical environment" TOO FAR when it rains--and leaks--Lake Monsters. Can nothing be done about this? A good effort, Slayer II, with a little more work, you may be able to take me off this uncomfortable spot. Elayron P.S. Although I tried to tell Jorja that it would be in line with our treaty with the Nightlings that, if they did not do a column in Free Blades, I should not have to do one here, she wasn't listening. And now that they've lost the title there, the argument won't fly next time, if I still have this one. Life is hard. REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Good morning! 'Tis the merry merry month of May! Finally. Was it just me, or was it an extra long winter? Global cooling, anyone? Ah, the joys of small town living. Here in Willow Beach, there were no challenges, no avoids, and, I am pleased to report, no deaths. With the brilliant sunshine and balmy air, it was a pleasant day. Pleasant enough to put one to sleep. *stifles a yawn* ELAYRON (51-1492) (100-64-0,260) of BLOOD + ORANGES fought TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42- 1620) (132-144-0,219) of HIGHLANDERS. ELAYRON bested TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a crowd pleasing 2 minute gruesome Title fight. Crowd pleasing? Personally, I don't like to see women get hacked up. Or men either. Or children, or animals. Unless the animals are saber-toothed tigers that are attacking pregnant nuns, or something. At least the lovely Ms. Deepheart is neither pregnant (I assume) or a nun. And she is our top Wall of Steel as well. Anyway, Elayron is still our top Parry-Lunger as well as being our Keeper of the Runeblade. Although he leaves it in the Commission's vault instead of carrying it around. Our highest-ranked Parry-Striker is Crysoprase, same as last time. CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (129-141-3,198) of ILLFANG PACT fought GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (87-158-1,166) of JUST BECAUSE. CRYSOPRASE vanquished GAR & BRILL in a 1 minute mismatched fight. Oddly, Crysoprase is our Overall Popularity Leader as well, which surprises me because you never see her at parties. Top Parry-Riposte is Jammy Larke. Again, same as last time. He seems to be the only P-R in the arena. JAMMY LARKE (5-4926) (58-40-0,186) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought MARK (5-4088) (63-149-3,198) of JOHNS. JAMMY LARKE slimly won victory over MARK in a crowd pleasing 3 minute gory brawl. The very impressive Tashi'Sindar is our top-ranked Lunger. TASHI'SINDAR (1- 3249) (86-64-3,191) of STORM RIDERS II fought MIKEL (6-6190) (41-38-3,156) of THE LADY'S LIST. TASHI'SINDAR overpowered MIKEL in a crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched match. Meh, that was a poor match, but then, if you want an advantageous match it's your responsibility to challenge, isn't it? Our best Total Parry is HIKARAN DAAL (1-2070) (88-98-1,198) of STORM RIDERS fought ZAKAU (5-4623) (53-60-0,176) of JOHNS. HIKARAN DAAL was subdued by ZAKAU in an exciting 3 minute gory melee. Not too scummy, eh? Clive is still our top Slasher. CLIVE (6-5215) (50-47-5,176) of THE LADY'S LIST fought FATALITY (7-5820) (25-11-0,121) of BRUTAL LEGION. CLIVE overpowered FATALITY in a popular 1 minute uneven match. Uneven it was! Our top-ranked Striker fought a stand-in. ZANE GREY (21-4810) (45-75-2,165) of AUTHORS fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0-0-0,110) of THE LADY'S LIST. ZANE GREY won victory over M. CHARDINEE in an action packed 4 minute gory duel. Last... and perhaps least, the top-ranked Basher in Darkholm is still Men Working. MEN WORKING (38-4189) (72-237-1,180) of JUST BECAUSE fought HELENE JUSTE (5-4875) (35-56-1,126) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. MEN WORKING was defeated by HELENE JUSTE in an action packed 1 minute melee. Lazy fellow. Speaking of exhaustingly defensive fighters, I cast a gimlet eye upon Zeus. ZEUS (62-4010) (29-9-0,100) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (25-54- 2,60) of THE LADY'S LIST. ZEUS slimly won victory over ALOYICIUS in an exciting 4 minute contest. Aloyicius was voted this turn's favorite, I wonder why! I've said little, and shall stop before I say too much. Until we meet again, cheerio!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Men Working? That's a joke. -- Hikaran Daal Gar & Brill -- Amazing what a person can do by staying sober, isn't it? You should try it sometime. -- Jammy Larke Hmm, we went four-four. It was like... a seesaw, win one, lose one, all the way down the list of our fights. Not bad, really, kept the tension up. -- Tashi'sindar Jammy Larke -- I like your style. I would have tried that one, but I'm a bit hamhanded. -- Tolais Deepheart Tashi'Sindar -- Hot damn! That was a great fight, wasn't it? -- Crysoprase Pendru Rost -- Sorry for all the rude comments. I try to conduct myself with more taste, but I got a bit too excited. -- Pelis the True 2 + 2 = 4 -- Apparently our retirement papers haven't gone through yet, but if we have to fight, you're the one we like to fight. -- Balmador Hoffa 5-4622 -- That was surprising. I don't know when I've been in a fight where the spectators screamed their approval. And they liked both of us!
