I really, really should have challenged someone. As far down as I could go, so somebody else would have a chance to take the title. As I said last turn, I have nothing to say. I'll say it again this turn. Mark fought well, and I heard the Commission scorekeeper telling him he had improved something or other. Congratulations on that, Mark. These days, our arena is so underpopulated that the town where it was built, Willow Beach, has reverted to its old character of a sleepy fishing village. Well, maybe not sleepy, since the fish around here will jump out of the water, or sometimes grab you with tentacles, to get a bite of you. What this means is that the fisherman around here are really brave and adventurous, and the arena probably looks pretty tame to them. We're in training to defend Alastari from the chaos hordes, though, so I guess it doesn't really matter whether the spectators think we're thrilling. Except I do kind of miss the cheering. 'nuff said. See you later. Crysoprase REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hello, people of Darkholm And I use that term with a lot of... grr! What is the dashed thing called? You know! People say it when they want to be... all right, what's that other word? *after a cup of hot and bitter beverage* I speak to you from the depths of a morning head, is what. There's a little fellow inside my skull waving a sledgehammer about, and you don't want to know what my mouth tastes like. *I* don't want to know what my mouth tastes like. Could I actually have eaten... no, no, if I think about that... *urp* So there was a tourney. We could say that the tournament is responsible for the very poor turnout at our arena today, but we all know that is only partly true. In any case, there were fifteen fights, nine of them involving stand-ins. Unless I've miscounted, which is not at all unlikely. No one challenged or avoided, no one died, and even the stand-ins declined to be listed under the names of any of the active teams. Since there aren't a lot of fights, I might as well say something about each one, eh? CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (134-141-3,263) of ILLFANG PACT fought ZAKAU (5-4623) (57- 61-0,212) of JOHNS. CRYSOPRASE devastated ZAKAU in an action packed 1 minute mismatched Title fight. The lovely half-elven maid remains our top Parry-Striker and our Keeper of the Runeblade. Zakau is our top Lunger. LENNON (5-4087) (44-42-2,192) of JOHNS fought FATALITY (7-5820) (28-13-0,177) of BRUTAL LEGION. LENNON demolished FATALITY in a popular 1 minute one-sided melee. Lennon is our highest-ranked Slasher, while Fatality is our best Striker. MIKEL (6-6190) (43-41-3,189) of THE LADY'S LIST fought TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42- 1620) (134-147-0,204) of HIGHLANDERS. MIKEL lost to TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a crowd pleasing 2 minute gory brawl. Ms. Deepheart is our top Wall of Steel, as well as the Overall Popularity Leader. MARK (5-4088) (65-152-3,196) of JOHNS fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-25)(0-0-0,181) of ARENA STAND-INS. MARK savagely defeated SHEWISH GIANT in a crowd pleasing 4 minute bloody match. Mark is our top Parry-Lunger, a popular style these days, also this turn's favorite. And well done against the Shew, who is fairly tough. CLIVE (6-5215) (52-50-5,174) of THE LADY'S LIST fought CAPTURED CUTPURSE (104-6) (0-0-0,130) of ARENA STAND-INS. CLIVE viciously subdued CAPTURED CUTPURSE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute brutal fight. MEN WORKING (38-4189) (76-238-1,167) of JUST BECAUSE fought ZEUS (62-4010) (33- 10-0,149) of LEGION OF LEGEND. MEN WORKING viciously subdued ZEUS in a popular 3 minute gruesome competition.

JUSTIN savagely defeated ANGRY BOOKIE in an exciting 2 minute gruesome fight. PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (39-55-0,139) of HIGHLANDERS fought HOFFA (5-4299) (23- 84-0,109) of JOHNS. PELIS THE TRUE overpowered HOFFA in a 1 minute one-sided fight. SATCHEL (6-6215) (48-42-2,139) of THE LADY'S LIST fought KHALHUMS DWARF (104-10) (0-0-0,150) of ARENA STAND-INS.

Oh, well. Good try. -- Crysoprase Lennon -- It was my experience, I guess. Though I am but an innocent virgin, I have seen a great deal more action than you in the arena. -- Tolais Deepheart Hoffa 5-4299 -- You're a golem? And sexless? Then your manager has done you a much worse turn than I did by defeating you. -- Pelis the True Aloycius -- That was painful. And there went my winning record.
