THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade Hello, my... handful of fellow Darkholmers. I fought Mikel, who was at a very grievous experience disadvantage. Which is practically a foregone conclusion, given that I've stayed in this arena for... I don't even know how many years. Maybe I really should retire... On the other hand, wouldn't that mean there would be no challenges here, no mountains to climb? After all, Mikel did learn a skill in that fight. Just one, but perhaps next time he'll learn three or four. I'll stick around for a bit. Crysoprase REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo, beach-dwellers! Tsk tsk. Fifteen fights, nine of them involving stand-in fighters. No challenges, no avoids. Hoffa 5-4348 was both popular and unpopular. Eight individuals, or more than one-third of our participating fighters, were stylemasters. In our title fight, CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (136-141-3,285) of ILLFANG PACT fought MIKEL (6-6190) (43-43-3,183) of THE LADY'S LIST. CRYSOPRASE bested MIKEL in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Title fight. She is still our top Parry-Striker. TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (136-147-0,216) of HIGHLANDERS fought MARK (5-4088) (66-153-3,210) of JOHNS. TOLAIS DEEPHEART was vanquished by MARK in an exciting 2 minute gory uneven battle. Mark is top Parry-Lunger, while Ms. Deepheart is our best Wall of Steel.

Fatality is our top Striker. ZAKAU (5-4623) (57-63-0,194) of JOHNS fought BLIND BEGGAR (104-26) (40-35-0,200) of Standbys. ZAKAU savagely defeated BLIND BEGGAR in an exciting 3 minute bloody fight. Zakau is our highest-rated Lunger. LENNON (5-4087) (45-43-2,180) of JOHNS fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (41-55- 0,166) of HIGHLANDERS. LENNON devastated PELIS THE TRUE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided duel. Lennon is top Slasher, and Pelis the True is top Basher.

HOFFA (5-4299) (23-86-0,110) of JOHNS fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0-0-0,110) of Standbys. HOFFA was demolished by M. CHARDINEE in a 2 minute mismatched match. 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (56-160-1,100) of JUST BECAUSE fought OLD SAILMAKER (104-7) (0-0-0,110) of Standbys. 2 + 2 = 4 viciously subdued OLD SAILMAKER in a 3 minute brutal contest. The equation is our best-rated Total Parry. ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (29-57-2,100) of THE LADY'S LIST fought INKEEPER'S SON (104- 4) (15-15-0,40) of Standbys.

HOFFA was savagely defeated by DEBBY TONTE in a popular 2 minute bloody duel. Not much to say, was it? I'm sorry. This arena appears to be at a low ebb. I hope to see more fighters here, come the autumn, when attending the arena isn't like exercising in a furnace. Until next time, cheerio!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Damn straight we went eight-oh, and do we get a bonus from the boss? No! A kind word in passing from Prince Malic, a prince among spy reporters, but from our boss? Nothing! Not even a "well done." -- Ferd the Annoyed Tower Mark -- If you're so hot, trying wearing cooler armor. Chainmail, maybe, the breeze can blow right through it. -- Ferd the Tower Zakau -- Impetuous and presumptuous and RUDE. You lungers are all alike. -- Solacia, not easy any way at all Justin -- Actually, you were voted favorite to settle a bet. -- Angry Bookie Clive -- I kept waiting for you to do something clever, but there's a limit to my patience. -- Shadowmane Zane Grey and Aloyicius -- I fought TWICE (prejudice against the Chardinee Society), and still neither of you could win? What were you THINKING before the fight? Not thoughts of victory, that's for sure. -- M. Chardinee Hoffa -- Thank you for not messing up my hair. -- Desiree 2 + 2 = 4 -- No, it does NOT equal four, it equals four point oh three. Everything expands in the summer. -- Khalhums Dwarf Hoffa -- Ha ha ha ha! -- Cocky Spectator Mikel -- Sorry for those dangerous hits. If I can persuade my manager to let me attack some other location, I will. -- Crysoprase Men Working -- Bad style match for you. Of course, so is everything, really. -- Tolais Deepheart Satchel -- Well, I didn't expect to win that one! -- Pelis the True Hoffy 5-4348 -- Good grief! And there went my very tenuous winning record. -- Philthry P.S. Yes, I'm an orc. Yes, we're not supposed to know words like "tenuous." But I'm tired of faking ignorance.
