THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade
It's me again!
I fought Gar & Brill last time. He's not bad... well, for an old fart, which I
guess I am, too. This arena needs fresh blood. Everyone--please try to get a
manager you know to put fighters in Darkholm. Thanks.
Gar & Brill probably needs to speed up, I think. But I'm really not qualified
to advise, am I? I see that the only Grand Challenger Champ is Mark, so that's who
I'll be fighting this time around, if he shows up.
As you all know, I practice the Wall of Steel style. One of these days, I'll
get it right. Right now I'm training my wit, which the Commission rates at sixteen.
Toward this end I've been doing standup comedy on the weekends at the Funky
Fisherman. You're all welcome to come and hear me.
Hmm... that's all, I guess. I hope you all have a great two weeks. Did you
enjoy your big holiday? I did. Wishing you a joyous new year,
Tolais Deepheart, Keeper of the Runeblade
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hello!
Malic here, and not really hung over, because it's been a week since the
solstice. I'm not terribly hung-over at the moment. Of course there were after-
solstice parties in Talahya, but I didn't attend very many of them. Truly! Only the
obligatory cup of wassail here and there. You know how one good wassail leads to
another. I hope you all had some wassails of your own.
We had a couple of challenge fights this turn, which is always exciting!
BACKFIRE (37-1713) (31-20-0,188) of BATTLEFIELD EARTH challenged CLIVE (6-5215)
(56-58-5,194) of THE LADY'S LIST. BACKFIRE bested CLIVE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
Challenge fight. Though he lost, Clive is our highest-ranked Slasher, and Backfire
isn't anything. Sorry.
P.M.S. (2-2716) (32-35-1,123) of MY EX-WIFE challenged ZANE GREY (21-4810) (52-
85-2,173) of AUTHORS. P.M.S. vanquished ZANE GREY in an exciting 1 minute uneven
Challenge battle. Neither of these fighters is a stylemaster. However, it was an
intelligent challenge, I think, likely to result in a gain of skills.
In our Title fight, as she predicted, TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (142-151-0,214)
of HIGHLANDERS fought MARK (5-4088) (71-158-3,215) of JOHNS. TOLAIS DEEPHEART
narrowly defeated MARK in a crowd pleasing 5 minute Title duel. And so Ms. Deepheart
remains our top-rated Wall of Steel, just as Mark remains our top Parry-Lunger. Ms
Deepheart is also our Overall Popularity Leader, while Mark won the vote for This
Turn's Favorite. Well done!
FATALITY (7-5820) (35-18-0,182) of BRUTAL LEGION fought MEN WORKING (38-4189)
(81-245-1,189) of JUST BECAUSE. FATALITY was overpowered by MEN WORKING in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute one-sided fight. Men Working is our top Basher.
LENNON (5-4087) (48-50-2,181) of JOHNS fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (45-61-
0,170) of HIGHLANDERS. LENNON was vanquished by PELIS THE TRUE in a 1 minute
mismatched fight. Tsk tsk! No stylemasters here.
GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (94-168-2,180) of JUST BECAUSE fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-
25) (0-0-0,181) of STAND-INS. GAR & BRILL overpowered SHEWISH GIANT in a popular 2
minute gruesome mismatched brawl. Well done! The Shew is no pushover. Gar & Brill
is still our top Striker.
GEN. JACKSON (6-6285) (24-15-2,173) of THE VOLS fought JUSTIN (6-6179) (38-61-
3,119) of THE LADY'S LIST. GEN. JACKSON was vanquished by JUSTIN in a 1 minute
uneven duel.
SATCHEL (6-6215) (53-49-2,153) of THE LADY'S LIST fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-
0-0,200) of STAND-INS. SATCHEL was vanquished by SHADOWMANE in a 1 minute uneven
fight.
WHITEY FORD (6-1785) (54-42-5,172) of PLAY BALL fought HOFFA (5-4299) (24-95-
0,137) of JOHNS. WHITEY FORD vanquished HOFFA in an exciting 1 minute gruesome one-
sided fight.
ZAKAU (5-4623) (63-67-0,173) of JOHNS fought ZEUS (62-4010) (39-16-0,141) of
LEGION OF LEGEND. ZAKAU savagely defeated ZEUS in an exciting 2 minute brutal fight.
Zakau is top Lunger.
MIKEL (6-6190) (45-51-3,145) of THE LADY'S LIST fought DESIREE (104-23) (20-15-
4,150) of STAND-INS. MIKEL was devastated by DESIREE in a 1 minute mismatched
conflict.
2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (58-168-1,140) of JUST BECAUSE fought DESIREE (104-23) (20-
15-4,150) of STAND-INS. 2 + 2 = 4 was demolished by DESIREE in a 2 minute gory
mismatched match. This is Desiree's second win of the day. 2 + 2 is our top-ranked
Total Parry.
PHILTHRY (42-2079) (41-41-0,63) of HIGHLANDERS fought HOFFA (5-4348) (26-158-
0,76) of JOHNS. PHILTHRY handily defeated HOFFA in a 1 minute one-sided conflict.
Philthry is top Parry-Striker, and you just never know about a Hoffa.
OL SMOKEY (6-6312) (17-11-2,68) of THE VOLS fought ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (32-64-
2,41) of THE LADY'S LIST. OL SMOKEY won victory over ALOYICIUS in a crowd pleasing 4
minute bout.
HOFFA (5-4622) (44-86-0,11) of JOHNS fought INKEEPER'S SON (104-4) (15-15-0,40)
of STAND-INS. HOFFA was viciously subdued by INKEEPER'S SON in an exciting 7 minute
bloody fray. That's what we like to bet on, with a Hoffa.
This concludes my post-fight presentation. May you all have a warm and juicy two
weeks!
