I don't know that I've got anything to say about the fights or the arena. Oh-- they need to get some fresh air and disinfectant down there in the ladies' showers. It's moldy. Other than that... I've begun a garden. I still have more things to plant in the next few weeks, but this will be exciting: Many kinds of fruit trees, chestnut trees, tart grapes, sweet black raspberries, rhubarb, sweet potatoes, onions, blue corn (yes, blue! It's more nutritious.), gourds, thimbleberries, black hollyhocks (they're actually a deep purple color and they are gorgeous!), and a bunch of other flowers that the nursery threw in for good measure. I look forward to seeing these things grow. I don't so much look forward to weeding them... but as they say: No pain, no gain. So I'll weed. At the moment, our guildhouse is full of little things getting started in pots. By the time we meet again, it'll be time to get some of those babies in the ground. I really don't have a significantly green thumb, so... wish me luck. With best wishes, Tolais Deepheart REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! It's me again, Malic. This is a ghost town! Except, of course, for the fishermen and their families who have always been here. But there are only three guildhouses still occupied. I walk down the street where all the guilds once built, most of the great mansions are in disrepair, and it makes me sad. There were no challenges, no avoids, but two deaths. That's sad, too. Well, let's take a look at the fights. TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (146-153-0,205) of HIGHLANDERS fought MARK (5-4088) (75-160-3,211) of JOHNS. TOLAIS DEEPHEART devastated MARK in a 2 minute gruesome mismatched Title fight. At least Ms. Deepheart didn't fight a stand-in, eh? I look forward to hearing more about her garden next turn. She is our top-rated Wall of Steel, while Mark, despite losing, is our best Parry-Lunge. SATCHEL (6-6215) (56-52-2,181) of THE LADY'S LIST fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-25) (0-0-0,181) of The Invincibles. SATCHEL savagely defeated SHEWISH GIANT in an exciting 1 minute gory melee. Defeating the Shew, that takes some power! FATALITY (7-5820) (37-22-0,192) of BRUTAL LEGION fought CLIVE (6-5215) (58-62- 5,181) of THE LADY'S LIST. FATALITY was vanquished by CLIVE in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. MEN WORKING (38-4189) (84-248-1,204) of JUST BECAUSE fought LOCAL CONSTABLE (104-22) (0-0-0,181) of The Invincibles. MEN WORKING overpowered LOCAL CONSTABLE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute one-sided fight. Mr. Working is our top-ranked Basher and Overall Popularity Leader. Well done! ZAKAU (5-4623) (67-69-0,188) of JOHNS fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-25) (0-0-0,181) of The Invincibles. ZAKAU viciously subdued SHEWISH GIANT in a crowd pleasing 3 minute brutal fight. Zakau is our top Lunger, but you have to remember that the Shewish Giant had already been softened up by Satchel. LENNON (5-4087) (52-52-2,174) of JOHNS fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (46-66- 0,167) of HIGHLANDERS. LENNON butchered PELIS THE TRUE in a 1 minute gruesome one- sided competition. This was, of course, one of our two deaths. Lennon is our top- ranked Slasher. HOFFA (5-4299) (25-100-0,151) of JOHNS fought LOCAL CONSTABLE (104-22) (0-0- 0,181) of The Invincibles. HOFFA was vanquished by LOCAL CONSTABLE in an action packed 1 minute uneven duel. Hmm. Nothing to see here, move along. GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (96-172-2,160) of JUST BECAUSE fought OLD SAILMAKER (104- 7) (0-0-0,110) of The Invincibles. GAR & BRILL was narrowly defeated by OLD SAILMAKER in an action packed 3 minute duel. ZANE GREY (21-4810) (54-89-2,174) of AUTHORS fought CAPTURED CUTPURSE (104-6) (0-0-0,130) of The Invincibles. ZANE GREY defeated CAPTURED CUTPURSE in an action packed 2 minute match. Mr. Grey is our highest ranked Striker. ZEUS (62-4010) (43-18-0,152) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (58- 174-1,125) of JUST BECAUSE. ZEUS savagely defeated 2 + 2 = 4 in an exciting 6 minute brutal fight. Ah, Zeus is no stylemaster this turn, but our little equation is best Total Parry. Here's our second death of the day. MIKEL (6-6190) (46-56-3,121) of THE LADY'S LIST fought DESIREE (104-23) (20-15-4,150) of The Invincibles. MIKEL was butchered by DESIREE in an exciting 1 minute brutal mismatched conflict. JUSTIN (6-6179) (40-65-3,117) of THE LADY'S LIST fought CAPTURED CUTPURSE (104- 6) (0-0-0,130) of The Invincibles. JUSTIN viciously subdued CAPTURED CUTPURSE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute bloody bout. Nothing to see. BONHAM (21-7738) (15-9-1,55) of MASTERS OF MELODY fought HOFFA (5-4348) (27-163- 0,59) of JOHNS. BONHAM overpowered HOFFA in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided duel. Well! Bonham is our top-rated Aimed Blow, and Hoffa was voted this turn's least favorite. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (46-42-0,79) of HIGHLANDERS fought HOFFA (5-4622) (44-92- 0,15) of JOHNS. PHILTHRY won victory over HOFFA in an exciting 3 minute bloody fray. Philthry is our top-ranked Parry-Striker and was voted this turn's favorite fighter. Well done! ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (33-69-2,43) of THE LADY'S LIST fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104- 3) (0-0-0,0) of The Invincibles. ALOYICIUS devastated COCKY SPECTATOR in an exciting 1 minute brutal one-sided brawl. It's good that a gladiator defeated an untrained civilian, but that's about all there is to see here. And all there is to say, as well. So until next time, I bid you all good day and happy gardening!

And I... soon I'll have an even record. 146-153-0 isn't that far off. *sigh* I'm not sure I belong here anymore. -- Tolais Deepheart Mark -- Don't forget to change your train. One thing I can be glad of is that I'll never have to write a column. Or be inducted to Primus. The downside is, I get beaten up every two weeks. Darn. -- Pelis the True Hoffa 5-4348 -- I guess you're not the dangerous Hoffa. Anyway, thanks for teaching me that riposte technique. -- Philthry LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS TOLAIS DEEPHEART devastated MARK in a 2 minute gruesome mismatched Title fight.
