                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo!

Malic here, as usual.  Darkholm had fourteen fights today, five of them challenges.

     NO LIMIT HOLD-EM (42-2887) (32-17-2,201) of DEALER'S CHOICE challenged JUSTIN
(6-6179) (45-72-4,203) of THE LADY'S LIST.  NO LIMIT HOLD-EM bested JUSTIN in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute Challenge fight.  Mr. Hold-Em is the top-ranked Parry-Lunge, while
Justin is our top Slasher.
     ADOLPH EICHMANN (84-37835) (29-23-0,122) of MY MAIN MEN challenged MIKEL (6-
6190) (52-62-3,139) of THE LADY'S LIST.  ADOLPH EICHMANN was viciously subdued by
MIKEL in a 2 minute Challenge battle.
     GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE (21-7642) (22-2-0,101) of TOON INN challenged FATALITY (7-
5820) (38-33-0,126) of BRUTAL LEGION.  GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE was overpowered by
FATALITY in a 1 minute Challenge duel.  Fatality is still our top-rated Striker.
     OMAHA (42-4796) (19-7-1,57) of DEALER'S CHOICE challenged HOFFA (5-4348) (30-
172-0,69) of JOHNS.  OMAHA was devastated by HOFFA in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge
fight.
     KODICROME (84-37861) (14-9-1,52) of IN THE LONG RUN challenged HOFFA (5-4622)
(45-103-0,38) of JOHNS.  KODICROME was subdued by HOFFA in a crowd pleasing 4 minute
Challenge competition.

     KING OF DARKHOLM (12-4856) (58-43-1,285) of THOSE WHO RULE fought PELIS THE TRUE
(42-3469) (53-71-1,275) of HIGHLANDERS.  KING OF DARKHOLM won victory over PELIS THE
TRUE in a 1 minute Title fight.  Retaining his title, Mr. Darkholm is also our
highest-ranked Lunger.
     BORF (84-37868) (28-24-0,219) of A PROPER SALUTE fought ZAKAU (5-4623) (72-76-
0,197) of JOHNS.  BORF was devastated by ZAKAU in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
mismatched match.
     STRAP ON (10-5254) (31-22-1,192) of THE MENTORS' TOY BOX fought LENNON (5-4087)
(57-59-3,178) of JOHNS.  STRAP ON overpowered LENNON in a 1 minute uneven melee.
     PROFESSOR GRIM (10-2613) (38-35-0,195) of THE MENTORS fought SATCHEL (6-6215)
(62-58-2,165) of THE LADY'S LIST.  PROFESSOR GRIM vanquished SATCHEL in a popular 1
minute uneven duel.
     TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (154-157-0,197) of HIGHLANDERS fought CLIVE (6-5215)
(64-68-5,189) of THE LADY'S LIST.  TOLAIS DEEPHEART vanquished CLIVE in a popular 1
minute one-sided duel.  Ms. Deepheart is our best Wall of Steel.
     ZEUS (62-4010) (48-25-0,164) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (59-
185-1,131) of JUST BECAUSE.  ZEUS outlasted 2 + 2 = 4 in a popular 7 minute melee.
Not surprisingly, the equation is still our best Total Parry.  Or maybe it is
surprising, given that 2 + 2 has three times as many losses as wins.

     HOFFA (5-4299) (28-109-0,135) of JOHNS fought BONHAM (21-7738) (21-13-1,94) of
MASTERS OF MELODY.  HOFFA was defeated by BONHAM in an exciting 1 minute match.
Bonham is our premier Aimed Blow.
     PORTERHOUSE ARREST (41-4059) (41-27-1,86) of GLAD TO MEAT YOU fought HILLARY
(10-6261) (17-15-0,75) of THE MENTORS.  PORTERHOUSE ARREST slimly won victory over
HILLARY in a 2 minute conflict.
     PHILTHRY (42-2079) (55-45-0,88) of HIGHLANDERS fought ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (37-77-
2,71) of THE LADY'S LIST.  PHILTHRY subdued ALOYICIUS in a popular 1 minute brawl.
Philthry is our top-ranked Parry-Strike.

     One of the Hoffas, but I don't know which one, was the most challenged fighter
this turn.
     That's it.  I'm not very inspired tonight.  Have a good two weeks, and I hope
you're having cooler weather.

Strap On -- I'm glad I was able to teach you a thing or two.  That was an interesting
fight. -- Pelis the True

King of Darkholm -- Hmm.  You're really elusive, or maybe you just seemed that way
after I got conked on the head a few times.  Anyway, it was an exciting fight.  And
I'm glad I don't have to write a column. -- Tolais Deepheart
