REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hullo!
The fighting was good this turn, as fighting goes, rather painful for some of
those involved, of course. The fights were interesting to watch, at least... but
there were so few of them. I wonder if our arena is going to be disbanded. I've
heard that there is some interest in roofing over the center and using the fight ring
and bleachers as a grain silo. Sometimes I wonder if that's why the arena was built
so high and steep, to make it possible to convert it to another use. However,
farming certainly isn't a big industry around here, and I certainly can't see a
promising future for the arena as wool silo, nor as a fish silo... Maybe it can be
used to store grain imported from the mainland? Ah, that might work.
At any rate, there were only nine fights. Three of them featured stand-ins, but
luckily this time we didn't see the controversial Mr Tower or Mr. Cholera.
TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (158-158-0,218) of HIGHLANDERS fought BLIND BEGGAR
(104-26) (40-35-0,200) of The Invincibles. TOLAIS DEEPHEART bested BLIND BEGGAR in a
crowd pleasing 1 minute Title fight. Ms Deepheart is our top-rated Wall of Steel,
and, in the absence of King of Darkholm, she is also our Keeper of the Runeblade.
ZAKAU (5-4623) (74-79-0,201) of JOHNS fought NO LIMIT HOLD-EM (42-2887) (34-20-
2,185) of DEALER'S CHOICE. ZAKAU vanquished NO LIMIT HOLD-EM in an exciting 1 minute
gory uneven battle. In addition to being the top Lunger, Zakau is our overall
popularity leader, taking that title away from Ms Deepheart.
PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (54-75-1,190) of HIGHLANDERS fought LAUGHING BARMAID
(104-9) (0-0-0,170) of The Invincibles. PELIS THE TRUE was vanquished by LAUGHING
BARMAID in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. Mr. True is the top-ranked Basher, an easy
style indeed for a laughing barmaid to defeat. I've seen it many times.
STRAP ON (10-5254) (34-23-1,198) of THE MENTORS' TOY BOX fought ADOLPH EICHMANN
(84-37835) (32-25-0,157) of MY MAIN MEN. STRAP ON overpowered ADOLPH EICHMANN in a
crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched match. Mr. On is our best Slasher.
BORF (84-37868) (28-29-0,180) of A PROPER SALUTE fought BONHAM (21-7738) (23-15-
1,127) of MASTERS OF MELODY. BORF won victory over BONHAM in an crowd pleasing 1
minute brutal fight. Borf is top Parry-Lunger, while Bonham is our premier, and
only, Aimed Blow.
ZEUS (62-4010) (50-28-0,148) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought CAPTURED CUTPURSE (104-
6) (0-0-0,130) of The Invincibles. ZEUS outwaited CAPTURED CUTPURSE in a popular 8
minute gruesome competition.
PHILTHRY (42-2079) (59-46-0,150) of HIGHLANDERS fought MIKEL (6-6190) (55-64-
3,148) of THE LADY'S LIST. PHILTHRY lost to MIKEL in an action packed 3 minute duel.
Neither of these fighters is a stylemaster. How strange!
FATALITY (7-5820) (41-35-0,133) of BRUTAL LEGION fought OMAHA (42-4796) (21-10-
1,98) of DEALER'S CHOICE. FATALITY vanquished OMAHA in a 1 minute uneven fight.
Fatality is top Striker.
HILLARY (10-6261) (19-17-0,75) of THE MENTORS fought KODICROME (84-37861) (16-
12-1,62) of IN THE LONG RUN. HILLARY was viciously subdued by KODICROME in a popular
3 minute brutal fight.
That, I'm afraid, is all there is to say. I hope you all have a pleasant, if
chilly, fortnight. Be back for the big feast in two weeks, eh?

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Malic and Editor -- In my case, it has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the
arena. Heck, I like small arenas...nice and cozy! Not what I'm talking about AT
ALL! If I have to fight extras because the arena is small...I really don't mind.
What I'm complaining about *specifically* is extras that are impossible to beat. The
answer is incredibly simple: either have those extras removed from the games, or
perhaps "maim" them in such a way that their overall abilities are at a more
reasonable level. Case in point: L'il Red. TC'd ADM; went 7-3 Eligibles; went 6-3
Eligibles; won every fight in Darkholm...except...two losses to extras. She has been
run off due to fear of running into Dirk Cholera again...or worse yet...perhaps that
Ferd fellow. That's just ridiculous. Li'l Red WOULD have been active this turn if
the extras had been removed; that is a fact! -- Alfredo
Mr. Frothingslosh -- I am sorry. But I have little influence with the Lady,
most likely because I am not very knowledgeable about gladiatorial strategies.
Whether your complaint has merit or not, I really don't know, but my opinion is
not important. I know that the issue makes you unhappy, and I sympathize, but
it is the Lady, and she alone, who decides whether Ferd the Tower and Dirk
Cholera will continue to serve in the arena or not. I wish you luck. -- Malic
Strap On -- Meh. Talent wins out in the end, I guess. -- Pelis the True
Borf -- Thanks to you, I have an even record again. That wasn't a very good matchup
for you. -- Tolais Deepheart
Bonham -- Blows to a joint are always painful, aren't they? Hope you feel better by
now. -- Philthry
