As you might have noticed by now: I'm not Duelmaster anymore. And no...it's not that I lost. I didn't fight! In alfredo's never ending wisdom he has decided to replace me on the throne with my brother Eee Ow Lolala. Why you ask? Something about "lowering costs...focusing on 'developing' warriors," etc. If you ask me, it all sounds like a bunch of hogwash. I mean...what the hell? I thought I had been doing pretty damned good up here. Oh well...c'est la vie. Hey, Tolais honey...it's been great. I suppose I should wish you good luck fighting against OOlala for the throne next turn. He hits real hard with that pointy thing of his, so watch out. Take care everybody. Not sure when I'll be back...perhaps when alfredo hits the lottery. ;> L'il Red REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! Egad, just seven fights? I mean, I know there was a tourney and there are always some people too concussed to find the ferry back to the Isle. But still! And yet, strangely, there was but one fight with a stand-in, who actually won. E AHO LAULA (21-4224) (71-44-0,293) of WIDER IS BETTER challenged TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (162-161-0,206) of HIGHLANDERS. E AHO LAULA viciously subdued TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a 2 minute Challenge Title fight. Mr. Laula is our top-rated Lunger and Ms. Deepheart is the highest ranked Wall of Steel. And so, in the absence of Li'l Red, Mr. Laula takes over the title and the Runeblade. WYVERN (33-2457) (31-36-0,161) of OBSIDIAN HALL challenged MIKEL (6-6190) (58- 68-3,205) of THE LADY'S LIST. WYVERN vanquished MIKEL in an exciting 1 minute uneven Challenge battle. Mikel is often our top-rated Slasher, and today is no exception. GLAMDRING (33-2328) (37-23-1,178) of OBSIDIAN HALL challenged PHILTHRY (42-2079) (62-50-0,186) of HIGHLANDERS. GLAMDRING defeated PHILTHRY in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge duel. Glamdring is the top Total Parry of Darkholm, while Philthry is the highest Parry-Strike. DIGITALIS (33-6862) (25-22-1,100) of OBSIDIAN HALL challenged FATALITY (7-5820) (44-39-0,139) of BRUTAL LEGION. DIGITALIS was bested by FATALITY in a popular 2 minute Challenge fight. Digitalis is top Parry-Riposte while Fatality is our best Striker. ZAKAU (5-4623) (76-84-0,195) of JOHNS fought STING (10-429) (26-23-2,159) of THE HOLY LEGION. ZAKAU demolished STING in a action packed 1 minute gory mismatched competition. Unless I am mistaken, there were no stylemasters in this fight. Remarkable! ZEUS (62-4010) (53-32-0,137) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (55-81-1,142) of HIGHLANDERS. ZEUS slimly won victory over PELIS THE TRUE in a crowd pleasing 4 minute match. This fight, as well, featured no stylemasters. JHAARAN (10-2017) (18-10-1,74) of THE HOLY LEGION fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-0,0) of The Invincibles. JHAARAN was overcome by COCKY SPECTATOR in a 2 minute gruesome fight. The spectator was so cocky that he bet on himself before the fight, then offered to fight with one hand behind his back, although the Commission officials wouldn't allow it. Is there more to say? I think not. And so... farewell, keep warm, and I'll see you in fourteen. Perhaps a larger number of you, eh?
