                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo hullo!
 
Here we are, with autumn well underway, piles of leaves to jump in, warm spiced cider 
by the fire, the frequent toasting of marshmallows... if not my very favorite season, 
it's definitely among the top four.

Oh yes, the fights.  There were eight.  Two stand-ins fought, and they both won.  No 
one challenged, no one died, but at least fourteen of you had a nice warm-up.

E AHO LAULA (21-4224) (85-45-0,277) of WIDER IS BETTER fought ZAKAU (5-4623) (85-93-
0,215) of JOHNS.  E AHO LAULA bested ZAKAU in a 2 minute Title fight.  Needless to 
say, E is still our top Lunger, and needless to say, he failed to write anything.

ASSUR (18-7821) (83-132-2,216) of ARROGANCE fought FERD THE TOWER (104-27) (120-15-
8,280) of  .  ASSUR was devastated by FERD THE TOWER in a 1 minute one-sided duel.  
What bad luck!  It's always fun to see the inimitable Tower, though.  He puts on a 
good show.  He had multicolored plumes on his helmet.  Still, Assur is the top Basher. 

PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (60-94-1,182) of HIGHLANDERS fought STING (10-429) (36-31-
2,188) of THE HOLY LEGION.  PELIS THE TRUE was handily defeated by STING in a 1 minute 
one-sided match.  Poor Pelis!  He gets one-shotted a lot, I think.

GLAMDRING (33-2328) (46-32-1,200) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought MIKEL (6-6190) (69-75-3,167) 
of THE LADY'S LIST.  GLAMDRING won victory over MIKEL in a crowd pleasing 3 minute 
brawl.  Glamdring is our top-ranked Total Parry, which, I suppose, explains why this 
fight was the longest of the day.  But Mikel was voted this turn's favorite fighter.

TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (174-167-0,202) of HIGHLANDERS fought ZEUS (62-4010) (58-
45-0,177) of LEGION OF LEGEND.  TOLAIS DEEPHEART overpowered ZEUS in a crowd pleasing 
2 minute bloody one-sided fight.  Ms. Deepheart is both our top Wall of Steel and the 
overall popularity leader.

PHILTHRY (42-2079) (67-63-0,157) of HIGHLANDERS fought FATALITY (7-5820) (49-52-0,140) 
of BRUTAL LEGION.  PHILTHRY vanquished FATALITY in an exciting 1 minute mismatched 
fight.  Philthry is the top Parry-Strike, and Fatality is the top Striker.

DIGITALIS (33-6862) (29-30-1,164) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought CAPTURED CUTPURSE (104-6) 
(0-0-0,130) of  .  DIGITALIS was devastated by CAPTURED CUTPURSE in a 1 minute one-
sided competition.  Despite this loss, Digitalis is our highest ranked Parry-Riposte.

JHAARAN (10-2017) (20-18-1,32) of THE HOLY LEGION fought MAN-MOUNTAIN (7-3853) (26-21-
1,66) of WASTELAND II.  JHAARAN was vanquished by MAN-MOUNTAIN in an action packed 2 
minute gory uneven duel.  Neither of these fellows won any awards, but their fight was 
action packed, which is saying something.

Novgorodny Vir had this to say:  "Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself 
must needs be wasting!"  Well, I guess I won't be asking him to light the fireplace, 
eh?  He probably stands around in the cold a lot.  No marshmallows for him!

It's time for me to take my daily stroll around Willow Beach, and time for you to 
resume your regular activities.  Enjoy!
