The days are getting longer again, which puts me in a better mood than I was in last time. There were six fights, which could be considered something to be depressed about. Anyway, the days really are getting longer. Doesn't feel like it today because it rained all day. That's good in a way because there was a slight wind, which means no rain made it to the arena sands, because the arena is so tall and narrow. If we even had spectators, they would have avoided the rainy side of the stands. I fought Phantasie. She's new, and has a winning record. Maybe she won't be here more than one semester, eh? With warm wishes to all, -- Tolais Deepheart REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! Season's Greetings! Malic here, of course. I was just polishing off the eggnog, which needs to be gone before the end of Boxing Day. Somehow I feel it isn't quite polite to give leftovers to the poor anyway, but in the case of eggnog it's obviously bad. So, finishing it off: nobless oblige. There were six fights, same as last time. And here they are: MAN-MOUNTAIN (7-3853) (29-23-1,100) of WASTELAND II challenged PELIS THE TRUE (42- 3469) (60-99-1,139) of HIGHLANDERS. MAN-MOUNTAIN devastated PELIS THE TRUE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. Mismatched, indeed! Man-Mountain is quite formidable and is actually not a stylemaster. Nor is Mr. True. TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (177-169-0,227) of HIGHLANDERS fought STING (10-429) (40- 32-2,198) of THE HOLY LEGION. TOLAIS DEEPHEART savagely defeated STING in an exciting 3 minute gory Title melee. Top Wall of Steel, is Ms. Deepheart. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (71-64-0,190) of HIGHLANDERS fought PHANTASIE (11-2330) (66-52- 2,193) of BLOODRIGHT. PHILTHRY was vanquished by PHANTASIE in a popular 1 minute mismatched brawl. I believe Ms. Deepheart wanted to introduce her brother Phil to the new contestant, Phantasie. Well, now they've met. Phantasie is top Lunger and Philthry is top Parry-Strike. MIKEL (6-6190) (70-79-3,177) of THE LADY'S LIST fought ZEUS (62-4010) (59-49-0,180) of LEGION OF LEGEND. MIKEL savagely defeated ZEUS in a crowd pleasing 3 minute bloody match. Mikel is our top Slasher. FATALITY (7-5820) (51-55-0,158) of BRUTAL LEGION fought ASSUR (18-7821) (85-135-2,179) of ARROGANCE. FATALITY was vanquished by ASSUR in an exciting 1 minute bloody mismatched fight. Top Basher, top Striker. KYLROI (40-4534) (19-3-0,75) of GRIZZLED VETERANS fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0- 0,0) of . KYLROI overcame COCKY SPECTATOR in an action packed 1 minute fight. Kylroi is our top Aimed Blow, and Cocky Spectator was our only stand-in this turn. Hmm. Is that all I have? *searches notes* Yes. Fare thee well, then, for another fortnight.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Malic -- Just checking in. Very cozy here, which is okay for some, but not all. FYI, Man-Mountain will be running here for a long time (until everyone is crushed beneath his fist), so at least you have that to look forward to. :) -- TMM Phantasie -- That was a verbal feint, when you hit me on the arm and I said I didn't think I could go on. Did you see how it lured you into a big old lunge. Still, that train you got will help you a lot. I wish you a joyous year's turning and good fortune in your future endeavors. Actually, if you'd like to come over for a year's end celebration, I'll introduce you to my brother. He's an orc, you know, and it's said that orcs make great dates. -- Tolais Deepheart Fatality -- Sorry about the bathtub thing. I don't know what comes over me sometimes. -- Philthry Assur -- Holy cow! How much damage do you DO with that thing? -- Pelis the True For your Yuletide bloodletting pleasure, sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland." Slay bells ring, are ya listenin'? Beneath the moon, blood is glistenin'! A grisly sight, we're happy tonight, Watchin' all the Dark Arena fights! In the daytime we can catch the action, as the Duelmaster defends his crown! All the criticals and bloody drama, and if you're nasty you can challenge down! Later on, by tavern fire, managers, they'll conspire, to face unafraid, the challenges made, Duelin' in that Alastari land! Wishing all good D2 managers a Happy Holidays! -- Stik and Grim Fandango of Sunset LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS MAN-MOUNTAIN devastated PELIS THE TRUE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
