In case anyone doesn't know, there's a poker game at Mikel's place on Friday. It starts about 4 pm and it's potluck, so bring a dish. -- Tolais Deepheart, Keeper of the Runeblade REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! The other day, Snide Clemens said this to me: "What does the DARKHOLM arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place." No, it isn't. Darkholm arena isn't sittable at all, unless you bring tall a pile of cushions and a thick blanket. Even then, it's far from nappable. There aren't any inns here in Willow Beach, but there is a nice bed-and-breakfast which, I have heard, is pretty comfy. TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (182-169-0,271) of HIGHLANDERS fought FATALITY (7-5820) (54-57-0,193) of BRUTAL LEGION. TOLAIS DEEPHEART devastated FATALITY in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. Of course Ms. Deepheart is still top Wall of Steel and the Keeper of the Runeblade, and she even wrote a column-ish. I'll be there at the game, by the way. MIKEL (6-6190) (72-82-3,184) of THE LADY'S LIST fought ZEUS (62-4010) (62-51-0,178) of LEGION OF LEGEND. MIKEL was subdued by ZEUS in a 2 minute melee. So our party host has something to celebrate. *tosses confetti* He's top Slasher as well. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (72-68-0,168) of HIGHLANDERS fought MAN-MOUNTAIN (7-3853) (31-26- 1,134) of WASTELAND II. PHILTHRY subdued MAN-MOUNTAIN in an action packed 1 minute fight. Philthry is top Parry-Strike. ASSUR (18-7821) (87-138-2,172) of ARROGANCE fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (62-102- 1,149) of HIGHLANDERS. ASSUR devastated PELIS THE TRUE in a 1 minute one-sided contest. Assur, as I'm sure we all recall, is top Basher. Pelis isn't a stylemaster this turn, but he did have the distinction of being the overall popularity leader AND the least popular fighter. That's something. ASSASSIN (96-1802) (14-9-4,70) of BLOODY LEGION fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18- 0,75) of . ASSASSIN was defeated by BOOKIE'S GUARD in a crowd pleasing 2 minute match. Assassin is our highest ranked Aimed Blow, and it's a pity he lost to a stand- in. The Bookie's Guard is... hmm... rather a brute, really. I know he's chased me a few times. Luckily, I'm fast. So... that's all. Spring is almost here! I hope you all have a jolly two weeks.

It's at your house this time. -- Tolais Deepheart Zeus -- We put on a pretty good show. If only it didn't involve anyone bleeding.
