Hi everyone,

I don't know if I'll be fighting in Darkholm again, since I was drafted to Primus.  
I'll probably be gone, heading south in search of adventure.  Because I would do very 
poorly in Primus, you know.  That's for the genius fighters with lightning reflexes.  
Me, I'm just a fairly tough orc-woman.  Too much to hope, I guess, that I could have 
been inducted to Home Guard.  But oh well.  It was a pleasure fighting in Darkholm and 
sort of knowing you all.  Not that any of you talks much.

Anyway -- fare well!

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo!

Malic here, of course... and so are the rest of you, finally!  It's certainly been a 
while.

It was a swift and rather upbeat turn.  There were six fights, three of which involved 
stand-ins.  Amazingly, two stand-ins were beaten by actual gladiators.

TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (184-169-0,296) of HIGHLANDERS fought ASSUR (18-7821) (89-
138-2,189) of ARROGANCE.  TOLAIS DEEPHEART devastated ASSUR in an action packed 1 
minute mismatched Title fight.  Ms Deepheart is still here, despite her conviction 
that she's been inducted.  Maybe she imagined it?  Anyway, she is top Wall of Steel 
while Assur is our top Basher.

MIKEL (6-6190) (73-83-3,182) of THE LADY'S LIST fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (74-68-
0,175) of HIGHLANDERS.  MIKEL demolished PHILTHRY in a 1 minute one-sided melee.  As 
always, Mikel is top Slasher.  Philthry is top Parry-Strike.  The parry-somethings 
never seem to fight quite as well as the more emphatic styles, do they?

ZEUS (62-4010) (63-52-0,185) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought BLIND BEGGAR (104-26) (40-35-
0,200) of  .  ZEUS was overpowered by BLIND BEGGAR in a crowd pleasing 1 minute 
mismatched duel.  It was a bad day for Zeus.

FATALITY (7-5820) (54-59-0,178) of BRUTAL LEGION fought MAN-MOUNTAIN (7-3853) (31-28-
1,139) of WASTELAND II.  FATALITY was overpowered by MAN-MOUNTAIN in a crowd pleasing 
1 minute one-sided fight.  Fatality is top Striker.

PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (62-104-1,144) of HIGHLANDERS fought LAUGHING BARMAID (104-9) 
(0-0-0,170) of  .  PELIS THE TRUE won victory over LAUGHING BARMAID in a crowd 
pleasing 1 minute fight.  Mr. True is the overall popularity leader and also this 
turn's favorite, which isn't so surprising since we have all been laughed at by that 
barmaid.  She is a mean girl.

ASSASSIN (96-1802) (14-11-4,46) of BLOODY LEGION fought DEBBY TONTE (104-2) (20-30-
0,30) of  .  ASSASSIN overpowered DEBBY TONTE in a 1 minute mismatched brawl.  
Assassin is our top Aimed Blow.  Four kills!

Well... as I said, a short fight day.  That's all.  I'm involved in another sort of 
competition today, making book on the games at a church social.  The three-legged race 
looks like it may be exciting.

Cheerio!
