Not only did I defend the honor of Darkholm by gaining Tournament Victor status at Grand Tournament LVIII in the ADM classification but several of my stable mates also competed and brought honor to we few. Congratulations to my long time friend and stablemate since our days on Niytyole Island! Glamdring, you sure did us all proud! Finishing 5th in the Freshman class is quite impressive, especially considering that your nine win performance is at least twice as many wins as you've been able to manage before. And Digitalis! I know we never shared the sand together in our home stable but I am very proud of you, my Sister of the Hall! Your six wins, while not earning you Tournament Victor status like Glamdring and me, are still quite impressive! Huzzah! I know that a few of my new stablemates here in Darkholm also attended the Grand Tournament. Aelfwine and Wardra, keep trying. You will improve. Maybe someday you will be as successful as me! Speaking of success. I think it is about time to retire from the gladiatorial games. I long to return to my true form and sail through the skies. Perhaps eat an entire bovine or two. Of course Darkheart won't let me just stop fighting with my record in this condition. Perhaps four or five more wins will do it. Then I can leave this beautiful blade in the hands of one of my stablemates. -- Wyvern Tournament Victor Lord Protector REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Everyone! Hello and a big hug! We have 12 fights today, more than usual, including two TV challenges, and also an excellent column from the Keeper of the Runeblade. And I congratulate Wyvern's manager -- Darkheart, is it? -- for a triumphant tourney. WYVERN (33-2457) (42-45-0,229) of OBSIDIAN HALL TV challenged ZEUS (62-4010) (74- 59-0,222) of LEGION OF LEGEND. WYVERN viciously subdued ZEUS in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Challenge Title fight. This means that our highly literate top Basher is also the ongoing Keeper of the Runeblade. And Zeus is the top Wall of Steel, too. GLAMDRING (33-2328) (55-42-1,202) of OBSIDIAN HALL TV challenged ASSUR (18-7821) (101-144-2,208) of ARROGANCE. GLAMDRING was savagely defeated by ASSUR in an exciting 3 minute gory Challenge melee. Glamdring is of course our top Total Parry, while Assur is not currently a stylemaster although he has been in the past, and he was voted this turn's favorite. MIKEL (6-6190) (82-92-3,192) of THE LADY'S LIST fought DIGITALIS (33-6862) (35- 41-1,175) of OBSIDIAN HALL. MIKEL lost to DIGITALIS in a 2 minute brawl. Top Slasher, top PR. WARDRA (82-56471) (25-9-1,191) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought SHEWISH GIANT (104-25) (0-0-0,181) of . WARDRA was devastated by SHEWISH GIANT in an exciting 1 minute one- sided fight. Wardra is top Lunger. Ouch. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (82-78-0,182) of HIGHLANDERS fought MAN-MOUNTAIN (7-3853) (36- 41-1,163) of WASTELAND II. PHILTHRY viciously subdued MAN-MOUNTAIN in an action packed 1 minute gory brawl. Philthry is the top Parry-Strike. PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (69-115-1,151) of HIGHLANDERS fought FATALITY (7-5820) (58-73-0,125) of BRUTAL LEGION. PELIS THE TRUE devastated FATALITY in a crowd pleasing 1 minute gory mismatched match. Fatality is our top Striker, and Pelis the True is overall popularity leader. BRUNHYLDA (33-8082) (27-17-1,78) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought ASSASSIN (96-1802) (26- 17-4,78) of BLOODY LEGION. BRUNHYLDA was handily defeated by ASSASSIN in a 2 minute uneven melee. Assassin is Darkholm's best, probably only, Aimed Blow. PAC-MAN (21-8191) (26-23-1,69) of DEAD LEGENDS fought BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (9-8-1,57) of SPECTRAL STEEL. PAC-MAN was viciously subdued by BATTLE BANSHEE in a popular 2 minute gruesome duel. CROW HELM (82-56829) (17-5-0,17) of CRESCENT SHIELD fought DRUNKEN FISHERMAN (104-1) (20-20-0,50) of . CROW HELM won victory over DRUNKEN FISHERMAN in a 2 minute fight. AELFWINE (82-23244) (14-5-0,70) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought DEBBY TONTE (104-2) (20-30-0,30) of . AELFWINE was narrowly defeated by DEBBY TONTE in a 2 minute match. SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (15-10-0,37) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104- 3) (0-0-0,0) of . SIR LUCAN slimly won victory over COCKY SPECTATOR in a popular 2 minute bout. SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (16-6-2,88) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought INKEEPER'S SON (104-4) (15-15-0,40) of . SIR YVAIN was demolished by INKEEPER'S SON in a 2 minute mismatched match.
