And it's off to work we go! There were twelve fights today, no deaths, no avoids, two stand-in fighters, and four challenges! Well done! WARDRA (82-56471) (30-11-1,212) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN challenged ASSUR (18-7821) (106-146-2,222) of ARROGANCE. WARDRA bested ASSUR in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge Title fight. As we know, Wardra is still the Keeper of the Runeblade, still the top Lunger, and still not writing a column. SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (19-7-2,114) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS challenged PHILTHRY (42- 2079) (85-82-0,141) of HIGHLANDERS. SIR YVAIN was vanquished by PHILTHRY in an exciting 1 minute uneven Challenge battle. That was to be expected, I should think. I hope that Sir Yvain learned a great deal. And Philthry is our most recognized Parry-Strike. BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (13-8-2,107) of SPECTRAL STEEL challenged ASSASSIN (96- 1802) (31-19-4,142) of BLOODY LEGION. BATTLE BANSHEE was luckily beaten by ASSASSIN in a 2 minute Challenge duel. Of course, Assassin is still our most able Aimed Blow. Is he our only aimed Blow? I'm not sure. Does anyone know? WINNING SIDE (6-4276) (16-11-1,27) of OINGO BOINGO challenged KYLROI (40-4534) (24-6-0,62) of GRIZZLED VETERANS. WINNING SIDE was devastated by KYLROI in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge contest. Winning Side makes challenges and writes personal ads, which are praiseworthy acts in my view. Well done! ZEUS (62-4010) (78-62-0,190) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought DIGITALIS (33-6862) (38- 45-1,195) of OBSIDIAN HALL. ZEUS savagely defeated DIGITALIS in a crowd pleasing 8 minute gruesome competition. Zeus is our top Wall of Steel and he was also voted this turn's favorite fighter. Of course, Digitalis is our top Parry-Riposte, and, I was surprised to learn from one of the personal ads today, a lady. One can't really tell, you know, with the armor. MIKEL (6-6190) (85-96-3,201) of THE LADY'S LIST fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (73-118-1,174) of HIGHLANDERS. MIKEL was overpowered by PELIS THE TRUE in a 1 minute one-sided struggle. Mikel is our premier Slasher, while Pelis the True is overall popularity leader. WYVERN (33-2457) (45-47-0,198) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought FATALITY (7-5820) (59-79- 0,164) of BRUTAL LEGION. WYVERN handily defeated FATALITY in an action packed 1 minute uneven fight. Fatality is our highest ranked Striker. GLAMDRING (33-2328) (58-46-1,199) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought SOLACIA (104-24) (68- 32-0,225) of . GLAMDRING was viciously subdued by SOLACIA in an action packed 6 minute gory duel. Glamdring is our best Total Parry, but the sinister Solacia managed to outlast him. AAGRIVATOR (33-8248) (37-15-0,109) of DEMONSPAWN fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0- 0-0,110) of . AAGRIVATOR unbelievably bested M. CHARDINEE in a popular 10 minute gory duel. M. Chardinee is, of course, a very dangerous representative of the Parry- Riposte style, but he was no match for Aagrivator. CROW HELM (82-56829) (22-7-0,55) of CRESCENT SHIELD fought STREET RACER (62-4751) (19-11-0,59) of PUBLIC NUISANCES. CROW HELM overpowered STREET RACER in a 1 minute one-sided melee. AELFWINE (82-23244) (19-7-0,90) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought LEONARD (21-8061) (14- 5-1,48) of BIG BANG THEORY. AELFWINE defeated LEONARD in an exciting 1 minute match. SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (18-14-0,48) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought PAC-MAN (21-8191) (29-27-1,71) of DEAD LEGENDS. SIR LUCAN was devastated by PAC-MAN in an exciting 1 minute mismatched conflict. Those were all the fights. If there's anything else you would like me to talk about, just say.
