REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER The magnificent sun, who was not Novgorodny Vir, rose at sunrise, banishing a good portion of the snow on the ground and raising spirits generally. Even a necromancer can't raise that many spirits that quickly and easily. Maybe they should take a clue from that? But looking at the arena news, I see that Brand, the holder of the Crysaline Helm, received eight challenges and was probably the Most Challenged Gladiator this time. The Bear's Paw was avoided, with Royal Flush being in the forefront of the avoidance. Both from the same arena originally, I note. Probably some history there. We had twenty-seven fights, which counts as respectable. Five standbys, which is not good but could be and has been worse. We'll take it. Six challenges, none of them TV. Too bad. Let's see some of those next time. The longest fight was seven minutes. Seven minutes? Ridiculous! You can do better than that. You're hardly trying. LADY CONSOLACION (28-3703) (25-38-3,67) of FILIPINA LADYZ fought RIRORNI SOLDIER (106-3) (0-0-0,30) of the College of Mimes. LADY CONSOLACION assassinated RIRORNI SOLDIER in a 1 minute gory uneven duel. Rumor has it that the unfortunate Soldier made improper suggestions. Ah. SERB SMASHER (71-1393) (15-8-2,47) of DOGS OF WAR fought GLUM (54-2766) (16-6- 1,62) of JANIX. SERB SMASHER vanquished GLUM in a 1 minute one-sided bout. Glum is a serb? This is news to the rest of us. GHOST DANCER (28-3365) (26-18-0,49) of DODGE BULLETS fought ROXANNE DE'MORRE (50-3449) (29-25-0,77) of DRUID'S GROVE. GHOST DANCER slimly won victory over ROXANNE DE'MORRE in a 2 minute bout. Perhaps G.D. will be less pessimistic next time. And then again, perhaps not. Anyone who spends his spare time dancing with ghosts has to be a little strange. AMELIA (28-3417) (22-5-1,84) of DODGE BULLETS fought PUPPY ON PATROL (71-1613) (18-9-0,63) of DOGS OF WAR. AMELIA was vanquished by PUPPY ON PATROL in a 1 minute one-sided fray. Dodging bullets is one thing, dodging an eager pup quite something else. Attack of the tongue. DESPERADO (28-1152) (24-30-1,50) of DODGE BULLETS fought LADY DOMINGA (28-3702) (21-42-0,58) of FILIPINA LADYZ. DESPERADO narrowly defeated LADY DOMINGA in an action packed 1 minute brutal match. Is this any way to treat a fellow Moryan, Desperado? FRED BEAR (47-5348) (23-12-0,124) of THE BEAR'S PAW fought SAMURAI STRIKER (71- 62) (18-15-1,100) of DOGS OF WAR. FRED BEAR overpowered SAMURAI STRIKER in a popular 1 minute uneven fight. So are we looking at someone here who strikes samurai? Or a samurai going on strike? Interesting concept. If all the warriors went on strike, would that mean no more war? BLUE BLOOD (73-3657) (23-11-1,149) of BLACK & BLUE fought TINY TIM (60-6042) (25-7-1,147) of CRAZY CREEPS. BLUE BLOOD was narrowly defeated by TINY TIM in a popular 7 minute gruesome fight. This was our longest fight. The ukulele music wasn't bad, either. LOOGIE CLAP (82-46049) (24-18-2,110) of TONGUE N CHEEK fought MOSGIEL (14-3836) (31-15-1,146) of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS. LOOGIE CLAP overcame MOSGIEL in a popular 3 minute contest. Just a bit embarrassing there, he? But these things creep up on you and give you a kick where you least expect it. BLACK FLAG (82-46046) (27-14-3,137) of TONGUE N CHEEK fought HARI-KARI (73-3049) (19-5-0,150) of WAY TO GO! II. BLACK FLAG was vanquished by HARI-KARI in an action packed 1 minute one-sided match. I'd've thought these two were a natural pair. Just shows what I know. BALDER (28-3778) (30-29-3,179) of VALHALLA fought YOUNG JOAN (28-3534) (28-24- 1,114) of DODGE BULLETS. BALDER devastated YOUNG JOAN in a 1 minute one-sided bout. Maybe it's Balder and not Joan who should be adventuring! And for those who have been making rude jokes, I name no names here, I note that Balder has a full head of hair, and not a speck of scalp showing, you can hardly see his eyebrows. Impressive. GEORGE WASHING TEN (47-2352) (69-45-0,180) of ROYAL FLUSH fought BILLY LILLY (28-3416) (27-16-1,113) of DODGE BULLETS. GEORGE WASHING TEN overpowered BILLY LILLY in a 1 minute one-sided match. Easier to dodge a bullet than a hatchet, is it, Billy? DAIRY QUEEN (47-2685) (77-45-3,196) of ROYAL FLUSH fought CRYSALIS GUARD (106- 29) (0-0-0,200) of the College of Mimes. DAIRY QUEEN narrowly defeated CRYSALIS GUARD in an exciting 4 minute brutal bout. She could have ended the fight faster, of course, but the Guard was so smitten that he begged her to continue. SITS ON HIS DUFF (73-1810) (38-19-3,193) of THINGS GEORGE DOES fought CLOTTO (106-25) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes. SITS ON HIS DUFF savagely defeated CLOTTO in a crowd pleasing 2 minute bloody brawl. Obviously, sitting around is not the ONLY thing George does. Good work. NEWT GINGRICH (5-3399) (86-30-0,188) of PARTY ANIMALS fought STIGMA OF STUPID (31-4948) (36-21-1,196) of UNFIT TO BE ORCS. NEWT GINGRICH was bested by STIGMA OF STUPID in an action packed 1 minute duel. Ah, and if Stigma is intellectually challenged, what does that make Newt? JACK VALTRAEDS (47-407) (111-69-2,208) of ROYAL FLUSH fought TELGOR (106-27) (0- 0-0,200) of the College of Mimes. JACK VALTRAEDS viciously subdued TELGOR in an action packed 3 minute gory fight. Good, I like to see that. Some of these Mimes are getting uppity. WEINERMUN (37-2635) (60-56-3,220) of ALL THE MUN'S MEN fought MAJOR DAMAGE (31- 600) (80-50-2,301) of MILITARY MAYHEM. WEINERMUN was narrowly defeated by MAJOR DAMAGE in a popular 3 minute bloody brawl. I understand that major damage usually strikes a weinermun in the form of a skewer and a bonfire. Nasty. BEAR ACUDA (47-4995) (32-27-1,236) of THE BEAR'S PAW fought VENEMOUS PORCUPINE (44-288) (83-61-0,328) of D.A. REJECTS. BEAR ACUDA was viciously subdued by VENEMOUS PORCUPINE in a 4 minute conflict. However, the Poison Center reports that Bear is responding well to the antidote. MORTICIAN (2-3890) (80-20-1,261) of DARK TOADS fought UNCERTAIN OMELET (47-3786) (22-15-0,206) of MYSTIC ORC FEAST. MORTICIAN savagely defeated UNCERTAIN OMELET in an exciting 6 minute brutal fight. And then, Mortician tried to bury the scrambled eggs in the sand. An natural impulse, I have no doubt, but it would have been messy for the next fight. PET CEMETARY (73-605) (80-41-2,216) of KING'S COURT fought CRYSALIS GUARD (106- 29) (0-0-0,200) of the College of Mimes. PET CEMETARY savagely defeated CRYSALIS GUARD in an exciting 1 minute gruesome fight. They tell me this Guard is something of a dog, and now... well, he's lucky the arenamaster stepped in before he was buried. DUTCH TREAT (26-1841) (105-36-2,263) of WORLDWIDE GORE fought HUNGRY BONES (31- 4720) (25-17-1,208) of UNFIT TO BE ORCS. DUTCH TREAT viciously subdued HUNGRY BONES in an action packed 2 minute gruesome fight. Hungry was hospitalized due to overeating something that seems to have involved chocolate, almonds, and heavy cream. PRIMUS (21-4975) (53-15-0,237) of REAL BEER fought TOADKILLER DOG (47-1103) (39- 17-1,298) of WASTED SCUM. PRIMUS was overpowered by TOADKILLER DOG in an action packed 3 minute uneven melee. Can that Dog suck up the beer, or what? Ah, don't answer that. The challenge matches: LITTLE DEVIL (14-4359) (21-21-0,81) of PLAYPEN challenged DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (68- 4666) (10-4-0,60) of BLOOD 4 THE MASSES. Down 21. LITTLE DEVIL was overpowered by DEVIL'S ADVOCATE in a 1 minute Challenge brawl. Thus providing a lot of blood for the masses, but I do wonder what the masses are going to do with it all. XYCO (54-2899) (18-11-3,99) of JANIX challenged GERRICK GRIMM (50-3530) (18-18- 1,100) of DRUID'S GROVE. Up 1. XYCO won victory over GERRICK GRIMM in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge fight. And another record slides into loser-hood. It's probably something to do with the advance of the glaciers. IRRITATING BEGGAR (73-1110) (68-21-1,204) of D.A. REJECTS challenged AVONSIDE (13-3927) (36-47-1,207) of KIWI CONNECTION. Up 3. IRRITATING BEGGAR overpowered AVONSIDE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge match. Avonside is now being treated for intense irritation of the money-pouch. BOARISH YELTSIN (5-3109) (70-44-2,196) of PARTY ANIMALS challenged RANDOM MATCHUP (96-1048) (36-18-4,201) of OVERRATED. Up 5. BOARISH YELTSIN slimly lost to RANDOM MATCHUP in a popular 1 minute Challenge contest. Worse than a blind date, eh, Boarish? KING UVDAHELL (47-1643) (51-28-1,198) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged WHEEL OF FORTUNE (25-2529) (50-52-2,203) of DUELING FOR DOLLARS. Up 5. KING UVDAHELL handily defeated WHEEL OF FORTUNE in a 1 minute Challenge match. Amazing how an axe to the axle will stop a wheel from spinning. One of life's little mysteries. And for the title: BRAND (82-13289) (49-31-1,296) of TOADS OF AMBER III challenged GERMAN SHEPARD (26-916) (100-58-0,378) of WORLDWIDE GORE. Up 82. BRAND devastated GERMAN SHEPARD in a 2 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight. An amazing effort, which Brand is to be saluted. And we hope he isn't too tire THIS time to do a column.

That was unexpected! -- Bear Acuda Violet Vulture -- "Unbelievably" or not--well fought! -- Balder Blue Velvet -- After 8 years on the sands, that loss leads to my final retirement. Salute. - Bearnice Ghost Dancer -- Care to dance again? I rather enjoyed it. -- Glum Black Flag -- I double what Billy Lilly said last month. Owch. -- Fred Bear Blue Blood -- I don't know why the handicapper thinks we're a good match. We've already done this. Not that a skill isn't worth receiving any way I can get it. -- Young Joan What handicapper? *I* did it. I just felt like it. -- MUG #84723, known to many as Kurmuskt the Whimsical P.S. I felt there was more to be drawn out between the two of you than showed last time. Mosgiel -- Remind me to invite you along for my next bar fight. You'd be a good man to have at my side. -- Billy Lilly Billy -- Why not just avoid your next bar fight? You're getting a little long in the tooth for that kind of stuff. -- Young Joan Joan -- Ah, you've never been in a bar fight, have you? The pleasures involved transcend age. -- Billy Lilly Waimate -- Tell me about this Otago place. I need a holiday (already!), and I'd like somewhere new and relaxing. -- Amelia P.S. Especially now that Acapulco is full of Delarquans. Devil's Advocate -- Clever of you to get a number to go with your name, very appropriate. And thanks for the skills. But I had to end it quickly, even if it meant taking a loss. I might be into taking dangerous risks, but having the Greywand looking over my shoulder is not one of them. -- Desperado Glum -- Oh, thanks, that loss is JUST what I need as I stand here feeling a terribly draft blowing my way from some horrible, dangerous location. I really don't WANT to adventure. I told Uncle Wolf that when he first approached me. I'm not READY for this kind of stuff, you know? Oh, well. -- Ghost Dancer P.S. Good fight, I guess, even if you didn't teach me a single skill to help out. P.P.S. Well, I was probably too upset to pay attention properly. P.P.P.S. Ketchum, go ahead and ramble. You're as far off the mark as you could be, but if rambling makes your socks roll up and down, go for it. My socks never roll up and down. That's what garters are for. Ketchum -- That's because I never fly here, of course. -- Amelia Yellow Submarine -- Do you sail to the Spirit Lands? -- Ghost Dancer, considering alternatives to swimming 28 January 2008 CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com and put D2 in the subject header. Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger 2 February 2008 ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists organized.
