                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     So, here we are on a cold and foggy day at the end of the year, our last meeting
before the tourney.  Numbers on the sands aren't bad, twenty-five fights with only
two standbys.  For anything other than Talahya and Primus, this is good.  But only
Jorja's crew wrote personals?  This is not the Way of Crysalis!  We don't CHATTER,
but we do converse, explain, apologize, and boast, even whine occasionally.  Pull up
your socks and produce some personals next time!  Write them while you're waiting for
your fight to be called at the tourney, perhaps.

     Blue Blood gained twenty-five points, the largest increase of anybody active
here today.
     The Smell of It lost eighteen, the biggest drop.
     Twenty-five fights with two standbys, as noted above.  Only three challenges.
Somebody, several somebodies, was/were asleep at the switch!
     Royal Flush was most avoided by Flower Girls.
     Avonside got the most challenges.

Because of the fog (freezing fog, no less), the normal pre-fights parade was omitted.
Rumor has it that some gladiator, carelessly touching a companion with his bare hand,
found said bare hand frozen to the aforementioned companion's armor.  This kind of
thing reduces the enthusiasm.
     THE SMELL OF IT (45-3564) (23-29-1,84) of EMETICS fought AMELIA (28-3417) (36-
28-1,54) of DODGE BULLETS.  THE SMELL OF IT was savagely defeated by AMELIA in an
action packed 1 minute gory duel.  Hence the big drop in points for Smell.
     TOM SMITH DISEASE (50-3400) (21-21-0,81) of STRANGE TUNES fought CREDIT CARD (5-
4052) (18-10-0,52) of BLOOD SUCKERS.  TOM SMITH DISEASE overpowered CREDIT CARD in a
1 minute uneven match.  Amazing!  I didn't think anything could overpower the Card.
     AZAGHAL (81-1223) (17-14-0,65) of DRAGONBANE GUILD fought MOSQUITO (5-5011) (16-
12-1,70) of BLOOD SUCKERS.  AZAGHAL was beaten by MOSQUITO in an action packed 2
minute gory fight.  Ah, so many fall to the Mosquito without even realizing they were
at risk.  Sneaky little devil.
     LORD EXETER (81-932) (23-14-0,91) of DRAGONBANE GUILD fought UNEMPLOYED PERSON
(106-5) (0-0-0,70) of the College of Mimes.  LORD EXETER murdered UNEMPLOYED PERSON
in a 1 minute gruesome one-sided fight.  This was, perhaps, a little harsh.  The
arena staff is whining about the difficulty of recruiting a replacement.
     HAGAR BLUETOOTH (10-5850) (23-3-1,95) of VIKINGS fought SCUMMY BOY (73-3371)
(16-8-0,84) of THE FAMILY TREE.  HAGAR BLUETOOTH viciously subdued SCUMMY BOY in a
crowd pleasing 7 minute gory fray.  Anybody with blue teeth is to be feared.
     RANCID WAIF (8-4413) (31-19-0,95) of HAPLESS WAIF fought DOMJON (50-3554) (27-
36-3,50) of DRUID'S GROVE.  RANCID WAIF demolished DOMJON in a 1 minute uneven bout.
To misuse the name of one of Rancid's colleagues, it was probably "the smell of it"
that won this fight.

A brief pause, hot chocolate all around, and we go on.
     GURU GNU (38-4784) (12-2-0,100) of HILLTOP GURUS fought GABBER KNIGHT (77-2243)
(7-1-0,94) of 500 BPM.  GURU GNU was narrowly defeated by GABBER KNIGHT in an action
packed 3 minute fight.  A couple of early graduates, still wet behind the ears!
Probably their ears will freeze.
     CRIMSON MIST (8-5047) (32-21-1,133) of BLOOD RITES fought ZOOLANDER (39-3523)
(27-20-1,150) of WITLESS WONDERS.  CRIMSON MIST was handily defeated by ZOOLANDER in
a 1 minute mismatched competition.  For a few minutes, the actual fog seemed to go
red.  Eerie and unsettling.
     BILLY LILLY (28-3416) (33-47-1,152) of DODGE BULLETS fought HAZE (82-49272) (25-
16-0,180) of NORTHERN LIGHTS.  BILLY LILLY was savagely defeated by HAZE in an
exciting 2 minute gory bout.  Billy's good at this, you know.  Losing.
     GERRICK GRIMM (50-3530) (27-46-1,159) of DRUID'S GROVE fought BANDAGED HAND (20-
2765) (18-13-2,166) of 100% NATURAL GROOVE.  GERRICK GRIMM was bested by BANDAGED
HAND in an exciting 2 minute brutal fight.  I knew a man once who fought with his
hands bandaged.  Until someone stabbed him in the back.  It was then discovered that
he had bandaged a horseshoe into each hand to give power to his punches.  You need to
watch for things like that.
     KARATIA (73-3624) (35-17-1,151) of KIWI CONNECTION fought LUMBERING WAIF (8-
4346) (27-24-0,157) of HAPLESS WAIF.  KARATIA bested LUMBERING WAIF in a 1 minute
brawl.  A fast fight, so that the Waif didn't have time to lumber into action.
     EVALON ELKHORN (50-3553) (32-31-3,155) of DRUID'S GROVE fought OBAN (31-4530)
(22-31-1,142) of SINGLE MALTS.  EVALON ELKHORN unbelievably bested OBAN in an action
packed 3 minute brutal duel.  Why is this unbelievable?  Those druids train on mead,
and a single malt is nothing after mead.

Hot bricks all around for the audience, but what will the gladiators waiting their
turn do?  There's a rumor that some are playing with matches.
     GHOST DANCER (28-3365) (46-35-0,164) of DODGE BULLETS fought LAPHROAIG (31-4529)
(29-25-0,176) of SINGLE MALTS.  GHOST DANCER was handily defeated by LAPHROAIG in a 1
minute one-sided conflict.  They do say that these Rirorni can't hold their liquor--
at all.  Or anybody else's liquor.
     CRUMBSNATCHER (72-1842) (52-33-1,200) of ONE GOOD DUDE fought KRONOS GRIMHOLT
(7-6011) (23-9-1,161) of SENTINELS.  CRUMBSNATCHER demolished KRONOS GRIMHOLT in a
popular 1 minute mismatched match.  And are we surprised at this outcome?  No.
     TUNDRA (45-4280) (31-21-1,181) of ARCTIC WASTES fought BINGE N PURGE (45-3567)
(30-23-0,167) of EMETICS.  TUNDRA subdued BINGE N PURGE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute
bloody competition.  A discovery for Binge:  a boot in the belly will also cause
emesis.
     THE REFEREE (45-1091) (76-50-4,196) of AVID FANS fought VERMICIOUS KNID (106-30)
(0-0-0,240) of the College of Mimes.  THE REFEREE overpowered VERMICIOUS KNID in a
popular 3 minute brutal one-sided melee.  Excellent!  The Knid needs to be
overpowered frequently and firmly.
     BLACK FLAG (82-46046) (43-35-3,203) of TONGUE N CHEEK fought ROXANNE DE'MORRE
(50-3449) (46-45-0,177) of DRUID'S GROVE.  BLACK FLAG vanquished ROXANNE DE'MORRE in
a 2 minute one-sided fight.  And who can wonder?  Flag's ranking is not an accident.

More hot chocolate for the waiting gladiators.  Coffee or tea might be better, less
likely to leave a scum on the teeth, but they're classed as stimulants and so are not
allowed at this point.
     TAMMY FAYE (39-3520) (26-21-0,182) of WITLESS WONDERS fought GODSMACK (82-48417)
(25-12-0,180) of TONGUE N CHEEK.  TAMMY FAYE won victory over GODSMACK in a popular 2
minute gruesome duel.  Is there a lesson in this?  "Wits aren't enough," or
something?
     DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (68-4666) (27-24-1,219) of BLOOD 4 THE MASSES fought LOOGIE
CLAP (82-46049) (33-27-2,204) of TONGUE N CHEEK.  DEVIL'S ADVOCATE savagely defeated
LOOGIE CLAP in an action packed 16 minute melee.  The stewards tried to bring out the
lions after the tenth minute, a new arena-management strategy to keep the fights
short, but the lions wouldn't leave their warm cages.  Smart lions.
     TOTTI (17-5991) (34-15-2,230) of ITALIAN FOOTBALL fought YOUNG JOAN (28-3534)
(40-49-1,190) of DODGE BULLETS.  TOTTI devastated YOUNG JOAN in a crowd pleasing 1
minute mismatched match.  Ah, those professional athletes--the young women all go for
them!  Seems unfair to the rest of us.
     TABBY (82-29373) (23-9-0,221) of FELINES fought DESPERADO (28-1152) (46-45-
2,183) of DODGE BULLETS.  TABBY devastated DESPERADO in a popular 1 minute uneven
brawl.  Ailurophobia?
     MISS ZING (8-824) (67-50-3,232) of LADIES IN WAITING fought BLUE BLOOD (73-3657)
(37-26-1,195) of BLACK & BLUE.  MISS ZING was devastated by BLUE BLOOD in an exciting
2 minute one-sided fight.  This win brought Blue the big point increase, and well it
should.  Though I was hoping to get a glimpse of his blood.  Is it really blue?

The challenge matches!  And a departure very soon to a warm place.  Ah, not THAT warm
place, but there's a fire in the spy reporters' lounge, and I want to sit next to it.
     HUNTSMAN (7-5837) (34-15-0,189) of SENTINELS challenged GALENA (28-3505) (28-21-
0,191) of BOXOROX.  Up 2.  HUNTSMAN was defeated by GALENA in a crowd pleasing 1
minute Challenge duel.  Looks like the Huntsman got rocks to the head.
     RAVISHING REDBUD (52-3197) (42-18-0,199) of FLOWER GIRLS challenged ANVIL
IRONFIST (81-84) (37-13-0,207) of DRAGONBANE GUILD.  Up 8.  RAVISHING REDBUD savagely
defeated ANVIL IRONFIST in a 5 minute Challenge melee.  Ravished him, in fact.

For the title:
     Most-challenged AVONSIDE (13-3927) (45-59-1,269) of KIWI CONNECTION challenged
DUTCH TREAT (26-1841) (129-38-2,344) of WORLDWIDE GORE.  Up lots.  With a difference
that big, what's the point of going for the details?  AVONSIDE was bested by DUTCH
TREAT in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge Title fight.  Dutch remains our top
gladiator.  Congratulations.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Congrats to Dutch Treat, winner over Javelin.  You deserve to be the Tower Guardian.
A salute to Crip and his Crew. -- Those Consortium Folk

Miss Zing -- No, it was me that was missing the zing.  Well done. -- Ravishing Redbud

Monkey Business -- Ah!  That kind of thing can be fun, but it has no substance.  A
serious person discounts it. -- Young Joan
P.S.  Of course, a giant, genderless golem isn't very tempting.

Slippery Nipple -- That's a name?  It's... unusual. -- Ghost Dancer

Evalon Elkhorn -- Ah, but I'm more desperate than you are!  And this win gives me a
winning record, besides. -- Desperado

Oban -- Ho!  One malt can't get me down, it takes at least two! -- Billy Lilly

Rancid Waif -- Chemical warfare!  You could try bathing, you know. -- Amelia

Paul II -- How is this bad? -- Young Joan

Jive -- I had a headache. -- Ghost Dancer

Readers of Crysalis -- I've been sick, and the story has suffered for it.  What would
you prefer, that I synopsize to remind us where we were and then go on, or just drop
the whole storyline as being doomed? -- the Scribe
