It seems like the third time was the charm. Looks like Hriefomar the Red is up next. I just hope I can hang on to the Tower Guardian spot for more than one turn. -- Cannon Ball REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Well, hello there! First off, I want to thank Cannonball for writing a column. Well done, and many thanks! Unfortunately he was defeated this turn, so it'll be up to someone else to write the next one. There were fourteen fights today including three challenges (all by the same guild), exactly the same numbers as last time. No one avoided anyone. I know you're all not afraid of other gladiators, but it still makes good sense, strategically, to post avoids. You should try it. All right, let's look at the fights... CANNONBALL (72-5313) (54-66-3,244) of X-POSSE challenged HREIDMAR THE RED (10- 6148) (38-18-0,224) of VIKINGS. CANNONBALL was bested by HREIDMAR THE RED in a 1 minute Challenge Title fight. So, Cannonball is still our top Lunger and overall popularity leader, Hreidmar is still the top Aimed Blow, but Hreidmar is now the Tower Guardian. Tower Guardian. That's what they have in Talahya. Wouldn't you like a title here in Crysalis that's a bit more creative? Does anyone have any suggestions? CRYBABY (72-5853) (20-31-1,100) of OUTLAWS challenged DEEDERS (28-5419) (24-16- 1,150) of TEAM KASSEL TAP. CRYBABY vanquished DEEDERS in an exciting 1 minute uneven Challenge battle. COPYCAT (72-5854) (19-26-1,80) of OUTLAWS challenged VISIONS (84-26780) (22-20- 0,83) of INNERVISIONS. COPYCAT was overpowered by VISIONS in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge duel. GRIZZ GRIMHULT (19-5083) (23-13-1,195) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE fought G W BUSH (59- 2764) (45-47-2,164) of TALL TALES. GRIZZ GRIMHULT devastated G W BUSH in a 1 minute one-sided fight. Grimhult is the top Striker. HUNTSMAN (7-5837) (69-52-1,191) of SENTINELS fought UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (49- 43-1,188) of TALL TALES. HUNTSMAN demolished UNCLE FESTER in an action packed 1 minute mismatched competition. Huntsman is the top Slasher, and I'd like to thank him again for his column last turn. BALDASSARE (7-6003) (54-52-0,205) of SENTINELS fought TAMMY FAYE (39-3520) (42- 87-0,170) of WITLESS WONDERS. BALDASSARE defeated TAMMY FAYE in a 1 minute struggle. Baldy is the top Parry-Strike. HAGAR BLUETOOTH (10-5850) (54-43-1,196) of VIKINGS fought ORPHAN (72-5463) (28- 38-2,161) of X-POSSE. HAGAR BLUETOOTH beat ORPHAN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute brawl. Hagar is top Wall of Steel, while Orphan is top Basher. KING MIDAS (59-2770) (43-43-1,170) of TALL TALES fought SWEET REVENGE (8-5378) (24-6-0,116) of PEASANT REBELLION. KING MIDAS was narrowly defeated by SWEET REVENGE in a 2 minute gruesome melee. HOPALONG CASSIDY (72-7839) (28-24-0,118) of COWBOY CROONERS fought LITTLE BOU (21-7929) (32-22-0,148) of NOMADIC TRIBE. HOPALONG CASSIDY won victory over LITTLE BOU in an action packed 3 minute duel. Hoppy is top Parry-Lunge and he was also voted this turn's favorite. MAULT LIQUOR (22-6728) (24-13-1,143) of MAULS LOCAL 457 fought LUSTY LISA (28- 5412) (25-27-2,138) of TEAM KASSEL TAP. MAULT LIQUOR was overpowered by LUSTY LISA in a popular 1 minute uneven duel. JINX (47-7951) (24-22-1,95) of TEAM TOONS fought JOHNNY APPLESEED (59-2767) (29- 63-0,51) of TALL TALES. JINX savagely defeated JOHNNY APPLESEED in an action packed 2 minute gory match. Despite losing, Appleseed is the top TP. KNOS THE AXE (74-4394) (18-3-0,92) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE fought PEPPER (47-8958) (13-6-0,50) of STAR PRAIRIE. KNOS THE AXE slew PEPPER in a exciting 1 minute match. A death! I hate when that happens. Looks like it was an accident though. GENE AUTRY (72-7838) (20-32-3,40) of COWBOY CROONERS fought UNEMPLOYED PERSON (106-5) (0-0-0,70) of . GENE AUTRY was devastated by UNEMPLOYED PERSON in a 1 minute mismatched conflict. CABO WABO (51-5583) (17-12-2,60) of VAN DUEL fought DROP TOP BM (32-6283) (15-7- 1,72) of B.I.G.. CABO WABO devastated DROP TOP BM in a 1 minute mismatched bout. Hmm, Drop Top was this turn's least favorite gladiator. Could it be the name? So that's all I can think of to tell you. You all practice hard, get your friends and teammates to join in, and we'll meet again in two weeks. -- Olaf Modeen THE TOWER GUARDIAN W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY HREIDMAR THE RED 10-6148 39 18 0 230 VIKINGS (1208) KOLACT GRAND CHAMPIONS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY BALDASSARE 7-6003 55 52 0 207 SENTINELS (1202) BONSUR HUNTSMAN 7-5837 70 52 1 204 SENTINELS (1202) BONSUR CANNONBALL 72-5313 54 67 3 200 X-POSSE (1093) DRAGONHEAD HAGAR BLUETOOTH 10-5850 55 43 1 198 VIKINGS (1208) KOLACT GRIZZ GRIMHULT 19-5083 24 13 1 197 BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE (1481) ZUWAYZA -LORD FOUL 59-1395 36 57 2 190 BLOODGUARD (1341) ILLIS UNCLE FESTER 59-2768 49 44 1 184 TALL TALES (1335) ILLIS GRAND CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY TAMMY FAYE 39-3520 42 88 0 174 WITLESS WONDERS (1052) XOCHITHLAN ORPHAN 72-5463 28 39 2 168 X-POSSE (1093) DRAGONHEAD G W BUSH 59-2764 45 48 2 165 TALL TALES (1335) ILLIS LUSTY LISA 28-5412 26 27 2 158 TEAM KASSEL TAP (1511) MORYA GRAND ADEPTS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY SWEET REVENGE 8-5378 25 6 0 149 PEASANT REBELLION (1542) ARKERS HOPALONG CASSIDY 72-7839 29 24 0 146 COWBOY CROONERS (1535) DRAGONHEAD KING MIDAS 59-2770 43 44 1 144 TALL TALES (1335) ILLIS CRYBABY 72-5853 21 31 1 140 OUTLAWS (1495) DRAGONHEAD LITTLE BOU 21-7929 32 23 0 130 NOMADIC TRIBE (1219) SUNSET GRAND ADEPTS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY MAULT LIQUOR 22-6728 24 14 1 130 MAULS LOCAL 457 (1493) SOLVEN -ZEST 8-5224 38 10 1 125 Z GLADIATORZ (1128) ARKERS DEEDERS 28-5419 24 17 1 115 TEAM KASSEL TAP (1511) MORYA KNOS THE AXE 74-4394 19 3 1 107 BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE (1570) DAYLA KIV GRAND CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY JINX 47-7951 25 22 1 97 TEAM TOONS (1500) NORTH FORK VISIONS 84-26780 23 20 0 92 INNERVISIONS (1594) BLACKSTONE -GAUTREK 47-7666 29 36 3 91 JOMSVIKINGS (1501) NORTH FORK GRAND INITIATES W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY -BIKINI ATOLL 47-7799 34 27 1 85 NUKE TEST (1443) NORTH FORK CABO WABO 51-5583 18 12 2 80 VAN DUEL (1476) TRICORUS -LUCIFEROUS HOPE 8-5522 20 17 1 78 BROKEN SPIRITS (1616) ARKERS -DOG ON THE LOOSE 47-7756 20 14 2 76 BASH BROS PARK (1376) NORTH FORK COPYCAT 72-5854 19 27 1 72 OUTLAWS (1495) DRAGONHEAD -BLACK BEARD 11-8126 19 6 0 63 COLORIFIC (1050) ARUAK CITY -ROYAL RAGE HAMMER 83-37 18 6 1 61 AAAARRGH HAMMERZ (1608) TELORINTHE PEPPER 47-8958 13 7 0 61 STAR PRAIRIE (1603) NORTH FORK JOHNNY APPLESEED 59-2767 29 64 0 58 TALL TALES (1335) ILLIS DROP TOP BM 32-6283 15 8 1 58 B.I.G.

Armsilbar liked being Master of the Stronghold Academy, all except for one part. He had to talk to Sheila Greywand at least once a week, usually oftener. She was getting more erratic. More chaotic. That would be the effect of the Grey Wand. It was a powerful chaotic artifact, and she kept it with her always. She had turned his predecessor into a frog--or 164 frogs--and then summoned all the members of the Academy to a frog-leg dinner. That had been, ah, bad. Yes, very bad. But here he was entering her chambers. With, well, it couldn't be called GOOD news. And the look she turned on him--she was in an orcish mood today, all scowling black brows and bared fangs--that made him nervous. But some things had to be done. He cleared his throat, which seemed to have a frog in it, and said, "It's about the next tourney prize, Lady. I know it's more than two months away, but this isn't too soon to start thinking of some new, exciting prize--" "I have no intention of thinking about 'new, exciting prizes'," she snapped. Or was that a snarl? "These managers are getting above themselves. They act like I created the arena system for their amusement! There will be one standard prize for all the tourneys. Just one." He had a horrible vision of all the managers walking out in a mass. Perhaps it wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. And if he said the wrong thing, well, the next frog-leg dinner might be him. "Er, ah, perhaps a specific prize for each tourney--a spring prize, a summer prize, and so on? The managers expect--" She exploded. A literal explosion, the force of the blast blew his hair off. She said several things in an obsolete dialect of orcish. He stepped backward, then again. The blast had blown the door open behind him. If he could make it out before something else happened-- "Ribbit! Ribbit!"
