WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT
Gad vs. Evangelion
As many have likely noticed, Gad and Evangelion have been fighting for the last
12 turns, challenging back and forth in an epic series. Why have Darque and Assur
been doing this? Because they match up very well and while Gad appears to have the
edge, the fights are great and it is not as one sided as it may appear.
For those who haven't been fortunate to catch some of these fights, I try to
summarize.
They have fought for 86 minutes in 12 fights, with Gad winning 8 to Eva's 4.
Average length just over 7 minutes. Knockdowns have not played a role, but in two
fights, Eva broke two weapons and didn't have a second backup. Ten weapons total
have been broken (Gad has lost 2 daggers parrying and a scimitar on an attack and a
parry, Eva has lost 2 epees attacking and 4 scimitars parrying). Endurance has
definitely played a role in several of the bouts, especially early in the series.
Both warriors appear to have settled into their current strategies and armaments.
Gad has taken 59 hits and been desperate 15 times.
Eva has taken 55 hits and been desperate 17 times.
This does not count going desperate and giving up at the end of a fight.
In all but one fight, both warriors have taken damage, the exception being turn
51 when Gad did not take any damage.
Half the fights have seen both warriors desperate one or more times.
In every loss, the loser has not given up without trying to come back from
desperation at least once.
Gad has made 114 crits in 199 attacks. Eva 104 crits in 224 attacks. These
totals do not include tired attacks.
I will update these stats in a couple of turns after both Eva and Gad head to
Primus. In the meantime, I hope to enjoy a few more of their fights. A classic
series between two well matched fighters.

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Huh. This day started out good, blue sky, red trees, sun shining... and by the
time I'd got my pen out to write this, white sky, cold breeze.... No two ways around
it, winter is coming.
Debby Tonte says that Obrojobo got the MVP award. Interpret those initials how
you will. But he did get nineteen points. Copernicus lost twenty-three points by
"getting smashed"--by a standby, but first, perhaps, by a lot of 'shine.
According to some of the clerks, Sentinels avoided Color Me Suave. According to
other clerks, nobody avoided anybody. Believe what you will. Ruth got the most
challenges.
We had fifteen fights, two challenges, and three standbys.
COPERNICUS (81-163) (27-16-3,55) of DARQUE AGES fought ALASTARIAN DESERTER (107-
1) (0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys. COPERNICUS was vanquished by ALASTARIAN
DESERTER in a 2 minute one-sided fray. It was for this, and rightly, that Copernicus
dropped in the rankings.
HUGH CAPET (81-690) (28-35-4,45) of DARQUE AGES fought RIRORNI SOLDIER (107-3)
(0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys. HUGH CAPET won victory over RIRORNI SOLDIER in
a crowd pleasing 1 minute bout. An easy win for Hugh, but if the Rirorni Soldier had
been allowed to bring his horse into the arena, it might have been a different story.
OZAWINDIB (7-6212) (25-20-0,70) of SENTINELS fought JOAN OF ARC (81-165) (27-20-
0,67) of DARQUE AGES. OZAWINDIB overpowered JOAN OF ARC in a popular 4 minute
mismatched conflict. Seems ungentlemanly to go hitting a woman, but if she's trying
to hit you, that makes a difference.
PINCH BLISTER (18-9859) (43-58-0,160) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought CAJETAN (7-6036)
(26-28-1,170) of SENTINELS. PINCH BLISTER was viciously subdued by CAJETAN in an
exciting 5 minute bloody battle. Pinches make me feel vicious, too.
JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (48-41-0,157) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought VIRGINIA, NO
SANTA (65-6623) (35-53-1,132) of GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS. JELLO KNUCKLES savagely
defeated VIRGINIA, NO SANTA in a 2 minute match. No Santa for Virginia today.
THE UPRIGHT MAN (10-5185) (29-36-0,156) of ALASTARIAN IDOL fought THE HYPHEN-
DASH (42-4499) (42-36-1,175) of COLOR ME SUAVE. THE UPRIGHT MAN was overpowered by
THE HYPHEN-DASH in a 1 minute one-sided melee. He was dashed to the ground.
FAN ZHEN (81-1288) (44-33-2,198) of DARQUE AGES fought ANZAHANZEK (7-6204) (29-
16-0,194) of SENTINELS. FAN ZHEN overpowered ANZAHANZEK in a popular 1 minute gory
uneven duel. Hmm, I can't seem to find a comment to make here.
HEINRIK (81-1257) (52-49-1,202) of CLAN LONGBEARD fought POCKET NEWS (19-5364)
(23-17-0,156) of THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS. HEINRIK vanquished POCKET NEWS in a 1 minute
uneven duel. Look for this in the news!
WALLI WEEBLE (21-6935) (41-38-0,189) of NOMADIC TRIBE fought 1977 AMC MATADOR
(42-4116) (65-52-0,185) of COLOR ME SUAVE. WALLI WEEBLE outlasted 1977 AMC MATADOR
in an action packed 7 minute melee. Tedious, but it left time to eat a sandwich.
OBROJOBO (7-5869) (38-36-1,204) of SENTINELS fought THE BRIDE (45-4180) (55-30-
2,180) of DARQUE FORCES. OBROJOBO devastated THE BRIDE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
mismatched match. Obrojobo eats bridal bouquets for an appetizer. Try throwing the
ring-bearer at him next time.
ALMOST PRETTY (42-4496) (74-41-0,229) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought GOJIRO (107-31)
(0-0-0,220) of Fine Imported Standbys. ALMOST PRETTY devastated GOJIRO in a popular
1 minute uneven brawl. Good, Gojiro needs to be devastated now and then.
JOSH (18-9109) (41-37-0,240) of SHEPHERDS fought MOIST TOWELETTE (42-4430) (92-
46-4,369) of COLOR ME SUAVE. JOSH was overpowered by MOIST TOWELETTE in a 1 minute
one-sided fight. But his face and hands were clean.
The challenges:
AZAGHAL (81-1223) (39-38-1,190) of DRAGONBANE GUILD challenged RUTH (18-10121)
(36-26-0,199) of SHEPHERDS. Up 9. AZAGHAL savagely defeated RUTH in an exciting 5
minute gory Challenge melee. This was Ruth-the-Most-Challenged.
GAD (18-9239) (48-51-1,220) of SHEPHERDS challenged EVANGELION (59-2340) (45-41-
1,195) of IMPROVED ILLUSION. Down 25. GAD was viciously subdued by EVANGELION in a
crowd pleasing 7 minute Challenge fight. Another episode in the long struggle.
For the title:
FROO-FROO (18-9589) (83-37-4,360) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought SHINY PENNY (32-
3789) (83-135-2,211) of FOUND IN THE SAND. FROO-FROO vanquished SHINY PENNY in a 1
minute mismatched Title brawl. No changes. Congratulations to Froo.
