                       Reflections by the Champion of the Horn

Wow!  I never thought I'd be sitting in the fancy chair.  To be honest, it isn't that 
fancy.  The cushion is purple velvet and quite soft.  The wooden arms have some 
carving on them, showing all the weapons allowed in the sport.  No gold inlay or 
anything though.

Last turn I was challenged by Rat Soldier, who I think didn't want the Title anymore.  
It wasn't obvious, because Lady Greywand was in the stands, but I think he let me win.  
He didn't teach me any skills though.

Anyway, hi everyone.  I'm waving at you from up here.  Hoping to lose this title 
pretty quickly.  So you know, I'm not a dwarf.  I'm six feet tall. I do have a beard, 
and I think that's what made the Commission clerks think "dwarf."  But I'm Rocani and 
human.

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hey you poozers,

Storm Rock had nine fights today, which was better than last time.  No one avoided or 
challenge, and no one died.

     THE OVEN BIRD (75-3934) (48-25-1,220) of DEFROSTED fought MOD COD (55-2638) (436-
227-5,318) of RHYME TYME.  THE OVEN BIRD was devastated by MOD COD in a 1 minute 
mismatched Title fight.  Mod Cod is, as always, top Lunger and the overall popularity 
leader, and he's now back on the Champion of the Horn's throne.
     RENEGADE-RAT (41-388) (41-35-3,218) of RAT PAK fought LAUDINA (81-3658) (43-28-
2,195) of MADNESS.  RENEGADE-RAT was overcome by LAUDINA in a popular 5 minute 
gruesome match.  Laudina is still Storm Rock's leading Parry-Lunge, and is this turn's 
favorite fighter.
     HUMMINGBIRD (56-3475) (99-117-0,237) of REDHORSE fought RINGIL (81-3633) (39-24-
2,197) of MIRKWOOD ORCS.  HUMMINGBIRD devastated RINGIL in a popular 1 minute brutal 
one-sided contest.  Hummingbird remains the top Slasher, and she got 20 points for 
this turn, which she didn't want.  Ringil lost 9.
     RAT SOLDIER (62-5152) (50-26-0,197) of RODENTIAN NATION fought BUCK (1-2291) (75-
159-0,178) of MOSSRUNNERS.  RAT SOLDIER viciously subdued BUCK in an action packed 2 
minute gory brawl.  Rat Soldier is our top Aimed Blow.
     JAVELINO (56-3728) (61-73-1,204) of REDHORSE fought TEM OF SMALLCLIFF (35-4865) 
(58-70-5,188) of HOUSE JHEREG.  JAVELINO devastated TEM OF SMALLCLIFF in a crowd 
pleasing 2 minute mismatched match.  Javelino is the top Striker.  Tem was voted least 
popular this turn.
     BROKEN TOE (56-3683) (71-94-1,204) of REDHORSE fought NARSIL (81-3401) (53-35-
1,185) of MIRKWOOD ORCS.  BROKEN TOE was overcome by NARSIL in an action packed 2 
minute melee.  Narsil is our best Total Parry.
     MOOSE (56-3459) (72-98-0,200) of REDHORSE fought TOUCH BASE (32-6828) (66-80-
1,210) of CON + INSULT.  MOOSE viciously subdued TOUCH BASE in a popular 2 minute 
gruesome duel.
     RAYNER (20-182) (97-147-3,173) of DEADLINE fought ARIOCH (81-996) (28-29-3,116) 
of OF WOLF AND MAN.  RAYNER won victory over ARIOCH in a popular 2 minute fight.  
Rayner is our best Parry-Riposte.  Arioch, I haven't seen you before.  Are you new 
here?
     ANDURIL (81-3435) (40-38-1,171) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought EVIL INPUTTER (107-7) (0-
0-0,110).  ANDURIL beat EVIL INPUTTER in a popular 2 minute melee.

That's all.  See you in fourteen.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

The Oven Bird -- Good fight!  Though I'd rather you didn't hit me in the neck.  
Anyway, now it's your turn to write a column.  I wrote one for last time, but the 
Commission mislaid it so it'll probably be in there this time. -- Javelino

Renegade-Rat -- Glad I could teach you something.  I guess I AM pretty decisive.  When 
I'm about to be decisive, I... no, shouldn't say that, should I? -- Moose

Laudina -- You're quite good, and now I'm in danger of having to write another column, 
darn it! -- Hummingbird

Anduril -- Oh no, I dropped an Anduril on my sore toe!  Not really, and thanks for the 
skill.

Narsil -- Hey, I taught you four skills!  Didn't know I had that many to teach. -- 
Narsil
