Good afternoon!

     Edith Tonte here.

     Jhelum Arena hosted 18 fights today.  There were 91 spectators, which is a record 
for this year.  Songs of the Wood avoided The Killing Hive.  There were four deaths 
today, and only one possibility for a bloodfeud.
     Centurion killed the Mordant Deserter.  Did the Deserter really deserve death?   
CENTURION (4-8010) (1-0-0,21) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' fought MORDANT DESERTER (4-582) (0-
0-0,5) of Stand-Ins.  CENTURION assassinated MORDANT DESERTER in a 1 minute mismatched 
conflict.
     BRAVE 100 (4-8012) (0-0-0,0) of TRIBAL COUNCIL DA challenged SHEWISH GIANT (4-
601) (0-0-0,55) of DARK ARENA.  BRAVE 100 savagely slew SHEWISH GIANT in a 1 minute 
gruesome Dark Arena fight.  How gruesome was it?  Well, Brave could only reach argets 
up to the level of the Giant's kidneys.  And a bit lower, shall we say.  The Tribal 
Council sent Brave to the DA, and he emerged alive.  Will his manager give him a 
chance?
     What a loss to the Tribal Coouncil!  OSCEOLA (4-7929) (15-6-1,95) of TRIBAL 
COUNCIL fought THE WHISTLER (4-7789) (16-16-0,109) of SONGS OF THE WOOD.  OSCEOLA was 
executed by THE WHISTLER in an exciting 1 minute bloody one-sided fight.  Will the 
Tribal Council bloodfeud?  It looks like only Tall Oak would have a chance, probably a 
slim one.  With more experience, maybe Brave 100 could do it.  The Whistler gained 36 
points and is now our top Striker.
     Marathon was the least popular fighter today, and you can see why.  CHAR B1 EURE 
(4-7947) (4-3-0,33) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' challenged MARATHON (4-7972) (7-5-1,34) of 
CARESS OF STEEL!.  CHAR B1 EURE outwaited MARATHON in a dull 24 minute gory Challenge 
brawl.  Char B1 Eure is the second least popular.
     The Killing Hive will be losing two of its best fighters, because they're headed 
for the Isle after next turn:
     BARBAX (4-7891) (22-6-0,118) of THE KILLING HIVE fought JESSE FULLER (4-7802) 
(18-15-1,97) of CLASSIC BLUES.  BARBAX devastated JESSE FULLER in a crowd pleasing 4 
minute mismatched Title match.  After next turn, of course, Barbax will no longer be 
the Duelmaster.
     SHATTERBOW (4-7772) (18-11-1,109) of THE KILLING HIVE fought EDGAR (4-7838) (21-
29-0,92) of DOGS OF WAR.  SHATTERBOW vanquished EDGAR in an exciting 1 minute gruesome 
one-sided fight.
     As usual, Lead Balloon is the most challenged fighter.  CARRO LEGGERO (4-7904) 
(10-26-3,70) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' challenged LEAD BALLOON (4-7742) (3-72-0,81) of DOGS 
OF WAR.  CARRO LEGGERO devastated LEAD BALLOON in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge 
contest.
     Trust Fall, headed for the Isle, stopped off at the Dark Arena.  TRUST FALL (4-
7887) (12-3-1,105) of SILLY YUPPIE! DA challenged MOUNTAIN TROLL (4-598) (0-0-0,40) of 
DARK ARENA.  TRUST FALL viciously butchered MOUNTAIN TROLL in a 2 minute Dark Arena 
fight.  Which would you rather fight, a Mountain Troll or a Bridge Troll.  I've heard 
the Bridge Trolls are much smarter.
     Well, my eyes are tired, so that's all for now.  Have a good fortnight.
