THE CHAMPION'S CUP

[Vakachehk]

Just a question. Why is it done every OOC month? Why not every IC month?

[xitop]

Just an answer    Simplicity.

[Heleckie]

I was killing dark rogues as is my usual habit, when Grimul came to visit me.  Grimul, for those of you who don't know, is the Dakkru priest who helps preside over the Champion's Cup.  He slipped me a grubby looking note and asked me if I would read it and spread the news to the citizenry of Hydlaa.

I tried to get hold of the editor of the local rag but he seems to have packed up shop and gone on extensive leave.  So then i had the bright idea of posting Grimul's note here in the forum:

CHAMPION'S CUP...
                                                  CURSED,  
                                                      or             
                                                   WHAT???

A special report by Grimal Gorfest, special reporter and servant of Dakkru.


Consider the facts:

Xitop purchased the Cup from a rogue named Jacula, who dug it from a pile of trepor dung: the Cup is covered with magic symbols and precious stones of rare beauty. Then Jacula vanished without trace and strange things began to happen.

At the first Champion's Cup  entrants reported a "strange power"  stopped them attacking one another.  Then a fierce  warrior named Asiek
killed everyone except for his companion, the young and beautiful Heleckie, claiming victory and the Cup for himself. Alas! Asiek had to disqualify himself as soon as he remembered that he was the  tournament referee!!!

The Second Cup was fairly won by "The Warriors"

 At the next event, however, when Diamond Claw won, an onlooker, Perlan, a normally sane citizen was so possessed by emotion and desire for the Cup that he leapt the barriers on his faithful rivnak and mercilessly killed the winner!! To this very day, the still shaken Perlan will have nothing to do with the event and has not explained his out-of-character actions.

At the third event, the enki, Kisoji, was so fired up at the desire to be victorious he killed the young and beautiful Sciloy before the referee had said GO!!. Kisoji was eventually put down by the winner, Bonifarzia. He would have been disqualified anyway for his rash actions.

"The Warriors" won the  fourth Cup event, however, the next event was a fiasco. Xitop, one of the organisers, vanished while announcing the event. He was absent for 3 days, and says, " I remember nothing"!!!  Sir Hangatyr,  head referee,  was so overcome it seems, by the Cup's power that he also didn't turn up, leaving the 15 or so fighters who had entered that event scratching their heads in wonder. Rumour has it that he was seen sitting on the banks of the Lake of Tears with his wife, the young and beautiful Keela, sipping expensive wine from " a shiny, bejewelled goblet".

 So, is this famous trophy jinxed? Who knows.  Certainly  time will, as it always does, tell!!!

Congratulations to Kapaiber and The Warriors .... another fine win [6th November]
Grimul.... The Cup Cursed?  get a grip.

I found these few lines on the arena floor. evidently we have a warrior poet in our midst:




                   "Say, what is that sparkle in Dakkru's  eye?
                    'Tis the soul of a warrior, about to die".

[xitop]

 Any other poets out there writing on  Warrior themes? Here is my effort:  "A Warrior's Song"

             As I go about my way through this beautiful land, I hear a bird sing.
            
             From Oja to Gug, Hydlaa to the EBD, it follows me .....
            
             I can hear it now... singing... everywhere... always.


            
             This bird carries my soul.

             So that,

             Should Dakkru take me,


             My soul flies ever free.

Excuses.  A bad craftsman always blames his tools.
