In honor of the founder of the Duel of Fists, Head Pussy Panther, a cyclical tournament is held within the Outback to celebrate the rising talent among the brawlers!!! Everyone ranked beneath Emerald is given the opportunity to participate and, without fail, the event is a fantastic night of hard-hitting action!

CHARITY Jewell must have a thing for Grazianos! She was seen chatting up a former winner of the Panther’s Claw title, Miriya Graziano, before the tournament began. The two women share a common interest — racing. Mir is a crew chief for a race team while Jewell’s restaurants sponsors one of her teammate’s no-grav vehicle! We didn’t know this racing stuff was becoming such a big deal. We may have to check it out.

RAT-tastic Napoleon was seen hanging out with SMOKIN’ Sartan and SPEEDY Nova between rounds. The two over grown boys and their over grown rat friend ate cookies while Napoleon sadly recalled the day that someone unknowingly gave him gum! Evidently his fur had bald patches for quite a while after that. Poor Nappy!

…Speaking of SPEEDY Nova, we hear that he was cheering for Luscious Lydia Monday night!!! We’re telling you! There’s something behind this flirtation between the quick-witted neutralizer and the green-haired seamstress! Lydia put up quite the showing, making it several rounds into the tournament before losing to the more experienced RAT-tastic Napoleon!

Blue-Haired Bimbo Harris lectured blue-haired CHARITY Jewell about her masochistic streak! She certainly has seemed on the beaten and bloody side. We’re starting to wonder if there’s something more to it. BHB Harris seems to be wondering the same thing! He seemed a bit worried as he tried to convince Jewell to let him train her so that she doesn’t walk out of a ring limping. Jewell replied that sometimes she goes into a ring TO BE A PUNCHING BAG!!! Red flag, anyone?!?! That girl needs help FAST before she turns into DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy.

Miriya was seen hugging her brother Tony and complaining about not having seen him in forever. Both seemed to be accusing the other of not keeping in touch. There’s been hints of Graziano tension over the past month. We wonder if this is just another sign!!! It’s about that time in the TDL season for some Graziano drama!

We hear that Michelle was on hand to watch Gabe duke it out but Gabe left without saying a word to her!!! That poor girl should just cut her losses and move on already. She seems like such a sweetheart!

By the end of the loooong night of dueling, SUUUUPER Des announced that RAT-tastic Napoleon was the winner! He was quite excited about his loot and headed off with his treats to show off the Claw to his pirate friends.

Congratulations, RAT-tastic Napoelon!

Saturday night in the Red Dragon Inn found Kacey sharing some moonshine and private conversation with Skid! Our sources couldn’t hear much of the conversation which we’ve spanked them appropriately for but they do claim that Skid still doesn’t seem entirely comfortable with the idea of having a kid. Skid was even seen leaving with Kacey!!! Could Skid be tired already of the mother of his child and be ready to move on???

Although Skid was overheard chatting about working on Stitch’s campaign, he wasn’t the only one with a mind on politics. A pretty heavy debate waged between two gubernatorial candidates — Anastas and Wolv. A crowd gathered to listen and join in on their conversation. Those gathered generally agreed that they understood better about where the candidates stood after listening to the exchange of ideas.

Tasha was seen in the Inn with a gentleman who were told is a family friend and a pair of body guards. Rumor is that there was an attempt on the life of another Blood and, hence, the extra security measures. We’re still wondering who is dumb enough to try anything against the will of Blood House Onyx!!! Not us, that’s for sure!!! And just so we remain on their good side, we just want to take this moment to say how DAMN SEXY Tasha is! WAY DAMN SEXY!

….Never said we were brave, did we???

Classy, classy, classy! Two of our FAVORITE RhyDin women were spotted in the Inn Saturday night — Sylvia and Shylah. Both of them were looking their usual degree of brilliance. Sylvia was overheard chatting with Lucky about concerns for her security. We sure hope that she’s okay! We can’t imagine anyone wishing harm on such a lovely woman!

Down in the basement Arena, Duel of Swords Supervisor Chris was seen getting in some hot and heavy action. The Warlord has challenged Baron Xavior for the Dragon’s Gate district so we’re betting he was getting some practice in for the match which is scheduled for Tuesday night at 9 pm. He sure looked real good! Baron Xavior’s got a tough match on his hands!

Is Gabe having a hard time accepting that his wedding with TRASH-tastic Jade is a no-go??? He’s certainly remaining tight-lipped but was working up a serious sweat in the Arena. Dueling’s a great outlet for rage! His friend Michelle (who if you remember correctly he dated prior to TRASH-tastic Jade) was there to watch and console him. He didn’t seem to have much patience for consoling, though. Gabe should wake up! Michelle has always been there for him and she’s a good girl!!! Get your man back, Michelle!
Later into the night, the conversation got a bit…. odd. DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy, MAN-tastic Matt, Hodge, Rory, Speedy Nova, Gimpy Erin, and SMOKIN’ Sartan seemed to get a bit slap happy as the night went on. There wasn’t a lot of dueling but, instead, there was a lot of speculation about liontaur Rakeesh. It seems that the group were quite curious about liontaur sex and just what… uh, instrumentation that Rakeesh used for the practice.

Well, it just so happened that they ran into Rakeesh after the party moved up into the Inn for after-dueling drinks…. and Rakeesh was only too happy to oblige their questions by straightening up on his back paws to…. well, answer their questions. Our sources say it was quite the sight to behold!!!

TRASH-tastic Jade was out in full TRASH-tastic force Saturday night!!! It seems that with Gabe out of the picture, she needs a new man to create delicious drama for yours truly to report. It appears she’s deemed Tyler that man!!! She was in full-on flirt mode with Tyler in the Inn…. to the point that she was calling him “le Ty Ty”. Thank the heavens for little Jade! She makes our job so darn easy.

Steamy HAWT Den Mama Sid was seen behind the bar doing what she does best — making us drooooool and serving drinks! LOVE HER! The bar was quite busy and even Head Pussy Panther had to lend a hand to keep the customers happy!

Tyler was seen later in the night with his frat brother, Dean. Is it just us or do these boys travel in pairs??? It’s probably because they are constantly being accosted by young women!!! Dean was, of course, in the company of his new little HAWTIE Rhy. Cuddling and kissing ensued.

Potter Piper and Peredhil were seen entering the Inn together! Eless cheerfully greeted Peredhil by calling him “Perry” and Peredhil was overheard affectionately referring to Piper as “Pipes”! We LOVE it! Perry and Pipes! How cuuuuute! Needless to say, Perry seemed to be in a wonderfully cheerful mood…. but then who wouldn’t be when accompanied by RhyDin’s most lovely potter?

They joined a grand party around the hearth that included the DIVINE Storm, Eless, and S’jira. The future Mr. Gov Kitty, Tass, was also present and received a hearty round of congratulations from those gathered! The group was in fantastic spirits but, interestingly enough, when Connar entered and was greeted warmly by Eless, he did not join them! In fact, Connar didn’t look much to the group of his friends at all. Could he be stinging that Potter “Pipes” was in the company of another man?!?! Instead, Connar spent his night chatting up a lovely young mystery woman at the bar!

Late into the night, Eless was overheard stating that she was a newly engaged woman! Could it be? Has she given into Bad Boy Wil’s act so easily?!?! Say it ain’t so!!!

Gimpy Erin was spotted hanging out with the Blue-Haired Fiend Harris in the Arena Saturday night after the action had died down. Those two should never be left alone together for any significant amount of time. Our sources claim that later in the evening Erin got into it with Locke over some insult against her “boyfriend” Jake. We’re wondering when Jake hit boyfriend status with her! If they duel, our money’s on Erin! That girl is TEARING up the TDL season. We hear she’s practically a lock for rookie of the year!

Lordy Lordy! Does anyone in this city have planned pregnancies?!?! We think we need to have a class teaching the women of this city how babies are made. Hina was overheard announcing in the middle of the Red Dragon Inn early Tuesday night that she is pregnant with Skid’s baby or babies (as there is a rumor that there may be a small litter)!!! Skid seemed shocked and dismayed. In the future, babies’ mamas-to-be, it’s best not to tell a man that you’re about to have his unexpected child in public!!!

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee was overheard musing over how long it may take for an angel to carry a one half angel,  one quarter demon, one quarter dragon baby! We are just curious to see what that combination looks like!

SUUUUUPER Des cheered us up by appearing behind the bar and chatting with the lovely AJ about marriage and motherhood. It seems that Des and Gav’s little girl will be one in February! My, how time flies! AJ should take lessons from Des. There’s a girl who knows how to have high ambitions in marriage. MARRY ROYALTY! DUMP THE BUM!

Amber showed up a short time later to relieve Des, apologizing that she was running late. It seems that poor Amber took a nasty spill into the pond — ice skates and all!!! We’re so glad that she’s okay! She’s such a doll!

Although, TRASH-tastic Jade was seen chatting about her wedding with Gabe on Friday, she was seen back in the company of old boyfriend, Michale, on Tuesday! These two need to make this girl make a final decision already! Gabe or Michale??? Michale or Gabe??? This has been going on for faaaar too long!

Our sources reported back that the Outback and Twilight Island were relatively quiet. Mini-Frank Cor and Wyh Not called duels in the Outback for the likes of dangerous Raye and Steamy Sartan while Venom Vinny was on duty chatting with Kyndra who just returned after a long absence. Welcome back, Kyndra!

In the Inn’s basement Arena, the Baroness of Dragon Gate Aya Hayashibara had to defend her title against Xavior Mues! The troublesome Imp brought his grabby hands to call the single duel format challenge. The Baroness didn’t stand much of a chance. Xavior came hard hitting out of the gates and won by a total of 5-1 in six short rounds. Xavior did not announce an alignment to Overlord Roland, stating that he needed some time to consider the matter.

Congratulations, Xavior!

It’s been a long time. We shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to.  So why don’t we just skip the tired excuses and get right down to the nitty gritty???

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee was seen “entertaining” another male companion Friday evening but he faired about as well as the rest. She was clearly not interested in the demon and he wasn’t keen on taking no for an answer. We bet he disappears and no one ever hears from him again. That woman is a man eater!!!

TRASH-tastic Jade and her little love muffin Gabe were seen chatting about their upcoming nuptials which will evidently take place in two months. Two months?!?! You’ve got to be kidding us!!! That’s a lifetime in Jade-world. Our favorite odds-maker says that the chance that these two actually make it down the aisle is so remote that he refuses to put odds on it!!! We don’t blame him!!!

Brale Brother Baker was seen harrassing (in his usual hilarious way) a young beauty named Miranda. Evidently Baker didn’t approve of her “one and done” philosophy towards dating. According to Baker, you must sample everything before you can decide what you want. We’re not quite sure how Our Evie should fee about that.

It seems that Phillipe can’t provide for his wife-to-be! Adrianna was seen in tears while Phillipe attempted to console her chatting to their mutual friend Soerl about being evicted from their home. It seems not only were they evicted but Phillipe is also without a job. Sheesh, girl! This is RhyDin! Don’t you know you’re supposed to marry some independently wealthy royal??? Dump the bum! Bag a count!

Alysia was overheard taking offense to someone in the crowd calling orcs “foul beasts”. We’re not really sure why she took offense to the insult but Alysia’s definitely the type to look for a fight just for the sake of a fight. Guthorm seemed to agree. He was overheard saying that Alysia eats orcs for breakfast! We’re certainly not surprised!!! She replied that she only eats them if they’re well-seasoned as, otherwise, the meat is too tough. Iiiiinteresting woman, that’s for sure!

Soerl was seen in the Inn’s basement Arena chatting up a slight woman who we’re told goes by the name Dritta!!! The pair dueled and flirted it up in one of Teagan’s rings. Teagan’s rings always seem to spark some sort of carnal pleasure! The witty Dritta certainly seemed to catch Soerl’s eye! We wonder if this means his Van is on the outs now!!!

TRASH-tastic Jade finally found a man who is on her level! This one is an all-brawn/no-brain orc named Koruush! He brought her the gift of two bloodied troll heads (…uh, ew?) but Michale came in and claimed that TRASH-tastic Jade was his girl!!! WHAT?!?! Does his little vampire hunter know this??? Jade and Michale were certainly QUITE cuddly and lovey dovey! Later Gabe came in claiming that Jade was his! Bah, this is a love triangle that even we are getting sick of…. so we’re rooting for the orc! Get your girl, Koruush!

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee was seen chatting with Anastas who turned down her advances!!! He will NOT be the next victim of the succubus! …but really he’s the only one. Evidently Anastas didn’t believe Kairee was of the right race which would lead their future children to be confused over their heritage. Kairee, on the other hand, seemed stunned!!! That’s some funny stuff. We like this Anastas guy!

Connar was seen catching up with Keeper Wyh Not in the Inn late into the evening but he was darting some meaningful glances Eless’s way!!! When our sources snuck out last night they hurried back to us to tell us that the pair were chatting together laaate into the evening. Do we smell a reunion?!?! We wonder what Wil thinks of this???

WHORE-acious Erin was seen dueling Jordan in the Inn’s basement Arena Saturday night! She took a solid win over him but he seemed more than a little distracted by her… uh, assets (and by “assets” we’re not referring to her mean high cut) during the duel!!! While Jordan was keeping an eye on Erin, Jinx was keeping an eye on Jordan! She certainly seemed to want to eat him up. But really who wouldn’t?!?! Plus, Jinx seems so full of sexual energy that it doesn’t matter if you’re male, female, or furry, she’ll do ya!

Edible Elly was AGAIN seen with a chainsaw!!! Someone take that away from the little witch! PLEASE! That’s the bad news but the good news was that the girl was rocking some pretty fierce make-up. She’s is smooooking HAWT!!!

TRASH-tastic Jade and her equally classless friend Casidy started Saturday night the same way Jade ended Friday night — in the Inn drinking waaaaaay too much. This is somebody’s mother, people!!! Her life has turned into SUCH the train wreck!!! Gabe was again present but he certainly didn’t appear happy with her behavior. We’ve got a bet down that he doesn’t put up with this much longer!!!

Panther was spotted behind the bar in the Inn again slinging drinks and keeping the patrons happy! Man, is that HAWT!!! We like our tenders tall, dark, and furry!!!

Our sources were a bit distracted from their Panther gawking as Soerl came in with Savannah. There was nothing too lovey dovey about the couple but they did have a looooong conversation. Is Savannah forgetting those “amazing” kisses already???

The basement Arena was huuuumming with duels Saturday night and G’naught G’nort was the caller on duty! G’nort spent some time flirting with Frenchy AJ… which really, in itself, isn’t a big surprise but AJ was pretty flirty in return!!! We’re thinking that her man Phillipe might be a bit hot under the collar over this!!!

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee and her new “friend” Beowulf were again spotted together! This time they were hanging out and flirting in the Arena! Kairee certainly knows how to keep her options open. We’re quite certain that her man servant Julien will have something to say about this!

The lovely but poorly named Hodge caught the eye of a old-time duelist in Rix!!! He actually stuck around for a couple hours to attempt to seduce her with some bad pick-up lines. No go!!! We don’t think Hodge was thrilled with Rix. No worries. We’re sure he has a half dozen dueling groupies to keep his bed warm at night!!!

The comedy relief came early Friday night in the Red Dragon Inn! Brale Brother Baker and OUR DoD-er Evie were doing what they do best — drinking ale and making the other patrons laugh (either with them or at them… we don’t think they care which). Evie and Baker are still claiming that Evie’s pregnant and we’re still praying that they’re pulling our legs. Even TRASH-tastic Jade, Lang, and The Gov Kitty seemed a bit appalled at the idea of this pair reproducing!

And then the night took an even odder turn (if that is at all possible) when Baker proposed to Eve using a rubber washer as a ring. The pair then immediately began talking about creating their gift registry.

….there aren’t many times when we just don’t know what to type but we must admit that this is one of those times. We suppose congratulations are in order… but, honestly, we’ll believe it when we see Evie walking down the aisle with an ale mug instead of a bouquet and the pair performing brale/dale in front of a minister instead of the ring exchange. Either way, we better get an invite to this shindig!!!

We last reported that Cutie Savannah was seen hanging out with Jason A. and it seems that she was quite taken by him! She was overheard by our sources spilling to Phillipe about just how “amazing” it was to be kissed by Jason A.!!! PUPPY LOVE ALERT!!! Too freaking cute!!!

Evie and Baker weren’t the only ones celebrating! Icer was surrounded by friends as she celebrated her birthday!!! It appears that TRASH-tastic Jade seemed to believe that she needed to do the drinking for her friend. Jade proceeded to get utterly WASTED while her on-again/off-again man, Gabe, looked on glumly. Icer didn’t seem to mind. She was too thrilled by the BEAUTIFUL necklace that her hubby Aurthur got her! Wives are so easy to please on their birthdays if you know the one simple rule to giving them gifts. Expensive jewelry = Everlasting love! Men! Learn it! Love it! Live it!

Dueling in the basement Arena started off with a hilarious twist as well!!! Baron of the Seaside District Damien faced off against Baroness of Dragon’s Gate Aya with Mini Frank Cor calling!!! Let us tell you, this was a battle of complete opposites! Tough, straight-laced Aya did not seem to find drunkard Damien the least bit amusing!!! She was even unhappier when she only managed to put one point on the board against the stumbling wino!

Really, it was a night of comedy! Shame on you for not being out to witness it!

We are now proud to present your SIXTEENTH Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled –

SPOTTED:

- Piper overheard telling DoD-er Rena and WHORE-acious Erin that she is marrying Stitch and that they’re having a litter of Jackalettes. Stitch, according to our sources, appeared more than a little overwhelmed! We have attempted to assure our sources that Piper was being sarcastic but they are sticking to their guns!!! We still don’t buy it and believe Piper was making a funny!!! ….but we only report the gossip so you’ll have to decide for yourselves!

- Phillipe all gaga over his new girlfriend AJ who he is DESPERATELY in love with (Gag us with a spoon!) . He seemed in heaaaaven when she threatened to kick some drunks’ rear ends for fighting in the Inn. What is with the men of this city? Why are they soooo into over aggressive women?

- WHORE-acious Erin being decent for a change by tending to poor, sweet Kacey who somehow broke her hand in the chaotic crowd that Erin, who was tending bar, just couldn’t seem to keep under control.

- some Alex-on-Alex action!!! The male Alex was seen kissing the female Alex and then the female Alex was seen kissing the male Alex’s partner in crime — The Other OTHER Other Woman Lain! Deadbeat Dad Alex reaaaally has something special. We have no idea what it is but he’s sure got a pull with the ladies! Kissing Bandit Alex does as well!!! Her lips have been on half the patrons of the Inn and Arena!

- SMASHING Issy enjoying a bowl of soup and some bread. She seemed a bit introverted and spent her meal watching the crowd. That poor woman always seems to have a lot on her mind!

- TRASH-tastic Jade being her usual trashy self! Not only was she letting her young daughter hang out at the bar for an extended period of time but she proceeded to have a long talk with Michale about her love troubles with Gabe RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER! Le sigh. That kid’s probably already screwed up.

- Daniel introducing a lovely dark-haired woman named Sorcha around to the Inn’s patrons as a “family friend”. We don’t believe that for a HAWT MINUTE!!! Those two appeared awfully chummy!

- G’naughty G’nort looking like he’d just taken a big bite of sour candy when WHORE-acious Erin told him that she’d hired Alain and Robert to be a part of the TDL team that the pair co-own!!! We’re so EXCITED about TDL season!!! We can barely contain ourselves!

- A breathless Soerl rushing into the basement Annex to tell DoD-er Rena that he was concerned for Topaz as there was a man looking for Topaz and her husband Lucien. DoD-er Rena didn’t seem all that concerned and assured Soerl that Lucien is bad ass enough to take care of whatever threat might be looming. We HEART Rena!

- Wyh Not brushing off the rust from her magic spells during Fight Night in the Annex! It’s so good to see her in a ring again!

We are now proud to present your THIRTEENTH Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled –

SPOTTED:

- TRASH-tastic Jade hanging all over her ex Michale. Our sources are saying these two are a couple…. again. Did he not learn the last time??? At least Gabe is smart enough to be done with this woman. Le sigh!

- Delivery Guy Chris who evidently remembered FINALLY how to get to the Inn!!! He was seen chatting with Den Mama Sid who seemed quite upset over losing something. Our sources never did figure out what. However, the commonly held opinion of the night was that it was very disconcerting to see Sid so… off.

- Kaspar and Lang snuggling in the late hours of the night in the Inn. We suppose we can officially say that Wolv is out and Lang is in now!!! This guy smells a bit dirty to us. We’re not so sure about this match.

- Rhy, the chick Lang dumped to cuddle with Kaspar, in the Inn earlier in the evening with a new man of her own. She certainly wasn’t teary-eyed that night!

- DoD-er Charlie warning HEIFER Jewell to never touch her again!!! We’re not huge fans of those dark and deadly types like DoD-er Charlie but we have to totally HEART her for threatening HEIFER Jewell. Charlie also exchanged words with Lydia but it wasn’t clear over what the subject matter was about. HAWT!!!

- another dark and deadly type in Raye, chatting up some of the ladies. She’s another one that we wouldn’t turn our back on after insulting her! She’d slice and dice!!!

- DoD-er Rena seeming a bit under the weather! DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy even stayed out of the rings of the Outback to keep an eye on her. We hear you! A Monday went by without Koy fighting??? No, pigs did not fly. Quite iiiinteresting, though!

- Max fighting Anubis for the Firestar Opal with SUUUUUPER Des (who had her faithful Gav at her side) keeping track of points!!! Max couldn’t take down the current Firestar holder and Anubis took the win in two closely fought matches! Congratulations, Anubis!
