Sob Story Saturday!

We hear that there was a group of people in the Red Dragon Inn Saturday night. Evidently they seemed to know each other but we have no idea who they are. If they last in this town more than five minutes we’ll make the effort to have our sources learn their names and back stories. Unfortunately, this city has a way of chewing up new people and spitting them out on their asses. Only the strong survive, baby!

While the Inn was moderately busy, the Arena was PACKED with some of dueling’s finest as they watched the Madness duels go down!

Kalinda is excruciatingly close to making herself a warlord and she is NOT giving up! Despite the Old Temple Squire’s loss in her very first challenge match the night before, Kalinda was back in action Saturday night trying to get those last needed wins. As soon as she hit fourteen wins over losses, though, she started to stumble. She followed it up with a tie and then a loss, dropping her back down to thirteen. What a bummer! So close! If we can’t have an exotic dancer in the ranks of the barons, we’d love to have one strutting her stuff in the Warlord Tournaments!

Ewan and the Divine Mrs Storm showed up to watch their dear friend, Sylvia, in her Madness match against the Baron Neo! We hear that Ewan wasn’t all that thrilled that Sylvia was dueling. Such a bummer because we hear that Sylvia really has some talent! Unfortunately all that promise wasn’t enough to help her best one of the Arena’s best. Sylvia was, of course, completely gracious about her loss while Neo seemed completely surprised about his win. We hear that Storm and Sylvia chatted for a while but Ewan remained silent and sullen. He evidently had hardly a word to say. Wow! All grumpy just over a duel??? Maybe there’s more to this issue between Ewan and Storm that we’re missing!

Our sources tell us that Wolvie was spotted in the Arena. No lie! How odd is that??? To make matters worse we hear that he was having a very flirtatiously combative conversation with that Silver chick. You know what we mean by “flirtatiously combative”??? Where the pair seem to be arguing but it begins to sound like they’d much rather be tearing the clothes off one another. Wow. We knew that Wolvie was the type that you had to keep a close eye on. We’re pretty shocked to see him being so flirtatious in public while the last time we saw his bride-to-be she was looking for wedding dresses. Could there be trouble in paradise???

Poor Sylus got cornered by some girl wanting to tell him her life’s story. Sylus, on the other hand, just seemed interested in catching up with some of his old friends. He was nice as always but just didn’t seem to be in the mood for a sob story. Eventually, she took the hint and left him alone to catch up with Anne who also recently returned to town. Our sources reported back to us that there’s a little bit of chemistry between the pair! It would be sort of cool to see the two formerly dead (or currently dead?) people settle down!

Maybe Mini-Frank Cor has took the hint and dumped the slaver’s newest prize! He certainly seemed back to his usual flirtatious self as he was calling duels on Saturday night. We hear that Sai was trying to hook him up with Kattria who made a point of mentioning that she did at one time have a thing for M-F Cor and tried to make her move on him but the flirting went over M-F Cor’s head at the time. Big surprise there. Anyway, M-F Cor was pretty bummed to have missed out on those signals.

If M-F Cor wants a second chance at her, he’s going to have to work at it because Kattria definitely has a thing for Kalamere. She was overheard talking to Jaycy later into the night about how Maria warned her off of Kalamere. Reeeeaaaally? We reported yesterday that Kalamere and Maria have a dinner date but we didn’t think it was anything serious particularly since Maria spent most of Saturday night at Tical’s side. Why would she threaten Kattria to stay away from Kalamere??? The whole thing is a little unusual. We just can’t WAIT to see how this thing plays out!

Broken Nose Saturday!

OMG. Where in the world does Playboy Shane find these ridiculous tramps? He was spotted at the bar Saturday night at the Red Dragon Inn waiting for Brandon to join him for some boozing and in the company of that purple-haired elf named Ceri. Evidently Ceri can tie cherry stems into knots with her tongue and decided that was a trick that Playboy Shane needed to see. Really, ladies? No self-respecting woman ties cherry stems into knots. Just so you know when you do stuff like that you move from potential girlfriend material to one-night stand zone. Despite what you think men do dig class. We hear that when Brandon did show and that Ceri had no chance after that. All Brandon and Shane talk about when they’re together is their bromance. They don’t have time for chicks.

The ladylike behavior (or lack thereof) did not improve, unfortunately, as they night went on. Shadow, Darcy’s man, was making some really over the top flirtatious comments to her that seemed to be making even Mega Mom Icer uncomfortable. Somehow those flirtatious comments led to a full blown fight between Shadow and Darcy. He actually picked her up and carried her out of the Inn with her cussing up a storm along the way. He evidently dumped her in a pile of snow outside the Inn and the pair went running off after one another. We’re starting to think that there isn’t an adult relationship in this city.

There was a lot of dueling Saturday night in the Arena! It seemed everybody was out and ready to battle in the rings! Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan did NOT seem to be in the mood for dueling but she did seem to be in the mood for violence. We hear that S.P.G. Teagan’s girlfriend Joey told her that Anubis had struck her and that S.P.G. Teagan was LIVID! Teagan stormed off while Joey waited with Misty while Misty tried to reach some healer friend to take care of Joey’s face. We’re just telling you right now. This isn’t going to end pretty.

Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Crazy Train Tara were seen going another round about the very same man. We hear that C.T. Tara said publicly in the Arena that anybody who goes after Anubis would have to answer to her. People began taking sides and none of them chose C.T. Tara’s! We hear that even Chryrie said that she would protect L.L. Lucien at all costs even if that meant protecting her from C.T. Tara. Wow! Those are some harsh words! Queen of Class Sylvia tried to keep the peace but the peace was too far gone. C.T. Tara punched L.L. Lucien in the face which broke his nose and then she stormed out. Sylvia and Rekah were on hand to assist Chryrie as she set the broken nose but we hear that poor L.L. Lucien was in a lot of pain. What in the world has gotten into C.T. Tara? She’s taken this “stand by your man” crap a little too far, hasn’t she? After all, the man she’s standing beside is MARRIED and a pretty awful dude to boot.

Deathcake Saturday!

Come on. You know we aren’t the only ones who consider boarding up our windows and shoving pieces of furniture against the doors every time Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Awesome Alain are seen with their heads together in the Red Dragon Inn! It seems to be a the headquarters for those two to attempt to figure out a way to save RhyDin from whatever mess she’s gotten herself into this time. Probably because whatever scheme they come up with is so dangerous that they need large amounts of alcohol to work themselves into going through with it. We have no idea what they were planning but they were clearly up to something!

One of our absolute favorites, Den Mama Sid, was behind the bar doing her tending gig! She had quite a lengthy chat with her dear friend Queen of Class Sylvia. Anybody else have a feeling that those two lovely ladies created quite the stir back in the day??? We just have a feeling that they were total troublemakers together. Anyway, these days at least Q.O.C. Sylvia seems quite settled. They spoke of visiting together with their children in the spring. Man, how we’d like an invitation to THAT party!

Well, it appears that after ticking off most of the dueling community for some… well, pretty incendiary comments, Guill is trying to get his priorities in order. He was seen calling Saturday night in the Arena and had his very pregnant wife, Timora, at his side. His primary focus was definitely on her and making sure she was comfortable. We hear that he has even taken a break from challenging in order to concentrate on his growing family. Good for him! More men need to take a step back from their careers and keep an eye on the homefront!

The Arena was quiet enough to allow Guill a little quality time with his wifey because there was a tag team tournament ongoing in the Arena for the Tour that attracted quite the who’s who in the dueling world. Despite the big names that showed up and the fact that it seemed CrushBob had the advantage by the sheer number of teams they had entered, it was Rowdy Rekah and Thorne representing Deathcake who remained standing at the end of the night. How fantastic! We HEART a good underdog (no pun intended) story!

Congratulations to Rowdy Rekah and Thorne!

Although, the dueling was definitely the main event of the night, our sources did catch something fantastically entertaining! Evidently after their duel, the Overlord Tical was seen KISSING one of his loyal baronesses. And, nope, it wasn’t Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan. It was fellow Crew member, Maria! We told you! Crew fans had dismissed that long time rumor about the two of them but it seems that now that they’re both single they’re not hiding anything! You’re hearing it here first because we’re told that even Ria seemed surprised when she caught the degree of friendliness that seems to exist between the pair. Iiiinteresting! Coming on the heels of her divorce, we have to ask, of course, is the Overlord a home wrecker???

Queen of Saturday!

We here at the Den of Gossip feel there is great gossip potential in Lilli. Yet, we’re ashamed to say that we don’t know much of her dating past or present. We are determined to rectify that! It certainly helps our cause when her family is around, that’s for sure! Saturday night she was seen hanging out with her brother, Brishen, and her brother’s girl, Niamh. Much to Brishen’s dismay, Niamh asked Lilli who was “ploughin’ [her] furrows”. Niiiiiice! We should hire this girl! Unfortunately, Lilli was very vague. She said only that he was rich and handsome and refused to give her brother his name. Could it be Zev? She has been spotted with him on multiple occasions. Of note as well is that Brishen advised his sister that it might just be time that he buy a ring to place on Niamh’s hand. Uh… you think???

Awesome Alain was seen hand-in-hand with an old “friend” (and we do use that word loosely) of ours, Sophie Rhovnik. Rumor has it that the pair have been spending quite some time together since she arrived in town. They have similar business interests which has some worried and some intrigued by the possible match. We hear that there’s already a push from some for them to marry to create a powerful merger of families which is exactly what has the rest worried. We still seriously doubt that Awesome Alain even understands the concept of settling down.

How adorable! It seems that Awful Ali, The Many Faces of Fio, Manly Mason, and Doc Eva are bonding over a common love for Lil’ Bit Lirssa! Those two couples seem like they would make such an interesting double date, don’t they??? T.M.F.O. Fio invited Manly Mason and Doc Eva over for an evening much to L.B. Lirssa’s delight. Interestingly enough, we feel like the pair of them probably have a lot in common… more than just L.B. Lirssa. We could totally see this turning into an excellent friendship!

So much for all you naysayers trying to tell us that Dean is a good guy and really is in love with his girlfriend, Quinn. There’s no denying he was seen at the bar drinking and having a very intimate conversation with a lovely blonde elf named Susan. Our sources swear up and down that they’ve never seen him open up to his girlfriend the way he was opening up to this Susan chick. Iiiinteresting! Word has it that Quinn did make her way in later and met Susan. Quinn was gracious (or naive) as always. We just don’t trust this guy.

Our sources insist that they spot Sylvia in a ring in the Arena Saturday night while Guill was calling. We just didn’t believe them so Intern Hot to Trot checked the official dueling standings and… what do you know??? She is indeed listed on the standings! We have to admit that we’re a little thrilled about this! The Queen of Class Sylvia with a sword in her hand taking on the big boys of the Arena??? It’s kind of HAWT! We’d love to lay eyes on it ourselves. Did anybody else catch this???

Chryrie hasn’t died! We were starting to hear some unsubstantiated rumors that the reason Chryrie hadn’t been around was that she had been killed and that Krazy Kitty and Psycho Skid were keeping it a secret until they could find her murderer. It seems those were nothing but LIES! Chryrie was seen looking quite alive in the Arena, watching the duels and enjoying the company. Psycho Skid seemed quite pleased to see that she was out in public and laid quite the series of kisses on her. Even Sullen Sal got in on the joy. Chryrie covered him in dust from her wings and he spent some time… licking it off of himself. That boy is just damn strange. There are no other words for it.

Lord of Death Friday!

Hilarious Harris certainly seems to be getting awfully close with that pretty Rumiko chick. The pair were seen spending time together at the bar in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night. In fact, they were seen talking  quietly to one another with their heads together. Rumiko was also seen showing off her experimental weapons to Harris who, really, doesn’t need anything but his fists to be dangerous. The couple that bonds together over weapons LASTS!!!

Speaking of getting awfully close, Brale Brother Reap and Renna were definitely looking a bit cozy in one another’s company! Renna actually seemed to be flirting with B.B. Reap and at first it seemed B.B. Reap was either clueless or not interested. In fact, our sources say that they overheard him saying that he was there for the ale, not the girls.  He’s one sly dawg, though!!! We’re pretty sure he was working her over. If B.B. Reap manages to somehow get Renna into bed, it would be a major accomplishment… one that probably would end up with his untimely demise but a major accomplishment nonetheless!

We’re hearing a lot about this Scotty guy and one of our sources was able to spot him unofficially tending bar laaaate into the night. He was overheard talking about his engagement to a guy named Harold and evidently unofficially tends bar some nights to help raise the capital for their wedding. Cute! We hear that the pair are indeed quite cute together. And we must admit that it’s suddenly odd to hear of boy-on-boy cuteness after so many months of the boy-on-boy raw sexual dirtiness of Deliciously Sinful Sin and Sullen Sal. Good luck to the pair of them!

There was quite the little gathering late into the night at the bar. Our sources saw Chief Mischief Maker Eless and Queen of Class Sylvia hanging out and having some drinks with Manly Mason and Doc Eva. It seems that they all very much approve of the new guy in their friend Real Estate Mogul  Rena’s life! She’s evidently been spending quite a bit of time with Rico and her friends are quite happy with the fact and that he seems to have quite a bit of patience with R.E.M. Rena… who you have to admit is awfully unlucky in love!

The Arena was a busy place to be Friday night because quite the crowd came out to witness the challenge match between the Baron of New Haven Tormay Eludes and some scary dude named Deathlord. It’s a bit of a unique challenge situation so let us see if we can explain it. You see, Tormay challenged the Overlord and the Overlord decided to test him to see if he was worthy of challenging (as is the Overlord’s right under the challenge rules). The renegade Baroness Rena wasn’t pleased with the test so she stepped in on Tormay’s behalf to face the tester, Deathlord. Well, Deathlord beath Rena and then he went on to beat Tormay so that the Overlord never had to step into the ring. Well, in this rare circumstance, Deathlord now had the right to issue challenge to Tormay even thought Deathlord wasn’t a warlord and Deathlord wasted no time in doing just that! The pair put off the challenge until Friday night but they met for a clash against the Baron Tormay and Deathlord who wasn’t even on the standings!

Quite the crowd gathered to witness it go down!

The Baron’s squire, Neo, stood as his second to watch the event go down but it was his ex-girlfriend, Slutty Pirate Teagan, who was raising our sources’ eyebrows! It seems she was seen chatting it up with Kelathe who has had some tense interactions with another of S.P. Teagan’s exs, Jaycy, in recent days. The enemy of my enemy is my friend??? We can’t help but wonder if they’re busy planning some sort of delicious revenge against Lil’ Black Book Jaycy! You can’t go running around  RhyDin sleeping with whomever you like without hurting some feelings along the way. The amount of drama in your life is directly proportionate to the number of people you’re sleeping with at any given time. Trust us!

Are there problems in the usually tight Crew??? It certainly seemed like it! Maria and Tical were seen having a pretty heavy chat. Our sources were quite curious about what it may be about. However, considering she decided to declare loyal against a known nemesis of the Crew in the Overlord, we would bet money on that being the contention between the pair. It definitely didn’t look like a happy-go-lucky sort of conversation!

Our Darling Taneth’s actions were causing some eyebrows to be raised, including those of Awful Ali and The Many Faces of Fio (yep, they were indeed seen in the Arena!) and Deliciously Sinful Sin. It seems she was seen watching her hubby duel and was acting quite aggressively and… well, un-Taneth-like. Plus, there was just one of her which seems a bit odd considering she’s been bouncing around RhyDin as twins for quite a while. As for Awful Ali and T.M.F.O. Fio, they didn’t stick around long but we’re still holding out hope that we may see at least Awful Ali in a ring. How hot would that be???

Rowdy Rekah and Sullen Sal were both also on hand cheering on Tormay! We hear that they were overheard planning on how to take out the challenger’s league of supporters and that Rowdy Rekah was seen IN Sullen Sal’s lap. Really??? We think Awful Ali allows her to spend entirely too much time with Sullen Sal!

Baron Tormay took the first duel in a best of three match but his challenger, Deathlord, answered with back-to-back wins of his own. In the end, he emerged victorious and became the new Baron of New Haven! Hahaha! Funny, right??? The most uppity, snotty district in the whole city now has a dude called Deathlord residing in the Swords’ Barony mansion. That can’t be good for porperty values!

Congratulations, we guess, Deathlord!

Down in the Annex, regular dueling continued despite the challenge. We hear that Misty was seen sniffling and in tears while crying. No idea what that was about but Sivanna stepped in and consoled her. Then she went to have some terse words with Kelathe. Could Kel have hurt Misty’s feelings??? It’s hard to imagine anyone having an unkind word for Misty!!! We sure hope that Simmerin’ Sivanna gave Kel a piece of her mind!
