Baron Lupton,

You killed my love last summer when you were a Baron. He was a common man. I vowed then I would do all in my power to prevent you from becoming a Baron. I learned how to duel. I became of the warlord ranks. I have the peer wins. If Bapheloc doesnt rip you to shreads I will do my utmost to personally make you pay. I announce my entry into a Queue to take your ring.

Incidently, it is a small bonus that you took the ring from my TDL captain and I may do her some justice as well. I also do not care about losing my right to challenge if Bapheloc wins because you dear Lupton are the sole reason I learned to duel and here is the time I get my chance.

Gloria,

I do read the notice of your challenge with unrestrained joy and bliss. I will arrange to meet ye as soon as possible after Baphelocutis with the same skill I used to remove the useless and generally unused head of your spouse which later burned in the basement's fire place.

Let us present the facts, however. Your husband, in a blind rage from the truthfulness of my statements, challenged me to a match to the death. He then drew forth a sword which hailed the name of "Sword of Immortal Slaying" and attempted to attack me. Gnimish Gnimoi officiated the duel, and in his attempt to slay me, your love was killed. Heart of the matter is, I acted in self defense.

The commoner quirks a brow as she comes upon Lupton's missive and remembers the events of that long ago evening.

Baron Lupton,

If memory serves, it was thee who didst bait the gentleman into a rage, casting insult upon insult until thee had succeeded in luring the man to draw blade upon thee. Thou knewest he was unskilled in the ways of the dance. T'was then thou did laugh, most raucously and, with the gnome, did, with heinous disdain for the fallen man's courage in facing thine blade, show an utter and distinct disrepect for the body of he whom thou so blithely and with
malice and treachery had lured to his demise, e'en unto spitting upon the bloody corpse.

What courage, what boldness, what honor, Baron.

Signed boldly.

Warlord Gloria,

I am sadden to see your own pain upon the actions of Baron Lupton. I shall endevor even more so to try and remove him from his titled rank with added incentive of your own loss. Forgive me though if I would rather assume the glory of humilating him myself for I too feel as equally justified.


Honor to thyself, Respect to others,
