Overlord, Barons, community of DoS, and most importantly, Deluthan :

It is with great sadness that I announce my return to the realm as of this moment. I have taken but the few minutes to read through all the information that has so far been exchanged upon the subject of my challenge match so that I might speak with all facts at hand on the matter. One missive stands out to me amongst all others, however I will put this aside a moment so that I might get to what I believe most of you are interested in. On the
night of August 9th until this very moment, I was delayed by an incident that was quite a surprise to even myself. As I left on Sunday evening to meet with a business associate, it was with every intent to return by that night's end or the afternoon hours of Monday, however.. as business often does, this business went sour. If any of you knew the late Tesla Corbeau, may you now mourn his loss, as his death by my hand has delayed my arrival here.
It was a personal vendetta that I had hoped to avoid, however I am sure the public will not let my business rest in peace, so I offer it forth now to save me the misery of countless accusations. I lead a life outside my career in the rings, a life which is sometimes quite dangerous. I am saddened that these have conflicted, although my life and limb carries more weight to me than my career here. If any of you feel differently, then I applaud your
altruistic, if foolish, devotion. It is my every wish to face the Warlord Deluthan Ev'rt in the ring, to defend the title I have earned and once defended already. I find it a very simple request, to follow the ways of bushido as the honorable and wise Unagi has stated. Allow me to defend my title with my blade, do not allow a trail of papers to decide who fights and wins within these halls. I cannot offer anything up except the truth and my
apology, and let you know my desires. I implore you to consider this as you judge, and with that I must leave my fate and the state of affairs in the rings within the hands of my peers, meaning not only the Council but the community at large.
A bientot,

-- Lucian

::reads the words of the Baron and nods his understanding and support. Taking a moment to snipe at the other missimg participant, he pens a short note::

If yer of a mind Del, I think a rematch is a grand idea, as for the lout Nycholas De Grylington, I think ye should tar and feather that good for nothing. Even if Luci was there, the Reiver was still missing.

::grins and wanders off whistling a duelin tune:::
