I am a bit hesitant to post stats, since I know one other person
from Ritzab reads the group.  Is it not a tactical disadvantage
to reaveal this kind of stuff?

Thing that pisses me off is the bastard didn't learn a goddamn thing.
And in the next turn, I have to blood fued the scum that killed
another of my players.

I certainly do not intend to try to advance too fast.

Yeah, but it was still sort of nice.  Seems that popularity OUGHT to
count for something.

Five fights.

One guy whipped his opponent without the other guy even swinging.

One of my big guys was KILLED by someone with a quarterstaff and
no armor.

The five minute fight that I lost was real close, and I think
I almost won.  Just not quite enough will power I guess.

The other fight was a close three minute affair that had a lot
of damage on both sides, but I won.

Finally, I had another big guy that got whipped by someone with
a quarterstaff and no armor.  At least he did not die.
