Pissing off women on a Wednesday 101 - brought to you by G'nort

Slutty Jade was up to what appears her usual trick -- picking up men -- in a pair of shorts that were just simply atrocious. At least she has good taste in men even if she doesn't in clothing. Wednesday night's man of choice? The HAWT Michael. She kept a steady stream of Badsiders in front of him and he kept a steady gaze on her derri?re. Yet, Jade's man's attention was lost when the LOVELY and CLASSY Cieara took a seat beside him.

...But that's what these women don't understand. Men would prefer a little less skank. Our FLAWLESS Koy must be sleeping on the job! Teach these girls the way!!!

Stephen's little brother, Robert, was belly up to the bar drinking a disgusting mixture of rum and gunpowder. Ugh. We have to stop there. The thought of that drink makes us gag every time we think about it.

Wednesday night was the start of the wonderfaul and faaaabulous Iron Fists League! Much dueling was to be had in the Iron Fists Garden for the defaults of Roshambo vs. Shots of Decadence and Great of Strength vs Get Up Mercury!

Our sources had little gossip to report other than to mention that Stephen showed up with Jewell but didn't quite seem comfortable around her new friends. Also, our sources mentioned that a drugged-out and sluttacious Charlie was seen arguing with her partner/boss G'nort. In the end, both stormed away from the conversation. That girl is toooootally cruising for a trip to rehab!

Evidently one pissed off bad ass woman wasn't enough for G'nort as he followed up his argument with Charlie for a trip to the Outback where he quickly got into a match and another insult-fest with newcomer Cheyenne. Now if you haven't seen Cheyenne plan a trip to the Outback for next week! She's a total DoD-style, sluttacious, bad ass vixen and she certainly wasn't taking any crap from G'nort! Sartan looked on and snickered in delight as G'nort and the sluttacious Cheyenne had it out!

An IFL Thursday!!!

Both Jewell and Stephen seemed a bit out of sorts while talking in hushed tones at the bar Thursday evening. Could this be because of the news that Skylar's grave is suddenly deserted? That's what our money's on! What do you think? Is it magic? Are there grave robbers at work? Did the gnomes from GnomCorp return to body snatching to conduct their experiments? Or... is he BACK?!?!

Anybody else humming "My boyfriend's back and I'm gonna be in trouble!"

Classy Cieara had a handsome elf-looking redhead in tow with her by the name of Karenthesis. WHAT A HAWTIE! Cieara seems to have a fine eye not just for clothing but also for devastatingly sexy man meat! The pair made quite the couple canoodling and sharing a bottle of wine.

Jade is a walking mess. This girl is crying out for an intervention. Instead, she's surrounded by enablers. Thursday night is was Reap who was encouraging her skankness by getting her absolutely wasted. At one point she even fell on the floor. HEAD SMACK!

Good Boy Cor and the brunette twin Spice were spotted together once again in the Inn exchanging some clearly flirtatious smiles! Our sources tell us that they've been spotted quite frequently in one another's company. In fact, reports have it that Cor was seen with a brunette at the Pegasi races this past weekend. Are the pair just friends or is there something more there???

Late in the evening Connar was spending a bit more time with sweet Elessaria! They exchanged sweet words, charming compliments, and romantic glances! We HEART Spring flirting!

It was the second night of action at Iron Fists Garden and we're still just as excited! FLAWLESS Koy looked amazing and captained her team towards a victory. Her star dueler HAWT Tarl was there and smashed through the competition. There was a full contingent of the Wrecking Crew present including two of the Graziano kids -- Maria and Chris -- along with Maria's husband Bode and one of RhyDin's hottest fathers, Kheld. Maria seemed a bit confused as she thought it was TDL season and Chris seemed more occupied with playing with his rat-buddy Napoleon. Among all that distraction, Jake's Badside Brawlers were able to best the Crew.

The Arena was pretty active in its own right! Most people were too busy dueling to create delicious gossip. However, our sources did once again spot Taneth and Max hanging out together. Those two suuuure seem cuddly!

Taneth Lovin' Friday

Jade wandered into the Inn in her typical get-up whining about yours truly calling her a "slut" and promising never to flirt with another man again. How long do you think that'll last? While sniffling to Icer, she also dropped the names of several men she's gone home with in recent nights. Claaaassy. The correct answer, by the way, is about fifteen minutes when HAWTIE Michael stepped through the door.

Jade's polar opposite, a girl who knows how to dressy sexy without dressy skanky -- Cute Single Erin -- came in shortly after in the most lovely green dress with a cinch waist and flaring out at the knee. She just screamed SPRING with her cute little sandals and the flower stuck in her hair. LOVELY!

As further proof of how the un-skanky dress, the devastatingly brunette Charna graced the Inn with her presence. That woman is straight from the hot end of the gene pool. A completely DROOL worthy babe! She cuddled with Kina (who is evidently Charna's matron-of-honor) and dished about wedding plans.

THE DRUNK IS BACK!!! It appears that Damien is back in town and fighting in the Arena. More importantly, though, it seems that his sober days are long behind him. He was dueling an awful lot of warlords. Could everybody's favorite Arena lush be thinking of making another run at a title??? We do hope he write his own challenge letters! Those are utterly priceless!

Sluttacious beer spokesmodel PJ had a tense conversation with her best friend's brother and her former "flavor of the month" Gavin. Tense words were exchanged in the Inn's basement Arena between the pair!!! Oh la la! He certainly has that bad boy vibe!

Taneth won yet ANOTHER fan to the Army of Taneth Lovers. Friday night found her cuddling and snuggling the rat caller Napoleon. She even went as far as to feed him cookies. Napoleon sure was in rat heaven!

A Drunken Saturday Night!

Clearly Cute Single Erin has done away with the sobriety chip. She was already downing shots early on Saturday evening. The RU Brothers Baker and Reap looked on as she did in admiration while sipping from their mugs of ale. There's nothing hotter to an RU guy that a hot chick slamming back alcohol!

The third RU Brother Cor was too busy being felt up by the troublesome Miss B to pay attention to the hot chick downing shots. The pair chatted and exchanged flirtatious glance over drinks! Wow, Good Boy Cor sure has his hands full these days juggling all the ladies!

Sid was tending bar with the lovely duet of Sugar and Spice. The twins did quite well under the watchful gaze of the DELICIOUS Sid. Sugar seemed to have eyes for a certain IFL star -- Darren. While rumors that connected Spice and Cor seemed quite unfounded as the pair barely spoke the whole night.

An already half-trashed Erin started putting together Jewell's bachelorette party! Unfortunately, none of the men had the proverbial balls to be the night's entertainment. Therefore, the planning was tabled and the drinking commenced. Cute Single Erin and the Former Miss Anger Management Jewell were joined by bouncy Piper for some serious Girls' Night drinking!

Late into the evening the party was broken up and tensions ran high as Vinny confronted a very wasted Jewell, claiming that she was blaming all of her problems on him. Vinny even claimed that her own brother Brian had called her a spoiled brat. Ooooh! Luckily, Daniel stepped in to keep the incident from becoming physical (which was probably a good thing considering that Jewell could barely stand).

BRALE ON, Sunday!

Reap joked (...er at least we think it was a joke) about his RU brother Cor getting Icer drunk the night before and having his way with her! Just think of all the tea-drinking, omelette-cooking baby dragons that would produce! Aurthur did not seem to think it very funny and confronted Reap while Baker egged the incident on. But as drunk luck would have it, Reap was not sliced in half by a talon and will live to BRALE ON!


Gav was tending late into the night and spotted the gorgeous and naughty Morgan stopped in the Inn on her way down to the basement Annex! He called out to her to convince her to stick around for a drink and some chitchat. The old school duelists discussed her return to the rings

G'nort was up to no good in the Annex as usual! He discussed the beauty of his eyes with the caller on duty, Rory, and then when she left for the night moved on to flirting with one of his Shots of Decadence employees (as he co-owns the team), Erin. Cute single Erin took it all in stride while G'nort calculated her ability to make him money and join his cadre of pin-up model/duelists.

There was also lots of hard-hitting action in the Iron Fists Garden on Sunday evening! It was a loooovely night filled with HAWT women as Team SHE took on Kung Fu Theater. Unfortunately for those hot, ass-kicking girls/reigning champs, Kung Fu Theater whipped them good.

Dizzy and PJ put pleasant ideas in more than one man's head as the pair leaned on one another and discussed the matches. They also briefly discussed FLAWLESS Koy and the fact that her man-tastic Matt had still not found his way home. WE ARE SO SAD FOR HER!

Artemus made mention that RSB hasn't had a real test yet which prompted Cas to actually stand up for the girls (and their guys) of Shots of Decadence. Anybody else get the feeling that Artemus may be separated from his head sometime soon? The only question is which head will the girls from SOD will decide to take.

SPOTTED on a Monday Night!

It's been a long time since we played a game of Spotted! We just can't resist! Therefore, we are now proud to present your SEVENTH Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled --

SPOTTED:

- Sugar (the blonde twin) bounding out the door of the Inn to visit the slightly surly Darren while Sid looked on warily. Better not mess with Mama Bear Sid's cubs!

- Vinny attempting to get back on Jewell's good side by handing her an envelope in which supposedly held her wedding present. Jewell declined and Vinny stormed off in a huff.

- Jewell and Erin attempting to collect strippers for Jewell's bachelorette party the next evening from some of the hottest men that the Inn and Outback had to offer! Unfortunately, they were faced with a lot of sheepish... well, sheep. Does no man in this city have the balls to bear his balls?!?!

- Cute Single Erin STILL drinking. We love the girl but she's aiming for a room in rehab next to Jade these days. Monday night she was helping cheer up a rather down Piper with a double shot of whiskey.

- Sartan and Harris continuing their love fest. Harris serenaded Sartan. Sartan punched Harris.

- CLASSY Cieara watching her brother Daniel take a win in the Outback!

- DoD's PJ and Charlie sniping back and forth at one another which seemed to confuse all of their gathered friends. Good Boy Cor attempted to intervene but the sluttacious best friends cut him off. In the end, Charlie slugged PJ, knocked her out, and then hauled her unconscious body out of the Inn!

- MATT! No freaking lie! The Man-tastic Matt returned from his little MIAIS (missing in action in space) venture to the arms of his beaaautiful FLAWLESS Koy! Koy seemed too stunned to accept the news of his return at first but once she seemed assured that he was back for good, she seem overjoyed! We are so happy for our FLAWLESS Koy. Nobody deserves happiness more than her!

June All Ranks Magic Tournament!

While action was hot and heavy in the Outback and drama was thick in the Inn, Twilight Island had thrown open the portal to have a fun beach party during the June All Ranks Tournament! The goblin servers grilled fish and had pork BBQ for participants and fans alike! The single elimination tournament drew out a who's who in the mage world with a record number of participants!

Just when you thought that the Isle was the one place in RhyDin free of Grazianos/Crew, Chris Grazzy stepped through the portal with what appeared to be a magical baseball bat. He found himself against DoD-er Rena in the first round and she sent him home early.

The lovely Keeper Mrs. Wyh Not showed up too but she found herself done early. Is it just us or is anybody else growing increasingly curious by her husband's noticeable absence in the dueling venues she frequents? Many of her friends have shown to cheer her on in tournaments and challenges but we've yet to see her own husband show! Perhaps he does not approve of her new hobby???

Artemus took a couple minutes to chat with Rena (who evidently hadn't heard the comments he'd made the night before about SOD). Rena mentioned that she and Val are doing okay. She explained him not being around as of late by stating that he has been at home resting an injured knee.

Cutie Pootie Gnim was there to cheer on his partner in Gnome Love -- Melli. His lady love fought well but, unfortunately, found herself out in the second round. We cry FOUL! Melli should win on cuteness alone!!!

Even Big Willy Wulfson was present for the party! We totally HEART him! He's the second HAWTEST mage (right after Brig!). While Big Willy was too late to get into the tournament, he made his presence known by exchanging one-liners with Lem.

What a super fun tournament with AMAZING food! We are soooo making an appearance at the next one just to try the BBQ we heard so much about!

A Sinfully Delightful Bachelorette Tuesday

Tuesday night was a quiet night in the Inn. Ha! That is until Jewell and crew showed up and got her bachelorette party in fuuuuull swing! The first order of the night??? That all men take off their shirts! The second??? Everybody must be intoxicated by midnight!

Jade wandered in covering eyes and claiming that she did not wish to see all the nakedness. Shirtless and aled up, dynamic duo of Dirk and Cole "convinced" her otherwise. We're not buying the act, Slutty Jade!

The party really got cranked up when the Badsider Brew model PJ (who appeared none the worse from her "fight" with Charlie the night before) showed wearing a t-shirt that claimed she had Jewell before Stephen! WOWZA! PJ aided in the removing of shirts by de-shirting her teammate Darren in a very HAWT scene.

Where has Keeper Mrs. Wyh Not's husband been? Well, evidently he can't show up to support her when she duels but he does come around when his wife may be surrounded by half-naked men. Perhaps if we started rumors that Mrs. Wyh Not was being hit on in the Outback and on the Island he might do his husbandly duties by showing up to support her!

And what would a night in the Inn be without Cute Single Erin throwing back shots??? We ADORE the girl but take a night to sober up, chickie! Erin was in full party mode and was even shaking her cute little bum while dancing on the bar! Even cute little Uriko was convinced to join them for a dance on the bar!

Then came the girl-on-girl action! What bachelorette party is complete without it? PJ seemed to be the center of it all. She got a handful of Erin's booty and dipped her into a kiss. Charna smooched Jewell and then sextastic Charna and slutacious PJ engaged in a lip smacker!
After the girl-on-girl action came something a bit more.... odd. Evidently Robert skipped the bachelor party with his brother to be part of the girls' entertainment. He gave his future sister-in-law a raunchy ale-aided strip tease! Man, oh, man!

The Inn wasn't the only place to find loooovely ladies! Everybody's favorite DoF caller Kalianna was back to hosting in the Outback after an absence! She kept all those boys in line and the rings active!

Vinny asked Uriko if she was ready for a tough match. Evidently he meant himself! We could barely get our source to stop laughing long enough to relay that piece of information. Really, the ego busters of the dueling venues are doing a terrible job of keeping these people in line. In the end, Vinny barely squeaked by with a victory. Do NOT like him!!!

And then to cap off an awesome night, the one and only Man-tastic Matt returned to the Outback to take over calling for Kalianna! It was so great to see the Duel of Fists' leader back at the helm! We sure hope he can pull those opal holders back in! Some of them are getting a bit big for their britches! The FLAWLESS Koy was with him, eating take-out and catching up. They had a very amusing exchange as Koy attempted to explain her affiliation with DoD to him. WELCOME BACK, Matt-tastic!

Lip lock Wednesday!

Besides the FABULOUS Wedding of the Year, Wednesday night was pretty quiet. We shall address the wedding in it's own entry but for now, here's what you missed while you were trying to sneak into Jewell and Stephen's wedding!

Gov Kitty's mind is still preoccupied with thoughts of Tass. She discussed the incident with the sex-tastic Kina and sounded a bit guilty that the lawyers were able to kidnap Tass because he was weak from helping to heal her. Artemus attempted to "help" but was just yelled at by Kitty for being condescending! Ha!

For some reason Baker and Reap were bleeding all over the Inn! Our sources are not quite sure why. However, rumor has it Alana attempted to regain control of the Inn and to heal the Brale Brothers but was having a very difficult time.

One of our interns is going home with a biiiiig pat on the back! He spotted the bubble gum blowing, blonde twin Sugar in a lip lock with a regular in the dueling venues Darren. She didn't look quite so innocent then! So cute!!!

Harris's wife Stick appeared in the Outback late in the evening looking for the FLAWLESS Koy (evidently Stick hadn't heard that Koy was off watching the wedding dress she designed walking down the aisle). Stick seemed a bit out of sorts and requested Kheld to stop by sometime. Is there trouble in paradise? Is Stick still upset about Harris's arm candy?

....And, for the record, this is our 100th blog entry! Color us super excited to making it to the BIG 100 without suffering bodily injury!!!

...And, thus, they lived happily ever after!

We're going to the chapel and we're gooooonna get married! How beautiful was Stephen and Jewell's wedding?!?! We have heard allll the details and we are still so so so disappointed that we could not make it! Expect this entry to be full on fanboy because, man, are we impressed!

The wedding of the year was held in the beautiful RhyDin Conservatory in the New Haven district. The decorations were opulent but not over the top. Everything was perfectly classy and the gardens surrounding the Conservatory were oh-so perfect! Magical glass chandeliers cast a romantic glow upon the proceedings!

Daniel looked delicious in his modern-looking black tux! Loved it! His date for the night was his absolutely stunning sister Cieara. The Queen of Class was dressed in a plunging (enough to be sexy but certainly not low enough to be in bad taste) emerald dress.

Also present? The green-haired lovely Lydia in a slinky purple number wonderfully cute heels and a clean up swept hair-do. Cute Single Erin earned her moniker ONCE AGAIN! BEAUTIFUL! Her skin was nicely offset by a pale pink dress cinched and bejewelled just beneath the bodice. We love her classic style!

Cor arrived sadly not with any of his RU brethren but looking mighty dapper in a fine-fitting tux! Elessaria was wearing a stunning dress! Must found out the designer! It was a pale blue pencil thin to show off her fantastic figure and was adorned by countless midnight blue flowers. Sexy vixen Charna was spotted at the ceremony dressed in a funky red and white number. That girl suuuure knows how to WORK IT! Even SUPER Des and her Gav (last year's WEDDING OF THE YEAR) came to watch the newest "it" couple coronated.... so to speak.

We were so glad to see our FLAWLESS Koy in a stunning black silk dress adorned with a yellow tulip with the best accessory of the night -- her Man-tastic Matt! The pair were too cute and totally attached at the hip after their months long separation!

And then the MAIN EVENT started!

As all of Jewell's many children watched on, Amthy walked down the aisle first in a pale peach sleeveless gown offset with dark gloves! And then Jewell followed and our FLAWLESS Koy did NOT let us down! The dress gown she designed for Jewell was simply... well, FLAWLESS! Jewell was clad in a cream-colored tulle and taffeta that SCREAMED of class. She seemed to be walking on air and looked utterly breath-taking!

Stephen certainly appeared stunned! The sight of his lovely bride definitely seemed to cause his heart to skip a beat... or twelve! Gov Kitty performed a lovely ceremony! EVERYBODY was on their best behavior. There were quite a few misty eyes and Jewell was unable to make it through the vows without shedding some tears!

...And what do you expect from a marriage between a pirate captain and a fae?!? There was, of course, a great party to follow! The alcohol flowed freely! People were merry and flirtatious! It was the PERFECT night!

Congratulations to Captain Stephen Kidd and the Former Lil' Miss Anger Management Jewell Ravenlock! We wish you the best of luck!

Overheard Around Town!

- "I'm not just a guy, young lady. I'm G." G'nort was overheard informing some young woman about his G'reatness in the Arena.

- "And Franco knows about as much about fighting as I do about Quantum Physics." Said Artemus in response to us comparing his teaching dueling to PJ teaching Sunday School. Let's just say that it doesn't take a mechanic to know a car won't start.

- "You're cute, Icer. But one of these day...POW...right up to the moon." We'd loooove to see Gav try that!

- "Look, I had a compound fracture...is that hott?" Baker asked his lovely Evie while showing off his nifty cast.

- "Which side should we sit? I don't know either too well. Though the bride did try to strip me last night." Darren questioned at Jewell and Stephen's wedding. That Bachelorette Party sure was one for the aaaages! Sounds like Darren won't be forgetting it any time soon!

- "Oh now tha' be a booty worth plunderin' so says I." Was Robert's evaluation of PJ's backside.

- "My mom's a ghost and my dad is a snake. I was a complicated youth." Lem was overheard saying on the Isle. Sounds like a typical RhyDin kid to me!

- "Oh no, no. I'm not a pervert at all. I'm a little creepy, sure. Even somewhat over sexed. But I'm not a pervert ...unless you want me to be. " We HEART G'nort.

- "Oh, and welcome to Rhydin. Complaint department is closed for now. You can contact them in the morning between 4:30 am and 4:32 am." Kalianna welcoming a newcomer to the Outback.

- "Do we get to eat the lawyers?" Asked Kina. Feel free to insert your own joke here.

Rat-tastic Thursday!

Kina and Tucker are so much fun when tending bar together! While we HEART Antonio and absolutely love him and Kina together, wouldn't Tucker and Kina make a FABULOUS couple?!?! Delicious! Kina was overheard telling Tucker that she isn't allowed to make coffee after an incident that resulted in four people being hospitalized. Somehow that doesn't surprise us.

Not too long after, Tucker and the absolutely adorable Piper were engaged in a heart to heart chat that appeared serious. Oh la la! If we can't have Kina and Tucker, can we have Piper and Tucker??? She needs a big manly stud in her life!!! Maybe that would get Erin to stop trying to set her up with her exs.

It's been so long since she's been spotted out and about that we were starting to think that Baker had tied up our EVIE and turned her into his own personal sex goddess! She was not happy to find the boys of RU looking pretty beaten up which was supposedly at the talons of Icer. Evie asked Baker if he was feeling better and he sweetly replied that he was now that she was with him! Awww! Now before we wondered if he was good enough for our Sex-tastic Evie but we are now well assured that this is a match made in Ale Heaven!

CLASSY Cieara and Cute Single Erin wandered into the Inn together, chatting like besties! It appears that Cieara's way HAWT brother might have a bit of a crush on the ravishing beauty! While we respectfully request Erin remain single because she's way more fun that way, we would love to see a spunky little flirtation between her and Daniel. SIZZLING HAWT!

Artemus had a bad night in the Iron Fists Garden! With Cas (the Roman one) egging the situation on, he first butt heads with SOD's Rena over comments he made about the skill of the girls of SOD and their men. Artemus threw a hissy fit and Rena stormed off. Then good ol' Art had to sit through his team dropping the ball. He didn't sit quietly, though. He was overheard yelling at one of his employees to "at least score". And to cap off his bad night another ticked off SOD team member in the form of team captain Charlie stormed into the Garden to lay into him. The confrontation was broken up by PJ who led Charlie away to the bar. Every DoD girl knows how to distract the rest of their bunch -- booze.

Jewell and her brand spanking new husband Stephen made their first public appearance the night after their wedding in the Iron Fists Garden! Their honeymoon had to be delayed a day so that Jewell could face off against the Badside Brawlers Rat-tastic Napoleon!

Napoleon was expressing concern over all the cats he's seen recently in the Inn but Gov Kitty reassured him that it was bad publicity for her to "eat citizens". This is why we totally HEART Gov Kitty!!!! Ratty Nappy isn't too bad himself!

The looovely Sugar Twin showed up to support Darren while he was fighting in the Garden! These two seem to be spotted together quite a bit recently. Later in the evening they were also seen canoodling in the Inn! Love the sort of Good Girl/Bad Boy thing they have going!

Overlord Challenge: Overlord Harris D'Artainian vs. Warlord Cletus Ganderfald

There's nothing like the pomp and circumstance of an Overlord challenge to bring about a little melodrama! Thursday was the scene of just the ticket in the basement Annex to the Arena where Overlord Harris D'Artainian faced off against three-time Overlord and the winner of the past cycle's Warlord Tournament Cletus Ganderfald!

Harris arrived with his official army candy Shey at his side! Shey had certainly prepared for the night and was dressed in a gown of black silk patterned with pink and white cherry blossoms! Surprisingly classy for the dueling rings' professional escort. The Overlord's foul-mouthed wife Stick stormed in behind her, looking not the least bit pleased that he entered with Shey and not her!

Cletus arrived with much less fanfare. His wife Arane (who is rumored to be pregnant) accompanied him to stand as his lady of honor while his brother Magnus was present to serve as his second. The warlord looked on quietly as the Overlord settled his entourage down. It was finally settled that Stick would serve as the Overlord's lady of honor and his good friend Sartan would be his second.

Outside the ring there was lots of snuggles! Grayson and Taneth were cuddling together and Taneth scooped up Ratty Nappy for a good cuddle as well! Unfortunately for Grayson and Ratty Nappy, they lost their snuggling priviledges when Taneth caught them being mean to a goblin. I agree with the boys (...well, the boy and the rat) ... goblins are nothing but troublemakers!

With quiet but uber handsome Deluthan calling the match the Overlord took an early four point lead in the first duel but then dropped four straight points to the Warlord. In the end, however, the Overlord was able to get that final point to take the first duel. So excited was Stick that she jumped into Sartan's arms! Now is it just us or does Stick and Sartan make faaaaar better sense than Stick and Harris???

Cas arrived with his usual "helpful" repartee that seemed to seriously irk Stick. And who was there to calm her??? Why Sartan, of course! G'nort also arrived and again assured Taneth that he does not need to be sprayed with things that'll make him smell like flowers.

Despite dropping the first duel Cletus made quick work of the second two duels and became the seventy-third Overlord of the Duel of Swords. The barons present quickly chimed in with their alignments. Rena declared herself loyal and Cletus promised her his blade if it should be needed. Will we possibly be seeing an Intercession match in her challenge on Thursday? G'nort declared that men want to be him, his wife is the hottest woman in RhyDin, and that he would be renegade to the new Overlord (which isn't surprising considering their considerable history which includes Cletus's wife setting fire to G'nort's Golden Ivy Tavern and G'nort blowing Cletus's RhyDin home sky high).

This Overlord title would be an impressive number FOUR for the long-time duelist. For those of you not brushed up on your Swords' history, this would mean that Cletus has surpassed Xeno's three Overlord titles to sit on top the Overlords in number of titles held. Congratulations, Cletus!

Broken Bone Friday

Early on Friday evening Icer and Chryrie were gabbing together in the Inn. Icer seemed just a tad bit guilty over the broken bones that she served up to Reap and Baker. Chryrie assured her as long as they weren't dead than no harm/no foul. Chryrie put on her dentist hat and used her magic to heal an inflamed tooth in Icer's scary mouth! That woman is far braver than us! We'd never get that close to a dragon's mouth!

One of our sources spotted our favorite little artist Kira sneaking into the Inn in a summery floral sundress. She's been surprisingly scarce as of late as has her marvelous brother! We hope that they are doing well and we can't wait until they bring their wild act back to the Inn!

As if Thursday hadn't been bad enough for Artemus, he wasn't winning any fans on Friday either! With Kina behind the bar, he tried to tell her that he was still family. Kina assured him in no uncertain terms that they were no longer family. Poor, poor Art. We almost feel bad for him but he totally brings it onto himself!

Bouncy Taneth was in the Inn all a glow because Grayson returned! What has Grayson done to be so lucky to deserve that bundle of sweetness?!?!

Dioxane was entertaining the crowds Friday night during her calling shift in the Arena and attempting to keep Darren and Vinny from killing one another. It appears that the pair do not like one another very much. They exchanged insults and jabs all night. The root of their disagreement is not clear.

Cute little Uriko has been a real force in the rings as of late. She was again taking on the boys and showing no fear! This peppy little star is becoming a real darling of the dueling venues and even helped her IFL team take a win last week! We HEART her silliness!

Rena took over calling duels for Dioxane later into the evening, giving her a chance to have a heart-to-heart with good friend and teammate Darren. Darren expressed concern that Sexy Sid was going to take him out to the woodshed over his relationship with the blonde twin Sugar!!! That would be a must see! Rena tried to assure him that Sid seems quite nice but Darren didn't seem to believe her much.

Young Love on a Saturday Night!

Saturday night Darren was overheard having quite the discussion with Rena about his relationship with the blonde twin Sugar! He seems to be really bowled over by her. Later in the Inn, Sid had some pretty strong warnings for Darren about that particular relationship! We LOVE Mama Bear Sid! She made it pretty clear that if he hurt the bubble-gum blowing darling, he'd have to answer to her!

Darren, the bad boy (complete with tattoos) that he is, seemed to egg the situation on. Sid's Sexy Scottie stepped in to inform him that wasn't the best of ideas and Darren quickly piped in that he cares for Sugar a great deal so Sid has nothing to worry about. Awww, young love!

Sid certainly seems to have a soft spot for young women in need of protection! She admired Kira's artwork for a long while and chatted with her. Mama Bear Sid's going to collect herself a bunch of cubs! Young bachelors of RhyDin beware!

Cute Single Erin stopped in the Inn looking for Daniel. We're still waiting for some sizzling action on that front. And we promise you, our loyal readers, that we will get the news to you FIRST! Unfortunately this night, Erin left before Daniel arrived with his sister Classy Cieara! These two are the HOTTEST brother-sister duo in RhyDin. Hands-down!

Curse on everything that is holy, Koy! Our FLAWLESS Koy is going to lose her Fashion Police badge very soon if she doesn't do something QUICKLY about Jade. We're LOSING our minds! Trashy Jade showed up in the Inn dressed in a BRIGHT violet and black corset top that her lady bits were spilling of, a LEATHER miniskirt, and FISHNET stockings. Please, FLAWLESS Koy! Stop this tragedy! Stop it now!

An Action Packed Sunday!

Classy Cieara and Cute Single Erin were once again shining stars in against the drab background of the Inn! They discussed everything under the sun including Erin's sometimes rocky relationship with her sister, Cieara's iiiinteresting family dynamics, and a shared interest in causing trouble with the opposite sex. Our wonderful Piper wandered in shortly after all a flutter because her pegasus had won a race over the weekend! A big hearty congratulations to Piper and The Nimble!

Bast showed his handsome mug in the Inn. He stopped by his ex-wife's table for a bit of chit chat (and was he flirting with Cieara in front of Erin???) and broke the news that his sister-in-law is expecting! FAAAABULOUS! Bast seemed in great spirits about being an uncle. In fact, he seemed in such great spirits about the impending bundle of joy that we wonder if he isn't ready to settle down himself and have a couple rug rats?!?!

To make the evening even more wonderful, Daniel showed up to join the girls and Bast! Erin and Daniel quickly broke off into a whispered conversation. Delicious! Even more delicious??? The whispering ended in a SIZZLING kiss! What a great summer love for our Cute Single Erin! This hook-up gets TWO BIG THUMBS UP from yours truly!

The Inn's basement Annex was pretty hopping for Fight Night as well! Bad Boy Darren wasn't being very true to new girlfriend! He was too busy getting his flirt on with the oh-so-cute Uriko. Of course, G'nort was in on the action as well but haven't we all just come to expect that from him by now??? Something tells me that Darren's going to get into quite a bit of trouble if he doesn't change his ways!

If the Annex was hopping than Iron Fists Garden was LOADED up on action! Two Grazianos -- Tony and Chris -- both made an appearance for the Wrecking Crew. In usual Graziano fashion, one won and one lost. But BOTH were super HAWT! FLAWLESS Koy was present representing Team Fist and faced off against another member of WRC -- Kheldar. The sexiest father in RhyDin was fleeing a house full of sick kids and squeaked a victory by Koy to pose WRC for their first win of the season.

WHAT?!?!? Did our interns overhear that conversation between Stick and Koy correctly??? According to our sources, after the match FLAWLESS Koy told Stick that she had asked Man-tastic Matt to marry her and Matt had accepted!!! Wedding bells are ringing!!! We had a wedding hangover after Jewell and Stephen's extravagant affair but we are picked back up!!! This wedding will be an affair to remember! Yay!

Cas was there and ready to insult everyone under the sun. He whined about the kids from SOD being no-shows despite his own captain advising him that other arrangements had been made. He made a snide comment about Jewell and Stephen getting married after only dating for two months. Again, his facts were not straight. Our first mention of them was in late February and the couple had known one another for quite some time prior. He even bitched about how much his own long-time girlfriend likes expensive dresses. He accused Stick of hating men and his own captain of sucking at Fists. And that's only a portion of the list! Wow. What a cry baby! He's officially on our downer list. Ew.

That depressed us just writing about! So we will talk about DoD girls to cheer ourselves up! They're always good for some alcohol-related drama! Our sources say that PJ showed up for her match half-trashed and Charlie was fully trashed. PJ's old friend Sartan spent their time in the ring lecturing her about the "tastefulness" of her Badsider Brew ads. Taste??? They're beer ads for crying out loud! G'nort faced off against Charlie who he has not been getting along with and lectured her on her recent boozing and suspected drug use. Our sources didn't catch much of the conversation but the pair certainly seemed to leave the ring on better terms than the entered... or at least there wasn't as many insults being thrown back and forth.

A SPOTTED Monday

We are now proud to present your EIGHTH Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled --

SPOTTED:

- the rarely seen but very funny Nova hanging out with best pal Sartan! The pair seemed to be discussing something very serious while G'nort and Sartan's wife Rory took the opportunity to playfully FLIRT.

- Cute Single Erin showing off her new tramp stamp to new SIZZLING flame Daniel! This one is going to burn bright and short, folks. Don't blink or you may miss it! However, while it lasts it'll be absolutely delicious!

- A very over-the-top Gav strutting in and shouting to wish his lovely Suuuuuper Des a happy anniversary. Nobody should be this in love. It's sickening! Stop it already! Even though you two make us gag at times, we wish you a happy anniversary!

- More of Alana than we EVER wanted to see! The newest addition to the Trash Brigade was at the bar being fed shots by Reap and Baker when she decided that Jade her breasts. And then in return, Jade lifted her shirt and showed Alana her breasts. NEVER is it appropriate to lift your shirt up in public. Le sigh! Please haul these girls off to rehab.

- FLAWLESS Koy handcuffing Jade for crimes of fashion! Love Koy! Love her, love her, love her! She at least attempted to convince Jade that she doesn't need to show all of her lady parts to be liked. The message didn't seem to sink in very well but Koy at least got Jade interested in coming to see her shop. Hopefully, once Jade gets an eyeful of the beautiful garments that Heavenly Boutique has to offer she won't return to shopping at Whores R Us.

- Spice laying quite the lip smack on Good Boy Cor! Seems like the brunette twin's been busy just like her sister! Hot, hot, hot!

A Life Lived Beautifully

Typically we abhor grappling in serious subjects. However, it would be so very wrong of us not to address the untimely passing of a beautiful woman.

She did not make this blog very often. Why not? Because she was too perfectly normal. She never made a big scene or asked for a lot of attention. Her life was lived sweetly and with a great deal of love. She was happy building the business she loved and spending time with her family, including her infant son and her husband.

Rosalind Elizabeth O'Dell Santiago passed away from cancer on the morning of June 10th. She was twenty-one years of age.

MUSIC, when soft voices die
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

-Percy Bysshe Shelley

Meet the Family Tuesday

Jewell was in the Inn tending Wednesday night in her first shift as a MARRIED woman! She seemed like the same old former Lil' Miss Anger Management to us! She threatened Reap and Baker several times as they both seemed very interested in making her their "bi-otch". Who wouldn't want Jewell as their "bi-otch", right??? Jewell smartly informed them that from now on they must ask Stephen!!!

To get the RU boys off her back, she introduced them to a newcomer! NOT NICE, Jewell!!! No matter, we HEART this new girl. The blonde elf by the name of Asha is new to RhyDin and too cute for words! Thankfully, Jewell was kind enough to warn her that the RU boys are dirty and to yell at Reap for touching the cutie.

Cute Single Erin had a "meet the family" moment when CLASSY Cieara introduced her to her grandmother Lyllianne. It certainly could have gone better. Erin was straight from the Outback and appeared a bloody sweaty mess and Daniel wasn't present. Also, a word of advice, Cute Single Erin -- don't slam back shots in front of your new man's grandmother. It's not the type of lady-like behavior that most grams like to see out of their grandson's new fling. Le sigh.

Harris was planning his next relationship -- a fling with Jewell -- that will evidently take place after their respective divorces. Just what this city needs -- a consolidation of blue-haired power! Something tells us that even thought this was a joke, Stick will not be amused.

The Outback was a bit late to start but action picked up in there soon after. Good Boy Cor was calling duels as he's seemed to pick up a new part-time gig in the Outback. Cute little Uriko was present to gather a couple of wins and Darren was there doing what he does best -- drinking and hitting on women other than his girlfriend. He's definitely a bad boy but we've got a bit of a soft spot for his shenanigans.

Over on Twilight Island, Topaz was spending a bit of time with her hunky man Lucien. It seems the new mom's craving a bit of one-on-one time with her sexy hubby and who wouldn't if you had that to make the relations with??? She was eager to arrange a romantic date for them. Oh la la!

Overheard Around Town

- "You've go such nice legs. What time do they open?" Baker asked Charlie. We believe she's still sitting somewhere in a stunned stupor.

- " By order of the Fashion Police, I'm placin' ye under arrest fer breakin' multiple style laws. Consider this ye're lucky day. Ye're gettin' an Intervention." WE LOVE YOU FLAWLESS KOY!

- "I mean I may be a drunk and a bit o' a hewhore but a gossip I be nae." Well, it's nice to know where Robert draws the line.

- "Why would I do that? You already can't have children. My work for the women of this town is done." Harris to Darren in response to Darren's request for a duel.

- "Where's the Gossip GangSTAR when you need him? Standing up for us poor souls who just want to spread nasty gossip across the land? Protect us dear Gossip God!" We always have you, Evie, in our heart!

- "They buy them usually, darling. Nova has a ton of them at home, he uses them as pillows." Sartan to his wife when she asked how the women of RhyDin get such perfect breasts.

- "I'm your &*#$%&* wife! I should be like a &#$%!%^# magnet for your eyes!" Stick drops such foul language to Harris at the Overlord Tournament that even we are forced to censor it!

- "Jake's not scary. He's a beer God." So said Koy about the genius/orc behind Badsider Brew. Damn tootin', Koy !

- "You're acting like you pissed off a god or something. You puked in the wrong offering bowl during Party Gras, didn't you?" Nova was overheard asking Sartan.

- "We can drink a shot to each of Jewell's neglected kids." So said Reap. HILARIOUS!

A Man-tastic Wednesday

It's been quite a while since our interns spotted Pelnar and Mercy out and about but they did so on Wednesday night! The pair was up to their flirtatious ways at the bar but the conversation didn't last long. Mercy was seen dragging Pelnar off. Who wants to take our bet that they were off to some deliciously sinful sex?!?!

Baker and Reap were back at the bar (surprise, surprise) having a not-so intellectual but oh-so hilarious conversation regarding Jewell as their "bi-otch"! According to Baker, Stephen has signed off on this decree but we find that somewhat hard to believe. Jewell didn't even to threaten to bash their heads in once! Perhaps Lil' Miss Anger Management just needed a good lay. Our beautiful Evie joined in briefly to snicker at the boys' antics.

Good Boy Cor was calling duels in the Outback once again and he was joined by the brunette twin Spice whom he has been spotted with on several occasions. They certainly seemed chummy once again! Our interns have worked haaaaard (read: they took an educated guess) to confirm that the pair is officially dating.

Harris mentioning that the duelists in the Outback just keep getting cuter while hopping into a room with the A-FREAKING-DORABLE Uriko. Another woman for Stick to put on her HIT LIST!!! Uriko hung in there but eventually Harris was able to take her down for the win.

Also in the Outback, it was the night of genius businessmen and the hotties on whose ASSets the men have used to make a fortune! G'nort was there with Charlie and the pair seem to be on decent terms. Charlie wasn't her usual SLUTTACIOUS self. It seems she's decided to clean herself up. Good for her! PJ, on the other hand, was her usual SLUTTACIOUS self and we can't help but love her for it. She was cuddling up to her employer the FAMOUS Jake, owner of Red Orc Brewery and the genius behind everyone's favorite brand of booze -- Badsider Brew!

Man-tastic Matt and our FLAWLESS Koy were present and accounted for as well! While we are super happy that they are together and ENGAGED (won't that be the best wedding dress EVAR!), we're starting to get an odd feeling about this one. Anybody else feel that Koy seems a whole lot happier to see Matt than he does to see her??? Gah, OPEN YOUR EYES! Koy is one of the HAWTEST women in RhyDin! Shape up, Man-tastic Matt!

A Biotch of a Thursday!

Poor Gabe was stuck doing dishes under the watchful eye of Tucker to pay back his debt to the Red Dragon Inn. Just when he thought he was done, Tucker pointed to another sink full of dirty dishes. Although, considering the amount of Gabe's debt, he'll probably being doing dishes in the Inn for the rest of his natural life.

Jewell entered the bar in a pleasant mood but her happiness was interrupted by Gabe who wanted to speak to them about the Lawyer Problem. He was attempting to get the Ravenlocks help with solving the problem but Jewell insisted that he must speak with her brother, not her, as he is the head of the family. Head of the family or not, are we the only ones that don't believe for one second that Jewell lets Brian make all the family decisions???

Baker was at the bar attempting to explain the the exact definition of "biotch" to two of our ABSOLUTE favorites -- Jon Henri and Piper! Both seemed utterly confused by the word.... or perhaps they were just confused with the way that Baker was explaining it!

The IFL newcomer Jason has been spending a lot of time with KFT and Inn regular Uriko lately! In fact, Thursday night they were seen having dinner together in the Inn. Jason seemed to be left wanting more of that cute, bubbly package!!! And who can blame him?!?! Young love is so so so sweet!

Evidently, FLAWLESS Koy's fashion intervention on Jade did not work. She wandered into the Inn in the late hours of Thursday in full-on cheap prostitute mode -- a short strapless dress and knee-high stripper boots along with heavy eye makeup and the most obnoxious shade of pink lipstick. Le sigh. Some people will never learn! The sad thing is that if she wasn't so DESPERATE she might actually be cute!

The Inn's basement Arena was pretty hopping with a Baronial Challenge match which pitted the Baroness of Old Temple District Rena Cronin against Horatio Macbeth. Baroness of Dragon's Gate Topaz was there to cheer on her fellow baroness. Rena's fellow DoD-er Charlie was also present to represent DoD. Under the watchful eye of her brother Gavin, Charlie was looking a bit worse for wear as she continues her path towards sobriety. Another DoD-er PJ was present to cheer and snuggle with Ratty Nappy and Rena's SOD teammate Cor also came by to look on. Even Overlord Cletus was looking on. He failed to step in for Rena to test the challenger and he didn't seem to take sides in the match. Despite all Rena's support and after three close bouts, Horatio stepped away as the new baron.

Congatulations, Horatio!

A Baby Bump Friday

Yours truly dropped by the Inn in the early hours of Friday evening just to check out the show! Our dear Cute Single Erin was dressed in a hot black number and was attempting to convince someone to hit the town with her! We had the joy of running into her partner-in-crime for the evening -- Kat. Such a cutie!

We also had the fortune of spotting the lovely Chryrie who we MUST mention more often. HaWtNeSs! By the way, it appears lovely Viki has not been forgotten. Although, we've barely heard mention of her since her kidnapping in late April, Chryrie mentioned later into the night that she, Sid, and Scottie have been busy attempting to locate the lovely lass!

Are Jewell and Stephen planning on expanding their brood already?!?! Well, Jewell received a delivery of a spatula and baster in the Inn. When Antonio suggested it might be for cooking, Jewell quickly corrected him. It seems our Former Lil' Miss Anger Management doesn't cook. According to Jewell, the items were needed to get her pregnant.... at least according to some made-up ritual by Stephen. Who else sees a honeymoon baby on the horizon??? We're calling a full-on "BABY BUMP WATCH" on these two!!!

Hawk and Jewell later spoke of a common love -- Amthy!! Who doesn't love that sweet beautiful little thing??? Hawk seems quite saddened to have seen so little of the green-haired beauty as of late. While Jewell spoke of her own wedding and her philosophy on marriage, Hawk made mention that he had not thought of marriage until recently!!! Does that mean that our Amthy has made him think of marriage??? This seems a bit sudden to us. What about you, loyal readers???

Alana came in wearing a t-shirt that said "You're on my To-Do List." Lord, help us all! If we were Jenai we'd be more than a little worried about the amount of time our husband was spending with this woman. Alana certainly seems a bit on the shameless side. Of course, Jade seemed to LOVE the t-shirt. Trash collects more trash as Mama would say!

Speaking of trashy, Jade spent the night practically dry humping Gabe in the MIDDLE OF THE INN. Then when Gabe's CURRENT girlfriend Michelle entered, Jade had the audacity of walking right up to her and breaking up with her FOR GABE!!! We are shocked and appalled. Jade went from being useless to being downright needlessly vindictive. NOT COOL! The beautiful redhead Michelle was heartbroken while Gabe was an absolute pansy and fled.

We are too disgusted to even talk about the rest of the night at the Inn.

To cheer ourselves up, we'll talk about the action in the Arena on Friday night! Former Overlord and blue-haired freak Harris was present to call duels. Cat-woman Onyx was back after a loooooong absent and up to her usual trouble. Her kinda/sorta friend G'nort arrived in time to call her a "dock whore" but evidently he meant it in a nice way. G'nort remained around to insult a few other people, including calling Cheyenne the "poor man's Stick". WE TOTALLY HEART G'NORT!

An Often Wed Saturday

We will never be able to keep track of all the "loves" in Feilas's life. First there was Sera (the "bloody psycho" ex of Dameon) but back in May he was seen getting his groove thing on with Nyx (who had broken Brandon's heart days earlier) and now it seems that he's got his sights set on Alana (who tends to throw herself at taken men as she's appeared in this blog after having flirted with Stephen, Baker, Val, Brian, etc, etc). Strangely enough, Feilas was chatting with Nyx when Alana arrived and introduced Alana to Nyx as "my love".

How does he keep them straight?!?!?

Whore-errific Jade was spotted talking to her ex Michale. Has she really ran out of men who'll sleep with her? Is she now going around for seconds? REHAB is calling, sweetheart!!!

The twins Sugar and Spice were tending bar but without the venerable Ms. Sid. They served up a free round of drinks on Sexy Brian who was celebrating the upcoming birth of the centaurs. Brian got his usual flirtatious offers from the women in the Inn but as usual he remained true to his girl. We HEART him!!!

Speaking of sisters, Cute Single Erin was dishing about her night out on the town with her lovely and much more even-keeled sister Lydia at the bar late into the night. Typically we HEART sister gab-fests but these two are absolutely DEPRESSING! They are two pretty girls who are usually fun to be around but whenever they are around each other they are tense and silent. It makes us sad!

The Baroness of Dockside Jaycynda "Jaycy" Ashleana and the Baron of New Haven Kheldar "Sexiest Father in RhyDin" Drasinia were both present and looking for duels in the Inn's basement Arena. Jaycy gaggingly referred to Kheld as her brother. ATTENTION, people! Never EVER refer to someone who you have previously had relations with as your brother! We do not care if you just mean "heart brother" or "soul brother" or whatever you people refer to it as these days. It's still gross.

In a meeting of the "often wed", Jaycy faced off against Jewell in a ring. Our sources tell us that their conversation revolved around respect. Lord, help us! Two women so prone to opening their legs discussing respect and honor??? RESPECT YOURSELVES, GIRLS! Le sigh. Jaycy won the duel but we believe the pair is tied at three on number of times wed.

Whore-effic Sunday!

In the early evening hours of Sunday night, EFFORTLESS Kairee was hanging out at the bar with her hunky Julien. Cuteness! The sweet and gentle Eless was behind the bar making sure everyone's drink was properly full. The customers kept her hopping! She served everything from water to moonshine with her usual CLASS!!

We make fun about Jewell a lot but typically her fashion choices are pretty spot on. That is until she waltzed into the Inn in a black cat suit on Sunday. Jade, of course, deemed the trashy ensemble "hot" but we've come to expect no less from Whore-effic Jade.

Oddly enough, Michelle (who if you remember correctly just lost her boyfriend Gabe to Jade) rushed into the Inn and hugged the home wrecking wench! Uh, jaw drop! Does nobody in town but us appreciate a good cat fight anymore??? And to think we were rooting for you, Michelle! Evidently, Michelle thinks Gabe will be happy with Jade. HA! HA HA HA HA! Before the night was even out Gabe caught Jade humping some new guy (whose name our sources never did catch) in front of the entire Inn! Just what Gabe deserves for dumping a nice girl like Michelle for an Whore-effic Jade!

DoD's own Rena called the challenge match between Warlord Aya Hayashibara and Baroness of Dragon's Gate Topaz Datrazanov in the Inn's basement Arena. Quite a crowd gathered to witness the show! Gnimish was there to cheer for Topaz but he was without his cohort in Gnome Love. We hope they're still going strong! The recently challenged Baroness of Seaside Karen Wilder showed to watch with Mr. I've-got-a-stick-up-my-butt Cas. Cas was filled with his usual joy and cheer. One of our interns believes that his entire face will crack if he attempts to smile. Former Overlord Max Blue was there to support his long-time friend Topaz. In a best of three match-up, Aya ended up ending Topaz's reign after three and a half years (making it the second longest reign in Duel of Swords history).

Down a level lower in the Arena's Annex, Fight Night was a flurry of action! Cute little Ratty Nappy was substituting and we always love when he does because silliness abounds! FLAWLESS Koy in a colorful red minidress made an appearance with her dear friend Stick who was dressed in all boring black. Stick went on to complain to her friend about the current Overlord and his snarky comments for her after she issued her challenge. Evidently Stick's not at all a happy camper.

During all of Stick's complaining, Man-tastic Matt walked in and completely WALKED BY our FLAWLESS KOY! What?!?! How can he do that??? She's super sex-tacular!!! ...And we still have yet to hear of a wedding date for the pair. Is Man-tastic Matt dragging his feet??? Has he forgotten just how lucky he is that FLAWLESS Koy will even talk to him???

Darren was certainly not walking by the lovely Sugar!!! She showed up in the Annex to spend a bit of time watching him duel and he dipped her and laid quite the lip smacker on her. The sweet, blonde twin turned quite red!!! Too cute!

A Spotted Monday

We are now proud to present your NINTH Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled --

SPOTTED:

- A set of fine handkerchiefs being given as a gift to Brendan from Setvia. These two had some major blushing action going on! It wouldn't surprise us if they were still red!!! We haven't seen Brendan get any action in almost three months. The boy is fiiiiiine and deserves a good filly! Our sources insist that there may have been a kiss as well!

- Piper and Elessaria engaged in some frank conversation with Connar in which Connar advised the ladies that he's saving himself for marriage! What?!?!?! There's two options here: (a) he's lying to them so that they think he is sensitive and have sex with him, or, (b) he's telling the truth which is a little scary considering not even the women of this city save themselves for marriage. Yeah, we believe he's trying to get into their pants, too!

- the entire up-turned nose gang meeting for a going away party for the Pimp-alicious Everett! It was unclear just how long he would be gone and our sources are really getting raked over the coals for failing to find out where he's going. However, we do know that some serious hotties gathered for the goodbyes, including the rarely seen as of late Gideon, Cute Single Erin, Always Grumpy Lydia, and a very tanned Cassie. All were sporting their best dress clothes and looking down right spiffy!

- young sweet Uriko advising G'nort that she's a virgin and G'nort in reply telling her that it makes her a national treasure!!! All the while, Uriko was busy booting G'nort out of Styx, giving herself a solid win over the very distracted G'nort. Lesson learned, G'nort. Never talk sex with Uriko when trying to defeat her in a ring!!!

- a DoD heart-to-heart! Koy entered the Outback looking as FLAWLESS as always and sat down to have a lengthy and quiet discussion with Rena. Once AGAIN Man-tastic Matt only breezed by with a kiss to Koy's cheek, seemingly uninterested that he STILL has the HAWTEST woman in RhyDin right underneath his nose!!! Matt, are you an idiot??? WAKE UP!!!

- cute Gnome Love!!! Mellisandre joined Gnimish while he called on Twilight Island on Monday night. There was the usual cute cuddling and snuggling. Do Gnomes marry??? When will Gnimish pose the Big Question to this cute slice of a baking gnome???

- Sid losing her temper with a drunk who was tossing bottles behind the bar. The drunk's name remains unknown but Sin-alacious Sid was definitely none too pleased! She pulled out her Sawed Off Pool Cue of Doom and handed it to Jewell who went all Lil' Miss Anger Management on the drunk's ass!!! Better not mess with those girls!!!

Tuesday's Marriage Shaker

In the early hours of Tuesday night, Setvia and Brendan were back to engaging in lip locks in the Inn and exchanging whispered sweet little nothings!!! What's the over/under on how long it is until these two are married with a set of triplets??? We've decided four months. Speaking of a coupled pair, Setvia's friend Cailet has been busying herself with a young man by the name of Nireck. This foursome has been spending a good deal of time hanging out with one another.

Grem tried to get a smile out of sour-faced Lydia but she remained a depressing weight on the Inn! For crying out loud!!! This woman is beautiful, has a wonderful sister, great friends, and a successful business. Why is she always so grim-faced???

Jewell was NOT having a good night!!! Darren was giving Stephen very vivid details about Jewell's raging bachelorette party. Stephen seemed none too pleased with the information and details of sin and debauchery that his wife (or future wife at the time) was engaged in that night. Tristen went as far to suggest that Jewell's BRAND SPANKING NEW marriage might already be on the rocks!!! DRAMA! We HEART it!!!

Stephen went on to take things a step too far as Stephen and Jewell are prone to doing when it comes to violence. Stephen actually pulled a gun on Darren!!! We guess Lil' Miss Anger Management sure did find a perfect mate. No shots were fired as Stephen stormed out, leaving Jewell a bit teary eyed. A marriage in trouble after just two weeks!!! This has to be a record even for Jewell!!!

Jewell seemed in a bit more confident mood about her marriage a couple hours later when SMASHING Issy walked through the door. The pair briefly gabbed about Jewell's marriage status and made a few suggestive comments about being a newlywed. It was so good to hear that SMASHING Issy was out and about!!! Evidently patrols in the West End have taken up a large chunk of her time.

Long time no see!!! Gork walked right into the Outback out of the blue on Tuesday night. Harris and Sartan appeared a bit stunned to see him. After that brief moment of surprise, however, the boys were back to shooting their one-liners at him... and at each other, of course! Gork seemed more than a little rusty!! He took a pretty rough beating from Uriko.

Speaking of rough beatings, the Lizard Man Bran faced off in a challenge match against Harris, holder of the Ice Dancer opal. Bran was able to take the first match but was soundly thumped in the second two, allowing Harris to remain as an opal holder. Harris's wife Stick was there for the festivities and spent some time hanging out with her lovely friend FLAWLESS Koy. Once again, Man-tastic Matt seemed to paying little attention to her. Le sigh.

Wednesday's Are For Summer Dresses!

What did we tell you about Brendan and Setiva??? We know RhyDin Love and this couple has "fast-moving" written all over them. Wednesday night in the Inn Brendan was already meeting Setvia's mother, Illusia. We're right on track for an engagement within two weeks.

We know that this will get us in a lot of trouble for even mentioning but we are FEARLESS!!! We just don't like Lydia with Grem. He's super duper and handsome and she's spectacularly unhappy ALL THE TIME! Our sources saw Lydia's employee Carley hanging out in the Inn with Grem on Wednesday evening and we heard that they were absolutely adorable together! Although, Carley is certainly young, we think this pair would make a muuuuuch better couple than Lydia and Grem!

Speaking of women that we no longer like, Cassie is quickly making that list!!! Is there a female other than Erin in RhyDin who she gets along with??? She barged in on a witty (and sexy!) debate between Sebastian and the uber gorgeous Piper in order to talk nothings to Sebastian and shoot Piper nasty looks. And juuuuust when it looked like Sebastian was actually going to make a connection with a single, beautiful woman, Cassie took him away for a late dinner. GAH!

After attracting attention for all the wrong reasons the past week (drama with her man, poor fashion decisions), Jewell showed up in the Inn looking STUNNING in a white sun dress with a delicate cherry pattern. Love it! And her and Stephen seemed to be on good turns. They were flirty and playful with one another all night!

Jewell wasn't the only one looking her best!!! We were shocked to hear that Jade walked in dressed in a lovely, summery dress with TASTEFUL makeup!!! Color us completely SHOCKED!!! Good for her! It's sad seeing such pretty girls wearing such horrid outfits.

There was no shortage of action in the Outback!!! New Fists caller Lem witnessed his first challenge match as Shadoweaver holder Jaycy faced off against Vanion. After three duels, Vanion earned the right to hold the Opal for now.

After a brief visit from his cute as a button wife Rory, Sartan found himself in a match of the old guard versus the new as he faced off against Jason! Two HAWTIES in a ring!!! Someone should have sold tickets. Jason took a solid win for the new guard and we're already calling for a rematch!

Thursday's Missing a Lady

Icer was in the Inn Thursday evening telling SMOKING HAWT Alain that her husband Aurthur, her father, and one of her sons have been captured!!! Icer was lamenting over the fact that because of her hatchlings she is unable to do much in the search for the three but that she is sure that they are still alive. Scary stuff!!!

Our sources overheard Nyx drop to Lyris that her birthday just passed!!! She bought herself some pretty material for a new belly dancing outfit but it does not sound as if she had a proper party. So sad!!! Well, happy birthday you sweet little dancer, you!

Maybe Chryrie should get a "Suuuuper" moniker as well! A stranger rushed into the Inn claiming that his friend was in need of a healer. Chryrie did not hesitate to lend her services and when she returned she stated that the woman's life she'd been called on to heal had been saved. YAY, CHRYRIE! We HEART talented AND sexy women!!!

Grrrr. Cassie came around dressed like a hobo. Flip flops! Come on?!?! What professional woman wears flip flops in public??? Obviously she came looking for her man Alain. Perhaps if we were a woman like Cassie we'd keep a tight leash on our uber sexy man as well!!!

On a better note, Jade continued to look almost classy!!! She was dressed in a black dress with a thick red belt and her make-up was actually NOT overkill. We totally LOVE the new look. Way to go, FLAWLESS Koy! Score another for the Fashion Police!!! Jade also had a looovely accessory in fake brother Mark. Evidently he's not her real brother but she calls him brother. The people of this city and all their fake relatives CONFUSE me!!! If you didn't share a parent with the person you are NOT their sibling!!! Anyway, Mark has that dark shaggy-haired look that we ADORE. Cute boy! Would looooove to see more of that, if you know what we're saying!

Late into the night our sources caught Eless and Connar in a private conversation in the Inn!!! Now this is certainly not the first time the pair have been caught in a flirtatious conversation. Our sources spotted them together already in early May. Make your move already, Connar!!! Sheesh!

There was lots of action in the Arena on Thursday night! Imp was the caller on duty and he, of course, was up to his usual amount of trouble. He made time to grope and lick a number of women including Aya, Rena, and Uriko. Cas was having a rough night. With his usual amount of charm and grace (in other words, a complete lack of either), he lost to both a gnome in Gnimish and a dwarf in Felix. To make himself feel better, he went about talking up all his other accomplishments for several hours. BORING! Way to go, Gnim and Felix!!!

We'd be amiss if we did not mention the posters that seem to be EVERYWHERE as well as the town crier echoing the news. It seems that our dear, wonderful Ms. Mercy has gone missing!!! Rumor has it that she was kidnapped by a mage in the Southern Glen several days ago!!! Pelnar is evidently quite distraught and has thrown himself into searching for his lovely lady. So sad!!! We hope that she is found soon!!

Friday's Chemistry Lesson

Cute Single Erin came in early Friday evening in a charming blue cotton sun dress and joined the dazzling Piper at the bar! These two should be BFF!!!! They are too adorable together. Sebastian came rolling in not long after and once again we were struck by just how PERFECT he and Piper are together. Unfortunately, their constant snarkiness makes it difficult for a connection to blossom. However, there's no denying the CHEMISTRY is THERE!!!!

The Sex-tacular Chryrie took time out of her busy life-saving schedule to use her magic to turn Lydia's green hair to a sexy auburn. It's cute but Lydia's still a stick in the mud. Maybe Chryrie should have turned it blonde so Lydia could have learned how to have fun. BLAH! In better news, Chryrie's husband CK made a rare appearance in the Inn. It was cute to see her all snuggly and cuddly!

Antonio is never one to miss out on a business opportunity! He had a new shipment of fantastic silk and brought some with him to the Inn to show off. Before the night was over he had several buyers including EFFORTLESS Kairee (we're still NOT worthy) and Former Lil' Miss Anger Management Jewell.

Speaking of Antonio, we're guessing he'll probably show up a bit tired for his next shift. It seems that Kina was overheard saying that her daughter Cai was taking the rest of their brood for the weekend. How much you want to bet he took FULL ADVANTAGE of a little bit of alone time with the Mrs.? Mama Kina isn't the only one getting a bit of loving! Cai was spotted with her man Nireck later in the evening!

Cai's good friend Setiva was no where to be found in the Inn Friday night because she was too busy making a name for herself downstairs in the Arena! She took a solid win over Gabe proving that she really is a chip off the old block!!! We wonder if her new man will be intimidated by a girl who knows how to hold a sword???

Over in the Iron Fists Garden, Jewell watched Anubis get his first win of the season and began talking of how good he was. He's 1-2!!! Jewell's fascination with the slaver is getting a bit silly. Her husband better nip that in the bud!

A quiet Saturday night!

Although the Inn wasn't hopping like it normally is on a Saturday night, Sid had a crazy night behind the bar nonetheless! There was a nearly naked redheaded man whose name our sources never were able to catch. Evidently he was dressed only in a silk shirt and was not very verbal. Iiiinteresting. Also, there was a French-speaking cutie named Hannah who appears is a little lost and Sid was playing Welcome Committee to ease her mind a bit. Things were so busy that Sid put Taneth to work making the poor girl some juice with some of Taneth's wonderfully fresh fruit!

Eless had a long chat with the lovely Sjira and introduced Connar as "handsome, although dim-witted at times". Le sigh. Eless is just like Piper! Their snarky tongues keep getting in the way!!! Despite her playful insults (or perhaps because of them), the pair was heard laughing together well into the night! Too cute!

The Arena was a bit on the slow side as well but there were a handful of duelers giving Harris some matches to call. Second generation duelist Setiva was back in the Arena once again trying to brush up on her skills. She faced tough competition in one of the Arena's most consistent female stars -- Topaz. Setiva stuck with it but in the end experience won out. The young lady was quite respectful in her defeat.

Engaged Sunday

The HAWTest brother and sister duo in RhyDin were hanging out in the Inn on Sunday night -- Cieara and Daniel!!! Their fun loving energy was brought down by Lydia who had joined the conversation. Lydia continues to be a GIANT bore and did not seem happy by Cieara recounting Cute Single Erin getting tipsy. For Pete's sake!!! Somebody needs to get Lydia WASTED. Maybe she'll remember how to smile.

Finally Cassie was looking like the Cassie we remember in a cute white knee-length dress with a ruched bodice! So perfectly summery! Cute Single Erin followed shortly after and was bumming it but she's looked so darn adorable lately that we'll give her a pass! They really brought the energy of the room back up! Lydia evidently couldn't take all the positive energy and took off. Then the party really started with Jewell joining in on the party!

Daniel wasted no time in smooching on Erin! This guy sure has "playa" written all over him! Erin was quick to warn him that she doesn't have long term potential. LOVE the girl!

Darren and his girlfriend's twin Spice were hanging out at the bar together a bit flirtatiously. Color us shocked!!! Darren and the brunette twin were conspiring to get drunk when Eless (who was doing an excellent job tending!) nixed the idea. It seems Eless was a bit worried that Sid would be angry with her as Sid has been quite protective of the twins. The flirting came to a quick end when Cor cut short his socializing to return to that twin who he has been linked with in recent months.

Fight Night was all geared up in the Annex as well and Gnome Love was the theme of the night!!! The adorable Gnim and his sweet gnome baker Mel were overheard by our sources telling cute-as-a-button caller Rory that they are engaged!!! Rory was just as excited as we are! A gnome wedding!!! What could be better???

Jaw Dropping Monday!

EFFORTLESS Kairee was in the Inn Monday night entertaining the male patrons with her many... charms!!! She exchanged fire tricks with the redheaded newcomer Cole. Kairee makes fire SEXY!!! Well, let's face it. Kairee makes ANYTHING sexy.

With Cassie looking like she got dressed in the dark and Alain seemingly uninterested in her, your Gossip GangSTAR needs a new favorite couple. And what do you know? One has presented itself to us!!! Sinful Sid and her main man Scottie are too SMOKING HAWT for words. They were cuddling and engaged in some private conversation last night. We just DROOOOOOL on ourselves!

Shey was spotted hanging out in the Inn later in the night. Is anybody else wondering what became of her husband??? He was a regular fixture in the Inn but since their honeymoon, he has seemingly disappeared!!! Is Shey a black widow??? Did her husband just knock her up and run??? We have our sources working double time on that one!!!

Alright! It's time to start taking bets!!! How long is Stephen going to last as Jewell's husband before (a) killing someone, (b) returning to sea permanently, or (c) having a massive heart attack??? Hanzo made some silly suggestive comments to Jewell which Stephen evidently took offense to. Le sigh. How could he not have known what he was getting into when he married Jewell?!?!?

Our sources caught sight of Xeno in the Outback just as dueling began Monday night!!! He seemed charmed by dear sweet Uriko (as we all are)!!! Uriko's a special girl. Not everyone can claim to have shared a bag of cookies with one of the most famed Overlords in the history of Duel of Swords!!!

JAW DROP!!!! FLAWLESS Koy somehow got Stick into a dress!!! This must be a sign of the Apocalypse! It was a lovely red charmeuse number with an asymmetric hem and an almost daring neckline. We sure hope Koy got tons and tons and tons and tons of pictures!!! We're still flabbergasted on how she actually got Stick into a dress. Most of the interns are voting that Stick had been hypnotized.

Yay! Jenai is back!!! Hot Scaths rule the school and she's definitely one of the HAWT-HAWT-HAWTest! She engaged in some girly greetings with Jewell and the pair were busy planning a girls' night with SUUUUPER Des!!! Please, on everything holy, make it be a pajama party with a pillow fight and the whole shebang! What we wouldn't give to sell tickets to that event!!!

Anubis was overheard calling Elly "cute". WHAT?!?! Not that she's isn't cute because she most certainly is! It's just that we didn't realize that word was in his vocabulary!

Twilight Island was a buzz with the coming Archmage Tournament which shall take place this coming Monday night at 9 in the evening! The Isle's best including Topaz and Esper were present to get in some practice before the big event! Of course, the engaged Gnome Lovers were present as well! Gnimish snuggled with his beloved Mel in between his calling duties. All together now -- AWWWW!

A Challenging Tuesday

Cute little Carley was having some trouble Tuesday night in the Inn! The darling blonde elf was spotted by our sources chasing a cat around the common room. Eventually, she was able to catch up with it and scruff it but the sight was entertaining while it lasted! Later she was spotted at the bar talking about Erin's vacation. It appears our Cute Single Erin has left on holiday for a week or two. Oh, how we'll miss her!

Amber and Jewell passed paths during a shift change. Sweet Amber was overheard saying that she works in the Inn because of all the great people while Jewell responded that she works at the Inn to keep up with all the juicy gossip!!! See, we knew Jewell was a woman after our own hearts!

Fantastic Jewell was wearing a soaking wet set of clothing that showed off more of her loooovely parts than we imagine her husband would prefer. Even sexy Panther seemed to take a double look! Right in front of Panther, Tristen wandered up to the bar asking to be "hit hard" and Jewell punched him hard in the face!!! Evidently all he was asking for was a drink. Somebody really needs to gain control of Jewell's violent streak.

FLAWLESS Koy is the BEST Fashion Police EVAR!!!! Jade entered the Inn last night looking sexy and oooooh so classy in a light strawberry patterned strapless dress and was without her usual dark make-up. So summery and so fun! We bow down to you Koy for the changes in Jade! She looks MARVELOUS! We're not worthy!!!

Taneth seemed a bit uneasy about Lucky's presence. We suppose that spiders are something that even Taneth can't find cute! She expressed her fear to Kitty that bugs eat people and The Gov reassured her that Lucky will not be eating anyone.

Darren was seen drinking and hanging out alone in the Inn with SOD teammate Rena. Rena's man certainly hasn't been seen in a while and Darren's supposedly dating Sugar. It seems that even Sugar's twin believes there's something more going on between the pair!!! Is there trouble already in Darren and Sugar's relationship???

The Overlord Challenge brought out a handful of RhyDin's famous to support both the challenger Sarah "Stick" Allian and the Overlord Cletus Ganderfald. Stick just so happens to be the wife of Harris, the man whom Cletus beat to gain his title and Stick immediately issued challenge. We do love when the women get involved!!! Harris was there to support his foul-mouthed friend as was DoD-er and Stick's close friend the FLAWLESS Fashion Officer Koy. On the Overlord's side of the ring sat his rumored pregnant wife Arane and one of his employees Losden (who has recently issued challenge for the Seaside barony).

After solid back-to-back wins, Cletus earned the right to retain the title and the mansion on Overlord Island. Congratulations, Overlord Ganderfald!!!

Tower of Fire Wednesday!

Early in the evening hours of Wednesday night, Sjira and Rook were spotted sitting together and sharing a meal in the Inn. The pair has been spotted together on several occasions. Are they simply two good friends or is there something more there??? They both seem low-key and quiet so it certainly seems like a relationship could work!!! We will have to wait and see!

The dragons were squabbling again in the Inn. Aurthur and Aurok seem to be a danger to one another more than to anyone else. Chryrie briefly tried to play peacemaker but later seemed to decide it was best to just stay out of their way. The dragons weren't the only ones up to no good! The cat-people got in on the action too! Kitty and Panther were spotted in the Inn, drinking, and exchanging one-liners. Panther was getting a lot of attention from the ladies last night! At one point he had THREE lovelies petting him. He certainly didn't seem opposed to the attention!!! Panther the P-I-M-P!!!

Jewell, Reap, Baker, and Jade (yeah, a real brain trust) gathered at the bar to discuss whether or not Cor is secretly the Gossip GangSTAR. Reap and Baker advised Jewell that our paper version is actually printed in the O.O.! We must admit that this conspiracy theory intrigues us. However, we must agree with Jewell on this one -- Marc Franco IS Marc Franco! The one and only!

Shortly after Jade forgot all those wonderful strides that she's made recently towards becoming a classy broad. In the middle of the Inn and not at all in a quiet voice, she stated that she had "banged" Stephen's brother Robert. Stephen certainly appeared stunned. Far more stunned than we are, Robert readily admits to being a man-whore and as much as Jade denies it, we all know deep down she's a raging slut!

BRIGATH!!! The HAWTEST man in RhyDin made one of his drool worthy appearances on Twilight Island in order to face off against Keeper Etherean Esperwind! The challenge had historical significance for the Island as Esper had with his last defense tied Brig's record in number of times defending a tower. Therefore, by challenging Esper, Brig had the chance of protecting the title he shares with Esper should he win and if Esper should win he had the opportunity to supersede Brig. Some of the Island's best mages were there to witness the fireworks, including Lem, Topaz, and Illusia! It seemed most of the crowd was in Brig's corner (and, really, who wouldn't want to be in Brig's corner?) but that wasn't enough to get Brig a title back. Keeper Esper defended his right to hold the key to the Tower of Fire!
