January 1996
There was a strong turnout for the 4th Diamond Quest... and we were able to get started right away... This was to be a round-robin tourney.. each fighter fighting the others once, the winner being the one with the most wins. Each fight would go to 5 points, or 15 rounds.. ties would be allowed.
The 7 participants were paired off randomly, and these 6 fought in the first round with the following results..
1) AragornKoG def. ShanniCltn, 5 to 4 in 13
2) JakeThrash def. MorganCrow, 5 to 4 in 12
3) Lord Hrvst def. Percival, 5 to 4 in 15
The winners then moved up a ring, with Aragorn taking a break, allowing Saja to step in against Percy. Since the first three matches were so closely matched and took so long to complete (just 5 rounds shy of the maximum allowed!), Ian R Mack stepped in to help call the remaining bouts, and here's the result of round 2:
4) ShanniCltn def. JakeThrash, 5 to 2 in 6
5) Lord Hrvst def. MorganCrow, 5 to 4 in 12
6) Percival def. SajaIyones, 5 to 3 in 6
Again, winners moved up to the next ring, Ara came back in while Shanni took a break, and in the third round, we saw this:
7) JakeThrash def. Lord Hrvst, 5 to 3 in 12
8) Percival def. MorganCrow, 5 to 4 in 14
9) SajaIyones def. AragornKoG, 5 to 3 in 12
Things then had to be shuffled around to make sure we were getting pairings that hadn't happened already.. and in the next round of fights we saw this:
10) Percival def. JakeThrash, 5 to 1 in 8
11) AragornKoG def. MorganCrow, 5 to 4 in 12
12) SajaIyones def. ShanniCltn, 5 to 3 in 11
By this time.. 3 fighters were standing out.. Aragorn, Percival, and SajaIyones.. especially after this round of duels:
13) AragornKoG def. JakeThrash, 5 to 3 in 13
14) SajaIyones def. MorganCrow, 5 to 3 in 7
15) ShanniCltn def. Lord Hrvst, 5 to 4 in 11
Ian called the fight between Shanni and Hrvst rather quickly, and while the other two duels were still going on he called this bout:
16) Percival dev. ShanniCltn, 5 to 1 in 8
This dropped Shanni from contention for her second title bid.
Then this fight saw Aragorn's chances for the Diamond fade away..
17) Percival def. AragornKoG, 5 to 2 in 11
Only one duelist had a chance to tie Percival's 5-1 record, that was SajaIyones.. if she could defeat Lord Hrvst and JakeThrash.. Her and Percy would have to duke it out in a tie breaker.. Alas.. Hrvst dashed those hopes in a leap-frog match that he busted open in the 6th round and took victory in the 8th.
18) Lord Hrvst def. SajaIyones, 5 to 2 in 8
Percival was then handed the coveted Diamond rank-stone by his predecessor, JakeThrash, who graciously handed it over from his position on his back in ring 1, and then proceeded to bite Percy's foot. Sources are still checking, but this may have been some obscure orc ritual we witnessed there.
Here's the final tally..
Percival 5-1 *Diamond Quest Winner*
AragornKoG 3-2 (one duel not needed)
JakeThrash 2-3 (one duel not needed)

Minor Trivia:
There were 181 rounds fought over 18 duels for an average of 10 rounds per duel.
The average score of the losers in each duel was 3. (I didn't check, but I assume the average for the winners was 5 ;)
Percival fought the most rounds with 66, SajaIyones the least with 48. However, had the last fight with Aragorn vs Lord Hrvst been needed, either of them may have surpassed Percival in round count as they were at 61 and 58 resprectively.
