Actually, it appears that I have a prior commitment that slipped my mind. I am going to have to regretfully remove myself from this competition. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and good luck to the other competitors.

Details to follow from the esteemed Tera Destre, but in the meantime, the Outback staff would like to extend hearty congratulations to everyone's favorite PIE-RAT, Napoleon, for besting a strong field of 12 to take hold of the Panther's Claw!

Napoleon, your training sessions at the Iron Fists Academy have been arranged; they look forward to working with you.

Well done!

Panther’s Claw Tournament!
January 14, 2008

What an awesome spectacle this was folks! If you weren’t at this Tournament did you ever miss something! Of course there was quite the crowd of notables that did attend to cheer their favorites on so perhaps you were among them. If not you best keep watch for when the next Duel of Fists shindig is gonna take place!

Matt and me, me would be Tera “Des” Starfare, got to call this grand and glorious fist fighting extravaganza that had no less than TWELVE hopefuls entered. They were in order of seeding: Miranda, Napoleon, Erin, Soerl, Alyson, Miriya, Jewell, Gabriel, Lydia, Dakota, Dark Yuki, Teagan. Now before things got started Dark Yuki got snatched and Summer arrived wanting to get beat on some so she entered and was given Dark Yuki’s spot in the line up.

Oh! I still ain’t told ya what we were all there for. The Panther’s Claw was up for grabs folks! Rena had it for the last couple of months and the benefit of holding it is one more fancy or feint above your current rank on the standings that you normally have. Due to their being so many desiring the prize this here night I decided to make this a one shot deal. Single elimination was the name of the game tonight. Winner take all each and every round and boy howdy did these here folks ever put up fights!

In the first round of fights it went a little something like this. Miranda sat down Teagan 5 - 2 in 5 rounds. Napolean did the same to Summer 5 - 2 in 7 rounds. Miriya defeated Jewell in 7 rounds as they both jabbed to a final score of 5 - 3. Lydia chopped her way to victory against Soerl 5 - 3 in 12 rounds and Dakota had the faster kick in round 11 after sudden death against Erin.

Round two matches had Dakota’s foot again bringing him a win this time over Miranda at 5 - 2 in 7 rounds while Napoleon’s rat fist finished off Lydia also with a score of 5 - 2 only their was in 8 rounds. Gabriel jabbed Miriya for a final score of 5 - 1 in 6 rounds to advance.

Round three was over rather quickly as Gabriel defaulted to Dakota and we quickly moved on to the fourth and final round that saw Dakota facing Napoleon for all the GLORY!!!

Dakota got on the board first but Napoleon used his rat fist in the second round and was on the board too! Round 3 neither scored but in 4 Napoleon scurried really fast! In 5 Dakota used that foot that seemed to work well tonight to bring the scored tied up at 2 All but in 6 the PiRATe pulled ahead again as the rat army entered to cheer him on!!!

I must admit at this point things got a bit frightening for those gathered to watch as there was quite a large number of rats in the rat army and they were not quiet about their cheering. I saw one patron of The Outback grab a shoe, it was not their shoe I might add but they had a shoe ready to hurl if need be, and others well let’s just say it wasn’t pretty.

Round 7 the rat was blocked and in 8 he got chopped! I was thinking Napoleon at this point was wishing he was back behind the bar again sniffing out crusty pieces of stale bread or being fed cookies again by I think it was Hodge. Not that the PiRATe was being spoiled between duels. I have to wonder if that was what gave him the ability to flip Dakota in round 9 bringing the score to 4 - 3 rat’s favor. I had never seen anything like that in all my born days. Then they were at SUDDEN DEATH as Dakota got revenge for that!

It was the 12th round and both were cautious so I just waited for the next with breath held as the rat army continued to look on and cheer. Dakota wasn’t just waiting though he was gaining position in 13. But in 14 Napoleon took him downtown for the win and the Panther’s Claw!!!! 5 - 4 final score.

Congrats Napoleon!!!

Well tried everyone that fought!!!

Thank you to everyone that came!!!
