At 9:10PM on Monday night, January 7, 2008, four of the mages of Twilight Isle gathered to fling spells to see who would face Will Wulfson for the title of Celestial Keeper. A round robin format was picked with the number of duelers. The four mages were Topaz Datrazanov, Vincent VM Smith, Lem DeAngelo and Tasslehofl Momus.

Round one saw Vinny going against Lem and Tass squaring off against Topaz. Vinny and Lem treaded spells to start off then Vinny took the next round and never gave up the lead, taking his duel in 9 rounds with a score of 5.5-3.
Tass took a slight lead in his then Topaz tied it up in the next round. Tass kept pulling away, never giving up his lead until round 16 when Topaz ties it. That was it for Tass as Topaz scored in the next two rounds to take this duel 6.5-5 in what turned out to be the longest duel of the night, 18 rounds.


Round two had Vinny facing Tass and Topaz going head to head with Lem. The guys started off slow then Vinny pulled away but allowed Tass to catch up in round 5, tying it in the next round. Tass took the lead in the eighth before Vinny tied it up in the ninth, taking the lead in the tenth. Vinny kept the lead until round 14 when Tass tied it before Vinny too the win in the fifteenth, with a mind whip getting though the ghostly Tass for a score of 5-4. Topaz though had no problem keeping the lead in her duel even though Lem scored first. She took the lead in the second and never gave it up, winning in eight with a score of 5.5-2.5.

Lem departed the Isle since he had no chance of winning and Tass took a seat as Topaz and Vinny battled to see who would face Will. Vinny took a slight lead, holding it for a couple of rounds before Topaz tied it in round three. She built a good lead until Vinny started coming back, tying it in round seven, then he pulled away, winning the match in 11 rounds.

Vincent and William will battle it out Tuesday night at 9PM to see who claims the title of Celestial Keeper.
