White Cats of Queen Beruthiel -3
Tom - 7

One of the cats was heard to hiss as she left:
Quote:
"Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back."
Btw, about the seeding pitting strong candidates against each
other in the first round, I sympathize- and probably objectively
agree- but the reasoning was twofold a) to give longshots a
punchers chance of advancing several rounds, and b) to mitigate
favorites getting virtual byes and make the start of the contest
in the first round overall more competitive. I think the actual effect
is probably minimal, making rounds 1,3,4 the more competitive as
contrasted to 2,3, 4 in more usual seeding.

OOPS! Next up is one of those tough first round matches:
Smaug vs. Drauglin

About Smaug:
Quote:
"To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There is no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful."

"It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. [...] His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted. His fire belched forth, the hall smoked, he shook the mountain-roots. [...] He issued from the Gate, the waters rose in fierce whistling steam, and up he soared blazing into the air and settled on the mountain-top in a spout of green and scarlet flame."
About Drauglin:
Quote:
A dread beast, old in evil lord and sire of the werewolves of Angband.

A mightier shadow slowly filled
the narrow bridge, a slavering hate,
an awful werewolf fierce and great:
pale Draugluin, the old grey lord
of wolves and beasts of blood abhorred,
that fed on flesh of Man and Elf
beneath the chair of Thû himself.

Draugluin stands no chance.

++Smaug

This one was a no-brainer. Smaug! Smaug! Hail Smaug, the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities!

Well for a dragon Smaug is an okay chap... But my general opinion on dragons is no secret.

++Draugluin

I'm not even that fond of wolves, but werewolves are certainly better than some dragons.

Excellent and witty repartee with Bilbo. The old Draugr? Not much more than snarling. I'll take acerbic dialogue over growls any day.

Witty, Intelligent, powerful. Just a little on the arrogant side.

Well, it seems Fate has given me an omen. Just as I read the latest round, this quote appeared at the top of the webpage:

Quote:
"My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords,
my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt,
my wings a hurricane, and my breath death."
Smaug
So, ++Smaug the Golden it is.
