I enjoyed all the entries, and the various treacheries found within! I have tallied, and tallied again...and
Baron wins!

: Baron's great writing has earned him the poisoned, blood-red Dagger o' Gladiatorial Guile

: Mandle, creator of this round's dastardliest character, receives the silver Dagger of Despicable Dastardliness

: Blondbraid gets the blonde Dagger of Crafty Coldness for A Cold Blade
Good times, you are up Baron. Hehe, Dirty Phoenician bit. That will stick with me for a while.
