Greetings, Willaf! 'Tis I, Keenwind, and a new wind blows across the throne of the Duelmaster. Seems that Esmerelda didn't want the throne very much, considering how she folded under the weight of but a single attack thrown. Perhaps she will acquit herself better in her next bout. Not much else going on here in Willaf, to be honest. Apparently The Iron Council is back in business, but I'm not sure that affects us much here in our fair city. Still, good for the gladiatorial business in general to have another alliance to contend with. Until next time, Willaf, may the gods guide your blows straight and true! -- Keenwind, your Duelmaster SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. It was a tough week for FAR TRAVELERS, to drop 6 places in the rankings. Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, CADDYSHACK has advanced 8 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for AWD GOGGIE, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing PALMER GREEN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was POWERWIND, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with SANDY POINT. Well, everybody's pal KEENWIND moved his record to 19-11-1 by defeating FINNY BONE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 10 recognition points. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that MENTOR-SHIPS3 was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of MENTOR-SHIPS3's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause TRICKSTERS beats feet every time MENTOR-SHIPS3 smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, PALMER GREEN would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, there's the manager of the WILLAF giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KEENWIND 7185 19 11 1 130 WINDS OF HOPE (703) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SANDY POINT 6620 10 8 0 99 WORLD BLADES (614) BUCCA-BOO 7127 16 7 0 96 TRICKSTERS (704) -ESMERELDA 7163 16 6 0 92 FAR TRAVELERS (434) FREEDOM 7104 11 1 2 91 MENTOR-SHIPS3 (701) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AWD GOGGIE 7128 17 10 0 90 TRICKSTERS (704) FINNY BONE 7148 17 24 1 89 PUNNY AMINALS (305) PALMER GREEN 6867 16 39 1 88 PUNNY AMINALS (305) POWERWIND 7215 10 8 1 77 WINDS OF HOPE (703) -IN RE BEER 4905 9 8 0 69 PORKCHOP EXPRESS (513) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOU LOOMIS 5760 8 4 0 66 CADDYSHACK (596) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BROKENWIND 7199 9 7 0 65 WINDS OF HOPE (703) WATERSHIP DOWN 7201 6 2 1 61 SATANS RABBITS (710) ODYSSEY 7105 8 4 0 58 MENTOR-SHIPS3 (701) -CLINT NICHOLSON 6941 5 4 2 58 PORKCHOP EXPRESS (513) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JUDGE SMAILS 5761 10 4 0 56 CADDYSHACK (596) MIO MI 7149 6 35 0 53 PUNNY AMINALS (305) DR BEEPER 5762 5 2 1 49 CADDYSHACK (596) -JIMMY RUSSELL 7239 2 1 0 45 WET & RECKLESS (713) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THIMBLEWIND 7217 7 10 0 33 WINDS OF HOPE (703) MIDAS TOUCH 7236 4 3 1 33 SAXON (712) ASPEN 7111 2 1 0 29 WORLD BLADES (614) HOWIE HOWITZER 7258 2 0 0 26 WRATHMEN 25-22 (714) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BROKEN HEROES 7232 4 3 2 17 SAXON (712) BAPTISM OF FIRE 7235 4 3 0 16 SAXON (712) BLOODLETTER 7272 2 1 0 16 SAXON (712) CALL TO ARMS 7255 2 2 0 15 SAXON (712) HUNTERWIND 7242 1 2 0 11 WINDS OF HOPE (703) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
