     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ALJAFIR this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there 
are sorrows to drown for SATAN'S KINGDOM, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 
into 11th.  WRATHMEN 25-112 stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 3 space move 
up the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
YOU'RE NOT GOOD fought COMO and gained 32 points and contributed to THE SHOWOFFS' 
1-2-0.  SNACKY DEFENDER has lost to AEGIR, falling 10 points, while helping make 
COVEY a 1-1-0 turn.  And all eyes were on WHATEVER COLORS this turn as he ascended to 
the throne of Duelmaster.  ALJAFIR has a new victor!  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I 
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Vile Vizier uses trolls in their stew. 
Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the WHEN EAGLES DARE 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ALJAFIR, what are you afraid of? 
And guess who avoided WHEN EAGLES DARE stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
THE SHOWOFFS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was MIDDLE 
WAY's warrior RALF TANNER.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  YOU JUST LOST has departed ALJAFIR, leaving THE SHOWOFFS without their 
14-15-1 warrior.  Question, just what was his team doing at the taverns last night?  
A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the 
fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in ALJAFIR, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
