GOOD NEWS
A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart, and good news makes you feel fit as
a fiddle. --- Proverbs 15:30 The Message
There was cause for Rejoicing and Celebration in the Great Dining Hall of the Aaaarrgh
Hammerz (3) Stable, as the beautiful Half Elf Thia Salanora presided over the
feasting!
The Veteran Manager known far and wide as Hammer, along with their new gladiator
trainer Lady Mandalorian, were commending the five assembled gladiators for their 5-0
fight results during the previous cycle!
Ori Starbloom, the Telorinthe Arena Spy Reporter, had not only mentioned their 10-5-2
Record over the past three Turns as the Top Team in Telo Arena, she also proclaimed
Aaaarrgh Hammerz (3) as This Turnbs Biggest Movers!
She also lauded Telo Zebra Hammer for crushing her opponent Buffarilla, plus several
of her (Not His) Teammates chalking up Decisive Wins!
Aaaarrgh Hammerz (3) were also listed as the [45 Point Gain] Top Team On The Move!
Telo Zebra Hammer, Mando Telo Hammer, Hello Telo Hammer, Telo Pyker Hammer and Manda
Telo Hammer were basking in the glory of the results of their consistently hard
training!
Thia Salanora praised the gladiators: Your Training Results Finally Got You Noticed By
Ori Starbloom!
Hammer was also pleased with their current results: Continue Your Training to
Graduation!
Lady Mandalorian had successfully drilled into their collective hearts and heads all
that her Veteran Manager had shared with her over the years:
May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper! -- Hammer, Minister of War
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, what do you know? A Hero takes the throne!
The boss told me to share, so I'm sharing. Not sure what I'm sharing or why... but
still...
Let's see...
Mr. Elbidercni is doing well on the Isle. Believe it or not, he's the best known
warrior up there from our fair city.
I may be there with him if I hold the throne for a few turns.
Well, I think that's it. I guess writing is my kryptonite (well, that and ABALACH-RE,
who tends to beat me like a drum when we meet up, but don't tell him that!)
-- Namrepus, DM of Telorinthe
SPY REPORT
Hiiii everyone! It's your favorite sparkly reporter, Ori Starbloom, here with the
latest shimmer and shake from the beautiful, but oh-so-quiet sands of Telorinthe. The
crowds were small this turn, but the action was mighty. Let's take a look at what
happened for Turn 239.
A big, sparkly congratulations to our newest Duelmaster, Ride or Die! After a gutsy
performance against Namrepus, Ride or Die is now Telorinthe's reigning champion! This
marks a long climb to the top with a 28-20 record. Riff-Raff must be beaming with
pride at this accomplishment. Ride or Die was happy and a little bruised when I saw
him after the fight.
Meanwhile, Ride or Die's teammate, Nothingburger, continues to prove that being
blandly named doesn't mean being boring. He crushed Ecaps Ghost in a battle that had
the crowd on its feet. Abalach-Re posted a challenge to Namtab, and she may deserve a
toast later tonight for exercising patience and unyielding willpower. Scimitars help,
too. They actually help a lot!
Now, let's take a moment to appreciate AAAARRGH Hammerz! They've hammered their way to
the top team position (pun intended). Between Hello Telo Hammer's decisive win over
Rednow Woman or Telo Zebra Hammer's thrilling edge-out win over Raam, this team has
the crowd screaming "AAAARRGH!" for all the right reasons.
Friends, I have to tell you that I am a little worried about our fair sands.
Telorinthe is getting lonely. Once, our arena was buzzing with more excitement and
more teams. The happy few teams that keep the fires of our arena burning are
appreciated, but we should all be looking to add more teams to the mix. Invite your
friends, taunt your enemies, take on an apprentice, or even ask that cousin with
questionable hygiene to start up a stable! Bring them all to Telorinthe! Let's fill
the stands, flood the sands, and keep the magic alive. Until next time!
