Second turn on the throne, no surprise, unlike that little pansy Faceless I'm not so easily beaten (or killed) by those bland stand-by warriors (knock on wood?). Dare I hope for a challenge from someone this turn? Sylith is so stupid. Last turn she learned nothing for the third time. I told her that the secret to learning more is to wait until it gets dark to fight. I think she fell for it.... Ho hum, think I'll take a nap. I want to be rested for my next fight. Smeds SPY REPORT I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit the road, Debby Tonte. MORDANT needs a spyreport." Oh, well. LAB EXPERIMENTS like really fought hard to move up to 6th from 9th. Way to go! MVP award for FISH BOWL MAN? KING'S TEN's proud of him after beating SWALLOWTAIL and getting 15 points. Talk about yer major upsets! SWALLOWTAIL's match with FISH BOWL MAN cost her a loss of 11 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! SMEDS stopped CHARK FORKBEARD dead in his tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said MORDANT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Conan's Place? Don't look at me! AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. The warriors of THE REVELATION must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why KING'S TEN's been avoiding THE REVELATION so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MORDANT ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!! SYLITH returns from the Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at hers THE BLACK COMPANY teammates... Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.) Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been really albendranius!

Henchman? If you can't get me on the sands, there is no honor or glory in the alley. -- Talon Outlaw Inlaw -- The truly sick part of that learn is that when I max out in that skill...I will be 2 shy from a grand master. -- Talon Brick Wall -- Phew! Didn't know I had it in me! -- Julia Mark of the Blessed -- I think I used to work with your brother, Dave of the Blessed. Tell him I said "Hi." -- Black Flag Silent Wind -- Your problem is your silence. Speaking gives you the chance to relieve stress, and when stress is relieved, you can fight better. So you are being cursed by your silence. -- Haydan The Fals Prophet -- May you never have honor in your own town! -- Number Two P.S. Oh...that's why you came to Mordant, isn't it? Because you're not from here. Damn. Wretched hairy Dwarf! Julia -- Ah, you're one of those people who can "see through a brick wall in time," eh? Good work. -- Nick Johnny Ryall -- I wouldn't marry YOUR sister for anything! -- Outlaw Inlaw Numerologism -- You have an unlucky number. -- Rotten Headcold Smeds -- (indignantly) You mean you're black under FALSE PRETENSES? -- Haydan P.S. So what would be a true pretense, I wonder? Fish Bowl Man -- No, I consider gills cheating. You probably don't even have SINUSES. -- Rotten Headcold 8 April 2004 CLICK (KLK) -- Remember, you asked for it.
