So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as THE GOLDEN FISH is pushed out of top team by THE RUNAROUND, who came from 2nd with a 4-0-0 this turn. And let's see, LUCY fought MORDANT DESERTER and gained 15 points and contributed to MENTOR DEMENTOR's 3-1-0. TEH HADDOCK has lost to HARDY BART, falling 10 points, while helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 2-3-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between ARCHED EYELID and our Duelmaster MIKE PIAZZA, making a challenge. And not without some honor, ARCHED EYELID now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of NIANIA. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Jim's Tap Room until they win. Maybe? The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. THE RUNAROUND has cause to stand tall, as they were NIANIA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided THE RUNAROUND stable the most? Believe it or not, it was YELLOWSTONE YOGIS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was THE RUNAROUND's warrior ARCHED EYELID. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ARCHED EYELID 5775 21 8 0 109 THE RUNAROUND (381) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANSWER PACK 5953 14 7 2 99 THE RUNAROUND (381) MIKE PIAZZA 3621 10 1 0 97 YELLOWSTONE YOGIS (439) PIKESTAVE 5930 18 31 2 91 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HEAD CHEESE 6081 8 1 0 71 STINKY MEAT (698) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HARDY BART 6077 7 3 1 59 THE RUNAROUND (381) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GENERAL PATTERN 5955 11 10 2 47 THE RUNAROUND (381) TEH HADDOCK 6056 8 9 0 40 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CORTICAL GIANT 6042 4 1 0 40 HOMUNCULUS (695) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SAM THE WHALE 6055 7 11 0 32 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) BUTTER THE BEST 6066 5 8 0 32 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -EAU DE PERE 5789 2 17 0 23 THE RUNAROUND (381) -PIG'S FEET 6082 4 3 1 20 STINKY MEAT (698) DEPP 6071 2 1 0 17 MENTOR DEMENTOR (697) GWAR 6074 1 2 0 16 MENTOR DEMENTOR (697) LUCY 6090 1 0 0 15 MENTOR DEMENTOR (697) GLITTERING REEF 6102 2 0 0 14 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) FLO 6092 0 1 0 5 MENTOR DEMENTOR (697) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
