(turn 262): MADAM VENUSIA of SPARF! (Crip, mgr.) SPY REPORT Good day, in BONSUR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as SENTINELS is pushed out of top team by BEACH BABES, who came from 4th with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for CHURCH LADIES, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 7th. BONSUR LONG NAMES stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The BEACH BABES guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, GATEWAY fought ETUGEN KHAN and gained 22 points and contributed to REAVERS' 1-0-0. ETUGEN KHAN has lost to GATEWAY, falling 20 points, while helping make SENTINELS a 3-2-0 turn. Due to hers absence and inability to defend the throne, SUZIE has lost the title of Duelmaster. And all eyes were on ESCHER this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. BONSUR has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad? I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. UNDEAD ARTISTS has cause to stand tall, as they were BONSUR's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding UNDEAD ARTISTS more than any other team we find SENTINELS. BONSUR, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was BONSUR LONG NAMES' warrior THE BIBLE THUMPER. 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? I wish to point out for SERPENTS HOLD that there is but a single turn before CHURCH LADIES and their warrior, SUZIE, will get away with killing SONYA. 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. Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. Always good to rest in BONSUR, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns.

Still, I got the win which is all that really matters. -- Alphonso Bible Thumper -- At my house we always called 'em "Bible Bangers" growing up. And while they could be hostile, I never really thought I'd see anyone attempting to use one as a weapon in the arena. How's that working out for you? -- Ursa Major Well, Suzie, I suspect life will be easier for all here with you gone. Congrats on the early invite. -- The Sentinels Suzie -- Your ascension is well-deserved. Congratulations. -- Ramrod Escher -- I find myself mesmerized by your swordplay. Well done. -- Blackjack Throat Ripper -- That was what I had in mind for our *first* fight. -- Ballista Bonsur -- With some measure of amusement, I bring you... the Brutalizer. Stay deadly, my friends. -- Obregon Mary Ann -- Harsh behavior for a lady of the church! Shouldn't you be trying to persuade me with soft words or something? -- Luau Lila P.S. Not that I hold grudges (I like my hands free), so... come on over for the big dinner at the end of the week. It's going to be a total blowout! The Vicious Venomous Gigolo has been going around KILLING HOUSEPLANTS! We need to put a stop to this. -- Queenie, champion of geraniums and african violets The Arena Stalk -- Ah, skills! Fine things, skills. I'll take 'em. -- Kona Kate P.S. And the win, of course. Orsinius -- You Sentinels are always such a handful! But that's okay, I don't have anything against a man who's a handful. Come on over for the end-of-the-year bash, hey? Lila's doing the food, and Queenie's got the smash, and *I* am doing the "entertainment." -- Sarah Sundance, gonna dance that sun back up the sky Gateway -- You slammed that in my FACE. And you did it on purpose, too, didn't you? -- Redondo Rhonda P.S. Still, who am I stand out of the line? Come to dinner. Our congratulations to Suzie. -- Jorja and the Beach Babes LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS UNDEAD RANCHER was butchered by WURM KIN in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
