Now that I'm faced with it, I find that the time of the Fools Tourney is a poor one to graduate. True, they SAY that favorites are set when a gladiator first enters the system, but... what besides the influence of the Fools Tourney could have resulted in me having the war flail as a favorite? Moderate/ moderate, bash tactic. It's ridiculous. And, as you can see, it didn't suffice to stop the Virginal Concubine. Darned she-cat. Norm Quesha SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of ARKERS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see FIELDER win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, AKANAH beat PENNY and PENNY lost 4 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ARKERS may be getting bland, as NORM QUESHA stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... KEE, a glorious 7-8-0 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad STRANGE UNIVERSE. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. What does the ARKERS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of ARKERS. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AKANAH 4182 9 2 0 59 STRANGE UNIVERSE (455) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -URA GONER 5214 5 1 0 84 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIELDER 5276 3 0 1 54 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) PENNY 5261 3 3 0 53 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) IMERTA LOEL 5225 7 21 0 51 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) -KAZANDRA KRUEL 4460 3 0 1 49 TRIAL BY COMBAT (512) IMA SLAYER 5271 5 1 1 46 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) KOTTER NAHL 5197 5 31 0 46 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) LELAND OLVEN 5262 7 6 1 42 MIDDLE WAY 11 (546) -ANGELA DEATH 4310 4 3 1 39 TRIAL BY COMBAT (512) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CONSEQUENCE 5212 1 0 1 27 CONSANGUINEOUS (567) -BLOPE 3781 3 2 0 25 STRANGE UNIVERSE (455) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MOMMA CASKET 4311 2 5 1 18 TRIAL BY COMBAT (512) -MUNCHER 4515 1 0 0 12 STRANGE UNIVERSE (455) LUCKY 5313 1 0 0 10 YOU PAY I SLAY (373) -CRUSHER 5251 1 0 0 8 STAR HUNTER (603) -TYPHOID MARY 4739 1 1 0 4 TRIAL BY COMBAT (512) EVLYN 5320 0 1 0 1 STRANGE UNIVERSE (455) -SHIELD WALL 5253 0 1 0 1 STAR HUNTER (603) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Don't ask me "a pair of what?" because I haven't a clue. -- Kotter Nahl Kee -- Another strange one. Mildly annoying. How do you feel about sushi-grade tuna? I've got a couple of steaks.... -- Imerta Loel Fielder -- And that wraps up an oh-fer turn for us. What a thrill. -- Leland Olven I have no idea where--or when--our fifth gladiator went astray. I may have to actually (gasp) ask for a replacement! -- Jorja, pondering the unsatisfying Middle Way Jorja -- Strategy changes might help. -- the unsatisfied Middle Way LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS NORM QUESHA devastated NOBLE ASSASSIN in a 1 minute gruesome mismatched fight.
