DM 78 LIN TIRIAN (turn 468): KURTAL DUCK of SAND DANCERS (Jorja, mgr.) SPY REPORT Good day, in ZUKAL 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 BLUE MOON is pushed out of top team by SERPENTS HOLD 3, who came from 3rd with a 2-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for HOT STUFF, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 6th. QUEEN stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, TOREADOR fought NERISA TEAL and gained 26 points and contributed to DARK WARDS' 3-0-1. JED TARRAN DAPP has lost to BO RHAP, falling 7 points, while helping make BLUE MOON a 2-3-0 turn. Due to hers absence and inability to defend the throne, G-STRING has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should ask TOREADOR about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Blue Boar Inn until they win. Maybe? He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. THE WILLBURYS 9 has cause to stand tall, as they were ZUKAL's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding THE WILLBURYS 9 more than any other team we find DARK WARDS. ZUKAL, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was PAPERBOYS' warrior THROUGH THE WINDOW. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. Hearty mugs of ale were raised in ZUKAL today as NERISA TEAL was bid farewell to a 9-4-0 warrior, with TOREADOR of DARK WARDS standing silent and pensive. I wish to point out for QUEEN that there is but a single turn before BLUE MOON and their warrior, BLAMMO, will get away with killing WE WILL ROCK YOU. 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 TOREADOR 4948 19 13 3 104 DARK WARDS (451) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -KATANA 5570 10 5 0 114 BATTEL BLADES (516) -SILK GARTER 5536 12 9 1 106 HOT STUFF (504) VENTRIIE 4987 25 4 0 103 DARK WARDS (451) BLAMMO 5571 21 17 1 96 BLUE MOON (381) -LADYHAWKE 4289 12 9 0 92 THE WILLBURYS 9 (257) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLUE STREAK 5574 18 18 0 81 BLUE MOON (381) -SURADNA 4368 8 2 0 74 THE WILLBURYS 9 (257) -MIDNIGHT 5568 10 2 0 72 BATTEL BLADES (516) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLUE FUNK 5589 16 16 2 70 BLUE MOON (381) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BO RHAP 5613 8 7 0 65 QUEEN (522) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BICYCLE RACE 5609 5 0 0 55 QUEEN (522) JED TARRAN DAPP 5597 14 12 0 54 BLUE MOON (381) THROUGH THE WINDOW 5398 4 39 0 51 PAPERBOYS (502) -KERNAL 4629 5 2 0 37 THE WILLBURYS 9 (257) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PINK PANTIES 5615 3 1 0 32 HOT STUFF (504) RECOIL 5641 3 0 0 29 SERPENTS HOLD 3 (525) SCALES 5637 3 0 0 27 SERPENTS HOLD 3 (525) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK PRIEST 5650 1 0 0 12 DARK WARDS (451) -RED KIMONA 5628 1 1 0 9 HOT STUFF (504) BODY LANGUAGE 5631 1 1 1 5 QUEEN (522) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
