The Dark One was seething! Dio was Duelmaster, how could this be? Dio was not even an original member of Sabbath, NIB had recruited him to fill in while Ozzy was gone. The mas was a half-wit, yet he just kept on winning, it made no sense. Ozzy's hand snaked out, as he snatched a passing bat mid flight. As he bit the bat's head off, Ozzy contemplated how he could profit from this fluke that Dio had become. As Ozzy threw the bat's carcass to Warpig, he heard Lord Abraxis' voice in his head, "Go to two toed Gurk, the bookmaker, bet against Dio, he can't keep winning!" Ozzy smiled and began to laugh maniacally, he was alread counting his winnings! * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 598): JETSAM of SEA DOGS (One-Armed Bandit, mgr.)

Huh, how does this keep happening? Dio, just want to fight, not care about stupid titles! Let's fight! Dio SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon KOLACT, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! SABBATH had cause to celebrate, after N.I.B. got 19 points by beating VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. WARPIG certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to REESE SILEEN and losing 10 points in the process! VETERAN MERCENARY found out that KOLACT isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DIO 5859 9 1 0 97 SABBATH (545) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME N.I.B. 5860 8 3 1 84 SABBATH (545) OZZY 5857 7 3 0 79 SABBATH (545) -CIRIC 970 9 3 2 68 VIKINGS (34) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME REESE SILEEN 5852 11 3 0 62 THE MOONDOGS (97) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BORO 888 10 11 2 51 VIKINGS (34) WARPIG 5858 8 3 1 50 SABBATH (545) -CHAGAN 1126 9 2 0 44 VIKINGS (34) IRON MAN 5856 7 3 1 42 SABBATH (545) -ROOK 5870 3 0 0 35 CHESS PIECES 10 (547) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUNAR COYOTE 5849 8 8 0 32 THE MOONDOGS (97) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SKYHAWK 1228 3 1 0 21 VIKINGS (34) DEIMOS 5876 3 2 0 19 THE MOONDOGS (97) -QUEEN 5869 2 0 0 17 CHESS PIECES 10 (547) ORBIN PAES 5877 1 2 0 14 THE MOONDOGS (97) JOLEEN KRUZ 5883 1 1 0 13 THE MOONDOGS (97) -BISHOP 5868 1 0 0 9 CHESS PIECES 10 (547) -HAGAR BLUETOOTH 5850 1 0 0 7 VIKINGS (34) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -KING 5867 0 1 0 5 CHESS PIECES 10 (547) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Lunar Coyote -- Snort, snort, grunt! -- Warpig Reese Sileen -- Join me in black, won't you? -- NIB Rook -- A tv challenge!

Ozzy -- Drat. I hate it when someone comes along and makes me look bad. What if Jorja notices? I might get fired! -- Reese Sileen Iron Man -- There must be a better way to do this.... -- Deimos Queen -- That's the pits. You're handicapped and you STILL win. This does not improve my day. -- Orbin Paes Hagar Bluetooth -- Phew! You could try brushing your teeth, using a mouthwash, or at LEAST keeping your mouth shut! -- Joleen Kruz Iron Man -- Yes, that was obvious. -- Lunar Coyote Our congratulations to the Rookie, Rook, for his tourney victor status. -- Jorja and the Moondogs LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DIO devastated VETERAN MERCENARY in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight.
