DM 75 JADE MOUNTAIN (turn 502): STREGOICA of DARKSTALKER2 (Hombre, mgr.) SPY REPORT Hail RIZTAB! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as DREAMERS is pushed out of top team by SWEET MAGIC, who came from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn. And let's see, TAFFY fought HELIODORUS and gained 14 points and contributed to SWEET MAGIC's 3-2-0. HELIODORUS has lost to TAFFY, falling 11 points, while helping make DREAMERS a 1-4-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, AESARA kept SWEET MAGIC's warrior, NELLI POLITANA, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade? The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the DREAMERS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on RIZTAB, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided DREAMERS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was KAOS FROGS. Anyone surprised? The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in RIZTAB and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails.

I mean, it would be okay if the others won, too, BUT, if only one is going to win, best it's me, you know? So I've been talking to a guy on the lake-front, and he has helped me to assemble a... um. A mud pie? With "tastefully chosen" (bleh!) layers of mud. All for you. -- Nelli Politana And a couple more losses to dreamers.
