And let's see, CARRIE PR fought DREAMER and gained 14 points and contributed to MOMMY DEAREST's 4-0-2. DREAMER has lost to CARRIE PR, falling 9 points, while helping make DREAMERS a 0-1-0 turn. This turn SIGMOND FREUD - ST Dark Arena Challenged POTATO GOLEM in what was DULLENS' Title bout. Defending his title for another turn, SIGMOND FREUD - ST kept DARK ARENA's warrior, POTATO GOLEM, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Sleepy Smithy until they win. Maybe? Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. ADEPT'S OF XOAN has cause to stand tall, as they were DULLENS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided ADEPT'S OF XOAN stable the most? Believe it or not, it was MOMMY DEAREST. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that DREAMER from DREAMERS was DULLENS' most challenged warrior this turn. 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. SIGMOND FREUD - ST must have surprised MOMMY DEAREST this turn, after they sent him to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold him! I guess it was coming sooner or later, ADEPT'S OF XOAN has lost BLADE DANCER, and DULLENS is bound to miss it. For a little while, at least. 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. I like this place, DULLENS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.
