So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, JOAN CRAWFORD fought BLOCK HEAD and gained 14 points and contributed to MOMMY DEAREST's 1-1-0. BLOCK HEAD has lost to JOAN CRAWFORD, falling 7 points, while helping make ADEPT'S OF XOAN a 0-4-0 turn. And not without some honor, DREAMER now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of DULLENS. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Your Humble Abode Massage Parlor until they win. Maybe? The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. 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 avoiding ADEPT'S OF XOAN more than any other team we find MOMMY DEAREST. DULLENS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? PRISONER ZC01 must have surprised DUNGEON CELL ZC3 this turn, after they sent him to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold him! You gotta do what you gotta do. DUNGEON CELL ZC3 has sent PRISONER TP to the Dark Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and toast the memory. DUNGEON CELL ZC3 has some questions to answer. Like 'why did you kill your fighter, PRISONER TP, who had a record of 12-6-0?' A farewell moment, if you please, PLAETOI of ADEPT'S OF XOAN has been sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on its shield. This is not good to see. Why pray tell has PLAETOI been sent to the Dark Arena by ADEPT'S OF XOAN? And why with a 9-2-1 record?? ADEPT'S OF XOAN made what looks to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent STUMPY, with a record of 5-6-0, to STUMPY death. Farewell, its. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in DULLENS and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails.
