My one big concern was that some tourney stud horse would pop up out of nowhere and wax me. Fortunately, while the first part of that fear is exactly what happened, as Deano of Mark's Party materialized to get a title fight, not only did I not get killed, but I took him out. Looks like I'll be fighting an immortal Deano again next turn. That should be more interesting, I think. Too bad his name is so terribly lame. Well, who am I to judge? At least his name isn't a typo. One more time, I'm here, I am Duelmaster and I am... Lucky Devil SPY REPORT Hail MALCORN! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. And let's see, WREN fought CHANGE and gained 18 points and contributed to GREENWARDENS' 3-2-0. SLEEPY HOUSE has lost to SARA, falling 13 points, while helping make BLIND MELON a 2-3-0 turn. Well done, MALCORN, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps LUCK DEVIL is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times. DEANO challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone THE DEVIL'S OWN's warrior. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and LUCK DEVIL remains MALCORN's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Drake's Barbecue uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. MARKS PARTY has cause to stand tall, as they were MALCORN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided MARKS PARTY stable the most? Believe it or not, it was THE DEVIL'S OWN. Anyone surprised? We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? 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, MALCORN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in MALCORN and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in MALCORN again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUCK DEVIL 5162 13 4 1 133 THE DEVIL'S OWN (517) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TONES OF HOME 5125 9 2 0 94 BLIND MELON (514) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SABBATH 2806 7 3 0 79 CRUCIAL TAUNT (291) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OGRE 2776 7 6 1 64 CRUCIAL TAUNT (291) WREN 5167 9 17 0 61 GREENWARDENS (244) DUSKBLOOD PUDDING 5150 5 1 1 57 SHEWISH BUFFET (516) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHANGE 5126 7 4 0 50 BLIND MELON (514) SARA 2783 8 4 0 49 CRUCIAL TAUNT (291) BADGER 5197 9 3 0 40 GREENWARDENS (244) NO RAIN 5124 6 5 1 40 BLIND MELON (514) SLEEPY HOUSE 5123 7 4 1 37 BLIND MELON (514) ERIC 2791 8 3 0 35 CRUCIAL TAUNT (291) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AXEL 5213 2 1 0 28 CRUCIAL TAUNT (291) LITTLE BITER 5206 5 4 0 27 GREENWARDENS (244) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TREESHADOW 5211 2 5 0 12 GREENWARDENS (244) HOON 5214 1 0 0 11 BLIND MELON (514) FRIED OGRE 5217 1 1 0 6 SHEWISH BUFFET (516) SNOWFOOT 5224 0 1 0 1 GREENWARDENS (244) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

No reason to get suddenly annoyed and beat up on me like that! -- Little Biter Axel -- Damn, I thought you were a tree, and I was just going to stand quietly on your shady side and... whammo. Ouch. -- Treeshadow Ogre -- Stupid beast. I hope a whole FLOCK of birds comes along and commits a nuisance on your head. You've got it coming. -- Wren Duskblood Pudding -- Uggh.... Horrible stuff. -- Ghost of Blackoak P.S. If golems have ghosts. Change -- Yeah, change always does that for me. And it wraps up an oh-fer turn for us, too.
