So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the difference, as CHILDREN OF LLYR is pushed out of top team by FLIPPERS ARCADE, who came from 2nd with a 3-0-0 this turn. And let's see, COMMODUS fought FLASH and gained 18 points and contributed to THE GODS ARE ANGRY's 1-4-0. FLASH has lost to COMMODUS, falling 9 points, while helping make THE BEARS a 0-4-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and Q*BERT remains MURSKA's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Howling Wolf 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. I also notice that the CHILDREN OF LLYR stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on MURSKA, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided CHILDREN OF LLYR stable the most? Believe it or not, it was THE GODS ARE ANGRY. Anyone surprised? We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? 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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in MURSKA again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME Q*BERT 3928 25 18 5 126 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BALIN 3955 18 8 0 91 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) JUNGLE KING 3930 17 26 0 91 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITFALL HARRY 3927 16 24 0 84 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) -CRAZY IVAN 2611 9 7 2 75 BERSERK FURY (176) TOURNEY SCUM 3943 16 1 0 67 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -KABOB 2439 9 21 0 62 BERSERK FURY (176) -JANICE JOPLIN 3891 4 0 1 61 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CULANN COONTZ 3984 6 3 0 52 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) BILDIS 3978 5 9 0 51 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) LOONY 3990 3 0 0 41 ERRATA (371) -PERRY COMATOSE 2570 6 2 0 35 BERSERK FURY (176) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AIDAN O'KAI 3989 5 2 0 30 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRENNA 3995 5 0 0 23 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) COMMODUS 4002 1 0 0 18 THE GODS ARE ANGRY (63) -LARDY 3994 1 0 0 10 ERRATA (371) -CRAZY 3991 0 1 0 7 ERRATA (371) FLASH 3996 1 1 1 5 THE BEARS (253) GRIZZLY 4009 0 1 0 2 THE BEARS (253) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
