Pitfall Harry, what a surprise to see you...dropping into that pit. What really amazes me is that the maintenance crew lets you dig the pit there in the first place. You'd think they would be against it. Of course, they may be so lazy--this arena positively encourages them to goof off--that they don't even NOTICE. There have been instances of other fights tripping and falling into mysterious pits. Balin SPY REPORT Good day, in MURSKA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE BEARS, whose 1-2-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 7th. And let's see, PACIFIST fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 20 points and contributed to PHILANTHROPISTS' 1-3-0. BILDIS has lost to HYPER VIPER, falling 16 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a 4-1-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, BALIN kept FLIPPERS ARCADE's warrior, PITFALL HARRY, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Howling Wolf? I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. CHILDREN OF LLYR has cause to stand tall, as they were MURSKA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided CHILDREN OF LLYR stable the most? Believe it or not, it was ERRATA. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that BRENNA from CHILDREN OF LLYR was MURSKA's most challenged warrior this turn. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. 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 the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BALIN 3955 24 8 0 138 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOONY 3990 7 0 0 91 ERRATA (371) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITFALL HARRY 3927 18 28 0 90 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CULANN COONTZ 3984 10 5 0 88 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) JUNGLE KING 3930 18 31 0 85 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) TOURNEY SCUM 3943 21 2 0 80 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) AIDAN O'KAI 3989 10 3 1 76 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HYPER VIPER 3646 13 13 0 66 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) VEXED VIKING 3641 9 8 0 66 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) GARTH THE SEAMITE 3748 15 11 1 64 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -JANICE JOPLIN 3891 4 0 1 61 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BILDIS 3978 7 13 0 47 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) DURIN 3935 3 0 0 35 LORD OF MORIA (367) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SIR PSYCHO 3707 2 0 0 30 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) NI 3945 2 3 0 29 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) GRIZZLY 4009 2 1 0 29 THE BEARS (253) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRENNA 3995 8 3 0 27 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -FLASH 3996 2 1 1 23 THE BEARS (253) UGLY GENTLEMAN 3582 4 6 0 22 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) BOOMSHAKALAKA 3611 2 3 0 22 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) AHANTI GRAVETT 3747 2 0 0 21 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) ALCARESE 3946 1 0 0 20 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) PACIFIST 3939 1 0 0 20 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) LAELAMESTO 3745 1 1 0 14 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) ORDENASH 3950 1 0 0 10 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) SHYBEL GIBBEN 3979 1 0 0 9 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) MR SHORTSWORD 3746 0 1 0 1 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

This is amazingly exciting! -- Brenna P.S. Why didn't you teach me more than one skill? You must know lots of stuff. Jungle King -- Your bananas are getting over-ripe. You might want to eat 'em or throw 'em out, because I don't think you're allowed to use them as an "odor weapon." -- Culann Coontz P.S. At least, I hope not! Tourney Scum -- Totally no surprise in this match. No FUN, mind you, but no surprise, either. -- Aidan O'Kai Loony -- If that's an error, we should all be so lucky. -- Bildis P.S. Or at least, *I* should be so lucky. Ghost of Crazy -- Wow, that's got to bite. -- Jorja P.S. But I do think it was wrong of the arenamaster, excuse me, arena-MISTRESS to allow the Cult Member to turn the whole match into a formal sacrifice.
