It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in MURSKA. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. CHILDREN OF LLYR now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for CULANN COONTZ, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing JUNGLE KING like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. PITFALL HARRY was subdued by BALIN and drops 7 points. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. GARTH THE SEAMITE did not fight this week so his title was forfeit. In front of all the crowds, PITFALL HARRY took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MURSKA arena. Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle. I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITFALL HARRY 3927 20 32 0 99 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GARTH THE SEAMITE 3748 20 11 1 130 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -HYPER VIPER 3646 16 15 1 113 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) -VEXED VIKING 3641 13 9 0 105 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) JUNGLE KING 3930 20 35 0 95 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CULANN COONTZ 3984 14 7 0 95 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -LOONY 3990 9 3 0 91 ERRATA (371) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOURNEY SCUM 3943 23 6 0 87 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JANICE JOPLIN 3891 4 0 1 61 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) -BOOMSHAKALAKA 3611 6 3 0 58 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -UGLY GENTLEMAN 3582 8 6 0 56 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) BILDIS 3978 9 17 0 50 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -NI 3945 3 3 0 47 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -ALE'CHAI TALLSKY 4026 4 0 0 46 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) BRENNA 3995 10 7 0 45 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -PACIFIST 3939 5 0 0 34 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LAELAMESTO 3745 4 2 0 30 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) -SIR PSYCHO 3707 2 1 0 26 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) DRENDAN O'KAI 4030 3 2 0 24 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -AHANTI GRAVETT 3747 2 0 0 21 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) -ALCARESE 3946 1 0 0 20 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -SHYBEL GIBBEN 3979 2 0 0 18 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -ORDENASH 3950 1 0 0 10 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -MR SHORTSWORD 3746 0 1 0 1 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Garth the Seamite -- Thank all the gods you won that! AND, that it gave me one more turn in the Challenger Champs with its political points, a useful rating, that kind of thing. Graduation! I'm heading out shortly to see what Faron is up to, him and Morpeth. He SAID there were adventures around his place, and I could come check 'em out when I retired. I'm looking forward to that. -- Balin Hyper Viper -- Somebody should give you a bunch of, I dunno, valium or something. You really need to calm down. The way you lash around all the time, it wouldn't surprise me if you snapped your OWN neck! -- Culann Coontz Ugly Gentleman? Ugly, yes. Gentleman...doesn't show. You're just another big, overbearing person. Bleh. -- Brenna Boomshakalaka -- Hmm. (bounces on his toes a few times, taps his fingers on his scabbard) Got a catchy rhythm there. You might be able to do something with that. -- Bildis Oh, heck. The Convicted Thief. A convicted thief, anyway, I don't think it was the same one as last time I met a thief. Kinda boring, and only one skill. -- Drendan O'Kai Huh, no conversation yet, but we'll keep hoping. Give us a reason to stretch ourselves, someone. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr 27 July 2007 ************************************* ************************************* ** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE II ** ************************************* ************************************* Years have passed since the last Slaughterhouse, but the season is right for a return to STORMCROWE!
