And let's see, RANDY RHODES fought CONVICTED THIEF and gained 19 points and contributed to DEAD MUSICIANS' 5-0-2. DEIRDRE has lost to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, falling 7 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a 3-2-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and TOURNEY SCUM remains MURSKA's top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Fire Dragon Inn? He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. 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 avoiding CHILDREN OF LLYR more than any other team we find DEAD MUSICIANS. MURSKA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was CHILDREN OF LLYR's warrior BRENNA. More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. URBAN JUNGLE made what looks to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent IN VAIN, with a record of 5-10-0, to IN VAIN death. Farewell, hers. 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. Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Always good to rest in MURSKA, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in MURSKA again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TOURNEY SCUM 3943 30 7 0 113 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BILDIS 3978 14 20 1 104 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) MURSKAN PATRIOT 3412 13 6 0 100 URBAN JUNGLE (259) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JANICE JOPLIN 3891 5 0 1 70 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DRENDAN O'KAI 4030 10 3 0 63 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) BRENNA 3995 16 9 0 62 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANGUS ARGUS 4032 6 0 0 55 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) LUCY JORDAN 2669 7 17 0 46 URBAN JUNGLE (259) DEIRDRE 4031 7 1 0 46 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MANDOLIN WIND 3489 5 1 2 38 URBAN JUNGLE (259) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUDDY HOLLY 3890 4 1 1 28 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE BIG BOPPER 3911 2 0 2 19 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) RANDY RHODES 3888 1 0 0 19 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) JOHN LENNON 3956 1 0 1 16 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I slack off on the wind sprints, eat a little too much, and wwwwhhhhamoooooooo. I fell asleep during the fight. What can I say? Ouch. I shouldn't have fallen onto my sword asleep. -- Bildis Oh, joy, after Bildis's loss, we go four and oh...against standbys. This is gonna make Jorja SOOO happy, I don't even want to think about it. -- Angus Argus P.S. Yep, what I thought. Five fights, meaning there was us, there was Tourney Scum, and there was NO ONE else active here. Thank the gods for the standbys, anyway.
