Left over from last time-- Well, the Dark Frog isn't pale, but he isn't looking well. Unless "well" is different for dark frogs than for others. Jock MacBeagh SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see FINN MAC KARMEK win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FINN MAC KARMEK beat THE DARK FROG and THE DARK FROG lost 18 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, MURSKA may be getting bland, as FURIOUS FROGPALER stays top dog in the city. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From MURSKA's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? BATTLE FROGS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SOUND. Ha ha ha ha! Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see LORD'S PRAYER and FOOT OF PRIDE at The Victory Tavern tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over RAUCOUS. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FURIOUS FROGPALER 4309 12 6 0 119 BATTLE FROGS (388) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FINN MAC KARMEK 4388 11 7 0 104 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOCK MACBEAGH 4344 16 21 1 90 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) TIMBRE 4409 10 5 0 84 SOUND (15) DEIRDRIE 4391 12 6 0 83 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) THE DARK FROG 4347 12 5 0 80 BATTLE FROGS (388) SAVAGE BEATING 4339 16 9 0 77 HAPPY FUN TIME (361) -HIGHWAY 420 3885 15 9 1 69 HAPPY FUN TIME (361) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BURGLAR FROG 4357 8 2 0 59 BATTLE FROGS (388) MEL 4408 9 6 0 58 SOUND (15) TORTURE 4368 6 3 0 57 LEGIONS OF HELL (393) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DAYDREAM FROG 4348 10 5 0 55 BATTLE FROGS (388) HUM 4407 9 6 1 53 SOUND (15) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PIMA 4464 8 4 1 31 TRIBES (400) MACE FACE FROG 4349 7 5 0 30 BATTLE FROGS (388) -DANNY BOY 4424 5 1 0 30 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) NO TURN 4425 4 5 0 30 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) LORD'S PRAYER 4456 3 1 0 27 FOOT OF PRIDE (396) SEAN AP KORMAK 4404 5 10 1 26 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TUMULT 4460 2 0 0 22 SOUND (15) OISIN 4439 5 4 0 21 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) RAUCOUS 4455 1 4 1 8 SOUND (15) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Chardinee, that he should SAVAGELY defeat me? -- Finn mac Karmek Yes, and the Khalhums Dwarf "bested" me, too! What is happening, that standbys are winning? -- Deirdrie Deirdrie -- They're just getting on the bandwagon. Except for Jock, we ALL lost. And no, it isn't fair, but it's life. -- Sean ap Kormak and Oisin Savage Beating -- I'm probably as surprised as you about this fight. The crowd was happy with the outcome and so was I. Maybe we can try it again sometime. -- Timbre Pima -- Where did you come from with your Maul? I officially hate Mauls! They hurt! Your eleventh fight to my 4th... you should have won. Please teach me a little more next time. -- Raucous I'm very pleased with my Team this turn with their 4-1 record. I'm hoping for more like this, maybe next turn? -- Trim, Mgr. of Sound (15) Trim -- It's the perversity of the universe at work. Or simply an example (for Jock, at least) of Small Arena Syndrome. As to losing to standbys, I think some of my gladiators here are sulking. They think I don't pay "enough" attention to them. That is a matter of definition, and they can be glad for the attention they get. What if I decided to send them to the Dark Arena, eh? -- Jorja Our congratulations to Smile Waffle. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr Furious Frogpaler -- Got me that time! All my frogs have been paled. A shocking thing to see. -- Jock MacBeagh P.S. Even more shocking was the input error. I was not comfortable with that strategy, and Jorja was actually moved to contact the Commission and get it (I hope) changed. Most shocking of all that she NOTICED your input error. The Dark Frog -- Ominous, distinctly ominous. -- Deirdrie P.S. And I can't even claim an input error. Anybody ever wonder about those Kung-Fu Masters going around with no steel at all? -- Finn mac Karmek Danny Boy -- AAAAAH! Kicked by the Foot of Pride! -- Sean ap Kormak Lord's Prayer -- I once knew a guy named Lord, but he wasn't much for praying. -- Oisin LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS FURIOUS FROGPALER devastated JOCK MACBEAGH in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. THE DARK FROG was vanquished by FINN MAC KARMEK in a 1 minute uneven battle. TIMBRE subdued KUNG-FU MASTER in a 2 minute fight. SAVAGE BEATING was viciously subdued by DEIRDRIE in a crowd pleasing 5 minute brawl. HUM overpowered FRATSFA SLAVE in a 1 minute mismatched match. PIMA was devastated by DAYDREAM FROG in a 1 minute one-sided duel. BURGLAR FROG devastated NO TURN in a 1 minute mismatched match. TORTURE handily defeated SEAN AP KORMAK in a 1 minute uneven fight. MEL won victory over AMBITIOUS GUARD in a action packed 2 minute duel. OISIN lost to MACE FACE FROG in a 3 minute fight. RAUCOUS was vanquished by LORD'S PRAYER in a 1 minute gory one-sided duel. TUMULT overpowered CONVICTED THIEF in a 1 minute one-sided melee.
