I doubt MURSKA will ever be the same. And let's see, MAD MAXINE fought PADRIAG and gained 20 points and contributed to WEIRD STUDENTS' 2-3-0. PADRIAG has lost to MAD MAXINE, falling 19 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a 2-3-1 turn. And all eyes were on PALUG this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. MURSKA has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dragon's Hangover uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in MURSKA and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PALUG 4509 16 15 1 106 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOFTIS 4571 8 7 0 101 HOUSE JHEREG (42) KATHANA 3553 13 8 2 93 HOUSE JHEREG (42) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OISIN 4439 19 33 0 90 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALER 4572 13 5 0 82 HOUSE JHEREG (42) ANGRY ANTHONY 4609 6 2 0 70 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAD MAXINE 2152 9 7 0 66 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SELENE 4029 4 2 0 56 ERRATA (371) JENICOR 4593 8 2 0 54 HOUSE JHEREG (42) VILMOS 4579 11 3 0 52 HOUSE JHEREG (42) PADRIAG 4556 9 14 1 47 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) LITTLE TOMMY 4566 9 11 0 38 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUBBY BARB 4621 5 1 0 33 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) PRICKLY PETE 4607 5 3 0 25 WEIRD STUDENTS (214) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MARA KIERA 4600 3 6 1 20 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -ALARM 4215 0 1 0 7 ERRATA (371) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

SWEET SAMANTHA 4608 2 6 0 WEIRD STUDENTS 214 MARA KIERA 4600 744 PERSONAL ADS Kathana -- When are you going to get out of here, so I have more Jhereg to fight. -- Sweet Samantha Good Luck in the upcoming tournament all. -- Weird Students Folks, I haven't done in personals for today. My excuse is that we had a crashing thunderstorm last night when I normally would have been doing them. This is true. Lightning hit nearby and I turned off my computer. But it's an excuse because after the storm was over, I didn't turn the computer back on, just enjoyed not doing personals. Sorta sorry, and I'll try to do better, but it sure felt good. -- Jorja LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS KATHANA was bested by PALUG in a action packed 2 minute brutal master's Title fight.

JASPER GULCH: DM 85 Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like this, and it probably wouldn't be the last. "So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?" "Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary. There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're too full of team records." "Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested. Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave. "We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested. "We can't burn RECORDS." "I could," Rinvar said. "But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its own sake, Jame." Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew." "When are they shutting down Blackstone?" "To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of enquiry around the room. "Jasper Gulch," a steward said. "Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably 'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT." Voth nodded. "We can work with this." "Beats not working."
