It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly KATI-TEI games. Former top team LAZY SUNDAY was unseated this week as WANDERERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week ADVENTURE TIME 3 went 2-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. My praise to WANDERERS for their 5-0-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! WINGS IN SUNLIGHT caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested THE HAMILTONS and was awarded 24 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, WINGS IN SUNLIGHT put down THE HAMILTONS, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on LATE AFTERNOON as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning Duelmaster YELLOW BRICK TOAD. The city has turned out in honor of LATE AFTERNOON, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? Many and various are the arts of battle. In KATI-TEI "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! KATI-TEI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is MEDAL OF HONOR H3, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of HELPLESS ANIMALS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after LATE AFTERNOON. Watch your back! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LATE AFTERNOON 4695 18 8 0 106 LAZY SUNDAY (411) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CHARLES DEGLOPPER 4377 13 10 1 115 MEDAL OF HONOR H3 (397) WINGS IN SUNLIGHT 4651 20 20 0 101 WANDERERS (329) -SERGEANT 7 4429 16 13 0 99 MEDAL OF HONOR H3 (397) YELLOW BRICK TOAD 4018 12 5 0 93 HELPLESS ANIMALS (362) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PEPPERMINT BUTLER 4270 9 4 0 86 ADVENTURE TIME 3 (390) PARNS 4707 13 8 2 82 LAZY SUNDAY (411) THE HAMILTONS 4653 20 8 0 72 LAZY SUNDAY (411) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HARVESTER 4694 9 19 0 53 WANDERERS (329) WALKING THE DOG 4737 8 2 0 53 WANDERERS (329) -LAMBCHOP OF GOD 4159 3 3 0 47 HELPLESS ANIMALS (362) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CRAZY DELICIOUS 4715 1 3 0 25 LAZY SUNDAY (411) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE DUTCHMAN 4751 5 1 0 23 WANDERERS (329) JAMES BAXTER 4772 2 1 0 19 ADVENTURE TIME 3 (390) -SERGEANT 9 4770 1 0 0 19 MEDAL OF HONOR H3 (397) HOFFA 4767 1 0 0 14 CALL ME JIMMY (425) VENOM 2 4753 2 1 0 13 TOWER OF SNAKES (423) KRAIT 4782 1 1 0 9 TOWER OF SNAKES (423) N.E.P.T.R. 4775 2 1 0 8 ADVENTURE TIME 3 (390) STEEL KUDZU 4771 1 2 0 8 WANDERERS (329) VENOM 3 4754 2 1 0 7 TOWER OF SNAKES (423) HOFFA 4769 1 0 0 7 CALL ME JIMMY (425) HOFFA 4765 1 0 0 7 CALL ME JIMMY (425) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VENOM DECAY 4758 1 2 0 5 TOWER OF SNAKES (423) -SERGENAT 10 4764 0 2 0 2 MEDAL OF HONOR H3 (397) HOFFA 4768 0 1 0 1 CALL ME JIMMY (425) HOFFA 4766 0 1 0 1 CALL ME JIMMY (425) MATTHEW PERRY 4784 0 1 0 1 LAZY SUNDAY (411) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

We thought it was something to do with a flower and honey, until we got a closer look. It's a golem! Something to do with, um, artificialy insemination of flowers? That has a nasty sound to it, and you KNOW It's Not Nice to Fool Mother Nature.
