TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Tripwire snapped his fingers. A shimmering portal, humming with arcane energy,
materialized in his opulent study. He barked orders to Oran, his deceptively mild-
mannered werebear butler, "There are giants where I am sending you. I happened upon
them on my travels. Fetch me five of them. I don't care how, Stormcrowe needs new
blood, and they'll be perfect." Oran, inwardly sighing at the absurdity of it all,
stepped through the portal, his prim exterior belying the feral power simmering
beneath.
He found them as expected: lumbering, dim-witted giants, utterly bewildered by their
sudden capture and relocation. Wekrus and Gekrus, apparently identical twins (Oran
constantly mixed them up, despite one sporting a surprisingly delicate braid), were
particularly apprehensive. He armed them with oversized weapons and armor, herding
them toward a warehouse with a stern, "Train. Now. Your new master and I am sure
Stormcrowe's audience doesn't appreciate incompetence." Their terror was palpable, a
stark contrast to the fear they would supposedly inspire.
The ensuing training sessions were a spectacle of clumsy fumbling and near-disasters.
Oran slapped his hand across his face in exasperation. This was going to be bad.
Tripwire will not be pleased. The giants, terrified of Oran's potential to transform
into a monstrous werebear, obeyed his every instruction with terrified diligence,
however, and their strength was impressive to behold.
A month later, five hulking behemoths were ready for their debut in Stormcrowe's
arena. Their strength had been extremely impressive. Whether they would survive their
first fight remained to be seen, but Oran was already rubbing his hands together,
eager for the spectacle.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Some old guy in a tree told me to beat it, or he'd call the brute squad. I told him I
was on the brute squad, but he told me I was the brute squad, so here I am.

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in STORMCROWE! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, DARQUE FORCES had
to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by ANTISOCIALS! Way to go
ANTISOCIALS! The guys at ANTISOCIALS like really pulled together to get a 3-0-1 this
turn, moving up by 3. I just can't say enough good things about OF WOLF & GIANT.
They went 5-0-1 their first time, don't slouch, and they've got good oral hygiene!
MVP award for WEKRUS? OF WOLF & GIANT's proud of her after beating TRUSTWORTHY
SCRIBE and getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers! HORRACH got smashed
by GATE KEEPER, and lost 11 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most
popular guy in all STORMCROWE. He got the most challenges. (But what about
proposals?) Was that a tear I saw in THE VEAL DEAL's eye, as he took over
Duelmastership? And wasn't THE BRUTE SQUAD fit to be tied! Who was the wiseguy that
said STORMCROWE's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Shadow's Fountain? Don't
look at me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. DEAD SILENCE
was the most avoided team. Is a 35-48-1 record really that scary? I don't know what
AVID FANS' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from DEAD
SILENCE, that's fer sher. People were asking me did PEANUT SALESMAN REALLY challenge
BRAWLIPOP? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a
spectacular fight, or anything, but BRAWLIPOP wants me to write about it since she
was bested by PEANUT SALESMAN. Satisfied?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte
