TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"What the bloody blazes are you trying to do?" bellowed Godric Magnesson. "The
five of you are going to bankrupt me!"
Everyone in the main hall fell silent. The manager of the Brotherhood leveled a
stare that he in turn focused on each and every member of the team.
"Practice!" the stout dwarf commanded. "I don't want to hear of you going out
every night drinking and carousing. You will go to bed early, you will wake early,
you will practice, and you absolutely will start winning."
"Did you see what I had to go up against?" interrupted Darkmoor, the tall
Lubanese. "He might as well have been a castle wall."
"Then you break it down!" shouted Godric. "When I liberated you from the
Lubanese coast, you said that you would give me your best. Is what I saw last week
your best?"
Darkmoor looked away, embarassed.
"And you," Godric said, directing his attention now toward Ellestraya. "I'm not
mad at you. I feel like the outcome of your fight was mostly my fault. I should
never have sent you out into the arena with a weapon that you weren't a hundred
percent with yet. So don't worry. We will make a great warrior out of you before we
send you back to Fratsfa."
Ellestraya signed. The blond Fratsfan still had wanted to do better.
"But I expect more from the rest of you," he continued. "There will be no more
late nights or days off until you start bringing in some wins."

Notes from the arena champ.
This Noble Assassin is a Bad Person. I can tell. Dogs know these things.

Bully Boy
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARADI this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
THE DISCIPLES is pushed out of top team by TWILIGHT BRIGADE, who came from 3rd with a
2-3-0 this turn. And let's see, SAI JIN fought READY EDDIE and gained 12 points and
contributed to THE BROTHERHOOD's 3-2-0. DAWNBLADE has lost to KISMET, falling 9
points, while helping make TWILIGHT BRIGADE a 2-3-0 turn. PERFECT SNOTLING TV
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone RED DOG GANG's
warrior. And all eyes were on PERFECT SNOTLING this turn as it ascended to the
throne of Duelmaster. ARADI has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster
that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Blind Cyclops Inn?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the RED DOG
GANG stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ARADI, what are you afraid
of? And guess who avoided RED DOG GANG stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
SUPERIOR FORCES 1601. Anyone surprised?
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Is it really true that ARADI has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, ARADI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Trauma Hound -- The way you beat me hurt my feelings Deep Down. -- Darkmoor
Shadowfire -- That was an excellent fight... right up until you started hitting my
head. -- Sai Jin
Dawnblade -- So, when I retire from the arena, I think I'll become a teacher. I
think I'm pretty good at it. -- Kismet
Stronghold -- Whatever you're feeding that team of yours, can I have some of it to
feed my team of losers? Right now I have them taking laps until my practice track
becomes a moat. -- Godric Magnesson
Cinder -- A determined dog will even dig there. -- Garm
Why did the Ruthless Jaywalker come rushing across the street and kick me? I was't
doing anything. -- Hush Puppy
Maximillian Ki -- I have an idea you shouldn't be taking off that fast? I mean, I'm
a basher, and I'm going all out, and you aren't and shouldn't be, yet we struggled
for the first blow. And maybe a heavier weapon, so that if you manage to hit me, you
do some damage? Not sure, just guessing, but this strikes me. -- Ready Eddie
A Beggar? Not on MY porch! -- Chiquita Chiwawa
Congratulations to Perfect Snotling, and, you will pardon the sentiment, I hope, good
