Notes from the arena champ.
SPY REPORT
Hail DRAGONHEAD! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. It doesn't rain, but it pours for BASH BROS COLLEGE this turn, a 0-1-0
causing a 13 flight drop in the team rankings. Hand that team a dry towel. The
COWBOY CROONERS guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.
You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, CLOGGED CHIMNEY
fought TOP DOG and gained 26 points and contributed to BASH BROS FIREPLACE's 2-1-0.
TOP DOG has lost to CLOGGED CHIMNEY, falling 21 points, while helping make MONGREL
HORDE a 1-2-1 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between TRANSFORMERS and our
Duelmaster CUB, making a challenge. And all eyes were on TRANSFORMERS this turn as
he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. DRAGONHEAD has a new victor! Tell me, is
nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging Aardvark
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. ONE MAN BAND has cause to stand tall, as
they were DRAGONHEAD's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding ONE MAN BAND more than any other team we find NL CENTRAL.
DRAGONHEAD, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports
fans, take notice that HOPALONG CASSIDY from COWBOY CROONERS was DRAGONHEAD's most
challenged warrior this turn. In a brave attempt, CHICKEN S#!^ from MEAT YOUR MAKER
challenged up 18 points to fight HOPALONG CASSIDY from the COWBOY CROONERS stable.
CHICKEN S#!^ perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it was subdued by HOPALONG
CASSIDY and ended up with 86 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A farewell moment, if you please, 8 AM CLASS of BASH BROS COLLEGE has been
sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield. BASH BROS COLLEGE has
some questions to answer. Like 'why did you kill your fighter, 8 AM CLASS, who had a
record of 23-6-0?' MY CARTOONS made what looks to be a tough decision this turn, as
they sent SHIRT TAILS, with a record of 2-16-0, to SHIRT TAILS death. Farewell, his.
This is not good to see. Why pray tell has STUCK DRAWER been sent to the Dark Arena
by BASH BROS DRESSER? And why with a 2-0-0 record?? Whatever bright future BANJO
may have had, it's all history now. The manager of ONE MAN BAND has lost a promising
3-1-0 warrior. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in DRAGONHEAD, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
