     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DRAGONHEAD this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as BB GOVERNMENT is pushed out of top team by BASH BROS SUPERBOWL, who 
came from 2nd with a 3-0-0 this turn.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast 
this morning?  BASH BROS TEA has turned a 2-0-0 into 7th place from 40th.  Give me 
the recipe!  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks for BASH 
BROS LIGHTS tonight, to honor their rise to 14th after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  I 
want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing 
as ON TAP 5's 2-2-1 has earned them 16th place in the ranks.  BB SCOTT BORAS must be 
either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 12th to 28th this turn, with a 0-1-0 
acting as the weight.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  
BASH BROS FISHERMAN has turned a 1-0-0 into 29th place from 43rd.  Give me the 
recipe!  And let's see, RED RAGE fought NOT ASSUR and gained 23 points and 
contributed to ON TAP 6's 1-0-0.  CROOKED has lost to CONVICTED ASSASSIN, falling 24 
points, while helping make BASH BROS TEETH a 0-1-0 turn.  And all eyes were on 
SARDONIS 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.  FREELANCERS has cause to stand tall, as they 
were DRAGONHEAD's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And guess who avoided FREELANCERS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was BASH 
BROS LIGHTS.  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.  BASH BROS SHIP has lost MRS 
AMBIDEXTROUS to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried.  What do you 
expect from 4-5-0?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, DRAGONHEAD, 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 you see my quill in 
DRAGONHEAD again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

The incursion of chaos creatures into northern Alastari has been stopped.  However, 
the gate they came through is open, and there are people from Alastari trapped on the 
other side.  They need to be rescued, and the gate needs to be closed.  If you have a 
Lord Protector whom you would like to send on this mission, please send a message to 
the Gladiatorial Commmission (email csr@reality.com or via diplo).  We will need to 
know their physical description, personality, and method of fighting.  We will select 
no more than a dozen volunteers.  Thank you!
