He watched with great pleasure because he knew that his stables would one day have to fight it out with those in training down below. Queenie, Lavilemar, Gwyon Ironhoof and Aerliaya Vhok--all of Reign of Terror stable joined Sir Chester atop the roof to watch the warriors train below. "I think I see Monica L. and she looks as if she knows what the hell she's doing with that weapon," said Gwyon. Lavilemar was watching Gebo Gungnirson knowing that soon he would have to fight this Harkeny again and probably soon. "Why are you watching Gebo, Lavilemar?" asked Gwyon. "It's really none of your damn business!" quipped Lavilemar. "Aren't we snippy? Gebo must have almost beaten you," responded Gwyon. "I suppose it would diminish your pleasure if I would say yes to your idiotic question, would it not?" Lavilemar yelled. "Please forgive me...I didn't mean to upset you," Gwyon shamefully answered. "Don't worry Gwyon, I'm sure Monica L. will be looking you up in the near future...and didn't you almost lose that fight?" Lavilemar said with a snicker. "OH! the hell with you!" yelled Gwyon a she walked back down the steps. At about the time, Carpetmuncher appeared to get some air and speak with the other warriors that were in Sir Chester's stables or were about to be. Carpetmuncher walked over to where Lavilemar stood and asked," I heard that you are able to challenge any of those warriors...do so!" "Yes, Sir Chester has made sure to tell us of this and I have no problem with that. Have you noticed the newest stable in Erinika, the DUDS? I wonder who the manager is and if he/she is evil or good?" stated Lavilemar. "I have no idea, but we'll know soon enough. I did hear that her name is Amy A. Airhead and she was very displeased due to the fact that there weren't any personal ads," chuckled Carpetmuncher. "I do know that Sir Chester is itching to meet her," Lavilemar grinned. Carpetmuncher thought for a moment and said, "You do realize that the only thing that matters to our manager is that we continuously fight and win against the Odin's Chosen stable. And if Baphomet were to show up, well you know...he could get some too!" Lavilemar laughingly stated, "Isn't that the truth!" Aerilaya Vhok walked up and said with an attitude, "You call yourselves warriors! All you do is talk of your big plans; all talk and little action gets you nowhere!" The warriors all laughed and decided to walk into the city for a few mugs of wine and a bite to eat. Queenie spotted them and jumped up joining them. "I'll buy the first round since I lost my first fight. If I had known I was going to be matched up with such scum...I could have made a few changes and beat the crap out of Bull Market." She was smiling as she stated that fact. "We know getting matched up can be a hell of a thing and no one holds your loss against you. Well, not us anyway...Sir Chester maybe," grinned the nasty lunger- Aerilaya Vhok. Off they went to drink and eat. "Hey!" Queenie added. "Sir Chester plans to find out who's running Odin's Chosen and also plans to beat Fizban and or Heathen at any cost!" "I'll wager a month's pay!" yelled Carpetmuncher. "I will wager my life!!!" Lavilemar declared. "Can anyone remember who said this, 'Til the wheels fall off then we'll carry it'?" asked Queenie. They laughed 'til they could hardly breathe and continued walking. Finally the warriors found the Dripping Dagger Inn. They walked in and found a table in the far corner so that they could see whoever walked through the door. Wine and food had been ordered and the warriors began to eat, drink and enjoy the night in the city. Through the door walked Fizban, Baphomet, Crip, Sultan, Heathen, Phat-Phat along with many others. They were all out on the town having a good time. Baphomet was the first to notice the warriors sitting at the corner table and knew right away that these warriors worked for Sir Chester. Baphomet with wide eyes bolted for the door, running as quickly as he could for he knew that these warriors would violently and repeatedly kick his arse all over the Inn. The warriors who had walked in with Baphomet didn't even notice that he had fled the Inn. They continued to enjoy the night. The night went on without any conflicts. Hours later with the Inn nearly empty, the table in the corner was still filled with Sir Chester's warriors--all of whom would soon be going to the October tourney. Soon Carpetmuncher would be fighting in the arena and was hoping for a good matchup. Hoping to get matched up with Odin's Chosen stable and then beating whomever he was matched up with. Carpetmuncher and his friends finally needed up at their guildhouse and everyone turned in for the night. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 502): BLUE RUIN of BLUE MOON (Jorja, mgr.)

ERINIKA needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, THE BULLS, but WORLDWIDE GORE was just too good to be stopped. The guys at BLACK & BLUE like really pulled together to get a 2-0-0 this turn, moving up by 4. What was the name of that team who got 3-0-0 this turn for a total 56-51-3 you ask? (Sure) ODIN'S CHOSEN's their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for BLUE BLOOD? BLACK & BLUE's proud of him after beating BULL MARKET and getting 21 points. Talk about yer major upsets! BULL MARKET's match with BLUE BLOOD cost him a loss of 12 points! What a putz! BULL FROG fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one said he was a genius... Who was the wiseguy that said ERINIKA's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Dripping Blade? Don't look at me! Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of WORLDWIDE GORE must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why DUDS' been avoiding WORLDWIDE GORE so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is BLACK EYE popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of ERINIKA! He's got a 7-9-1, is that good? Ooh! Did CARPETMUNCHER really know what he was doing when he challenged BLACK EYE? A 8-6-1 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I don't know what it means.) CARPETMUNCHER lost to BLACK EYE, but he got 1 points. BLACK EYE won, and got 6 points. I don't get it. People were asking me did LAVILEMAR REALLY challenge GUNGNIR? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but GUNGNIR wants me to write about it since he overcame LAVILEMAR. 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. What a bummer! QUEENIE got wasted by KARATIA! But with a 9-7-1, I guess REIGN OF TERROR aren't too bummed. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!
