Hello again Shadowspire! I am once again honored to be here. I will attempt to become the first Duelmaster to hold the throne for 3 turns in a row. Wish me luck. Ha-Thrust! that went a lot smoother than I had anticipated. Maybe next time? My mementos for the throne room are a Coffee Mug from Indimar's Scrodbucks Shop and one of Nuln's famous Nut Sacks. The codex entry is a shout out to Hombre, Pauly, Nuln and Swinetiger. The view is great up here. Which one of you is next to enjoy it? As always, good luck and much love to my teammates. Until next time, '76 Gran Torino Duelmaster, Shadowspire P.S. Elephest 2007 is coming to Shadowspire. SPY REPORT Hail SHADOWSPIRE! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as AMERICAN MUSCLE is pushed out of top team by 4-LETTER CAVEMEN, who came from 8th with a 4-1-0 this turn. I understand that The Dripping Blade is buying the drinks for AAARRGH 2 HAMMERZ tonight, to honor their rise to 16th after this turns 4-1-2. Hmmm. Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning? THE MONGOLOIDS II has turned a 4-1-0 into 18th place from 31st. Give me the recipe! The LA PENTARCHIE guild has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, DA VINCI fought DECIMUS and gained 26 points and contributed to DARQUE AGES' 2-3-0. DECIMUS has lost to DA VINCI, falling 21 points, while helping make WARMASTERS a 1-4-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and '76 GRAN TORINO remains SHADOWSPIRE's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose for good reasons. My mama told me that one. KELLUMBO'S KIDS has cause to stand tall, as they were SHADOWSPIRE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided KELLUMBO'S KIDS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BIG LAKE OUTCASTS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that HA-THRUST! from D2 MIGHTY DUCKS was SHADOWSPIRE's most challenged warrior this turn. Well now, what do you expect when someone like '69 CHARGER from AMERICAN MUSCLE challenges down 18 points to fight CRIMSON of BATTLE GRUNTS? Well, it only serves justice to see that '69 CHARGER was bested by CRIMSON. Heh, heh. Tsk, tsk, tsk. INDIA, does your manager know you're challenging down 23 points to fight GARTH IRONFIST from CLAN IRONFIST? I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins. INDIA overcame GARTH IRONFIST, is nothing sacred? I don't know about you, but CELEGDRAUG challenging down 18 points to WAR MACHINE's NOROK, is not really worthy of THE DRAUGS. We're not surprised to hear that CELEGDRAUG defeated NOROK, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why THE DRAUGS made such a challenge. We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and shave it close? You gotta do what you gotta do. WARMASTERS has sent LUCIUS to the Dark Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and toast the memory. A farewell moment, if you please, CUERVO of INEBRIATION has been sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield. Congratulations go out to DRAGONBANE GUILD, with ANVIL IRONFIST revenging a bloodfeud against CHAKHARI of KELLUMBO'S KIDS. The Dripping Blade declares a free round for HO! HA-HA! GUARD! and all of D2 MIGHTY DUCKS, for having revenged DRAGONBANE GUILD's BARON STONEWALL for killing one of their comrades. Kudos go out to IMPORT-EXPORT this turn, for revenging LA PENTARCHIE's bloodfeud against AARP's warrior NITRO PILLS. Well done. 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, SHADOWSPIRE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in SHADOWSPIRE, but never good to wear out my welcome. Look for me in future turns.

Is all well? -- Elephant Copernicus -- I knocked you down and stuck you a couple times, but you're one resilient tank and definitely my toughest competition. I need a bigger weapon, or at least one that I'm strong enough to carry. -- PlagueNog Den -- Man, what a fool you looked like calling me a nothing manager the very turn I go 5-0, as well as pull in 2 TC's from the Face to Face. Try to realize that this is a basic only arena, with no tourney play. Managers who want to do well will create warriors who will thrive in a basic arena, with no concern to tournies. You calling me a nothing manager for running scum is shortsighted and ignorant. It is the reason you hover at the 50% mark, instead of the 70% mark. You can enjoy running those off- styles that don't tend to do well in basic, and I'll continue to enjoy smashing those warriors. -- Detective Kellumbo '76 Gran Torino -- Lets see if you get the same results a second time. -- Chakhari Anvil Ironfist -- Seriously, who uses an "if challenged" strategy anyways?? Better luck next time, loser. Better be bringing something better than plate armor and a shield if you think you can take me down. -- Chakhari Pandora -- That's an interesting story that Garn told you. I wonder, did he also mention how I helped him change his bedding every morning so that nobody would know that his bladder could not hold through the night? Or how I held and comforted my big brother when the nightmares were too much for him? Or the time that he climbed down a well only to have to rely on me to fetch a rope and haul him out? Yes, perhaps I am a bit timid at times, but I was always there for my big brother Garn when he needed me, which is a lot more than I can say for a coward who turned his back on his clan. -- Garth Ironfist Ghost of Thak -- Chag molk frag alag monf worb olag krod. Smig molo haku abif delv cham arog? -- Cedric Ironfist Translation for the caveman illiterate -- That challenge was worthy of caveman thinking. Or perhaps you were a sacrifice? -- Cedric Ironfist Djaimz -Simon says: Wrong weapon. Simon says: Let's try again. Simon says: Remember to stand perfectly still. -- Simon Ironfist The Mad Ratter -- That made me MAD!! -- Garth Ironfist False Teeth -- That trick with the protruding teeth just as I am about to strike was VERY distracting. -- Cyrus Ironfist Djohey Djr. -- Thanks, I needed to get my confidence back. -- Rupert Ironfist Well, I owe Niro Pills the shortest ever life for one of my warriors! Thanks, that was interesting! -- Le Pentarque Den -- I must say that all the guy in my team like your cute posts: they have the flavor of the old days...keep on the good work! And smash me! -- Consortium? You, Grolsch, is irritating...I don't believe I didnt manage to attack once in 7 min.... -- Import-Export Thanks, noble Swinetiger, but Mouse of Pain seems to have our number! -- Le Pentarque Crambus -- Sorry I couldn't come out to play! I was having too much fun in Europe to concern myself with if you had enough playfriends! -- DeGotti Is it just my warriors or does this arena have a horrible learning rate? -- DeGotti Cosmic Larva -- Nice try but a Casmic Hammer you are not! -- Hardor Lucius -- I am sorry it has come to this. You know I am a patient man, but even my patience has limits. Your record and lack of effort has left me no choice. I have decided that you shall fight in the Dark Arena this turn. May what ever Gods you pray too watch over you. -- Vanek, Manager of Warmasters Den -- And here I thought I was being respectful by responding to your comments. I guess I won't bother with respecting you anymore. I must admit, I am not concerned with what you think of me. From what I can see, you attempt to demand respect, but have done precious little to earn it. Perhaps you should consider that sometime. -- Nomad Chakari -- Nice fight. Try not to spout off too much about it. -- Anvil Mighty Ducks -- Sometimes I just don't know myown strength. I was aiming legs, for what it is worth. I await your bloodfeud if you choose to defend T-P-D's honor. Condolences. -- Baron Stonewall Nuyen Nick -- What was that you were saying about challenges? -- Hardrada Papa Smurf -- Well, that was just smurfy. If you are going to have that much of an experience edge, you could at least have been fatherly and taught me a fewmore skills! -- Black Arrow 27 July 2007 ************************************* ************************************* ** STORMCROWE SLAUGHTERHOUSE II ** ************************************* ************************************* Years have passed since the last Slaughterhouse, but the season is right for a return to STORMCROWE!
