TEAM SPOTLIGHT
ALE HOUSE MERCS
The wind blew across the grassy fields, causing them to roll lazily like an emerald
ocean. Sunlight twinkled off the blades of grass, adding to the effect. The only
thing spoiling the image, was the long shadow stretching out from the mountain in the
distance. A tall, solitary, jagged peak that dominated the horizon. It was in the
shadow of that mountain, in the middle of the grassy sea, that a small reddish circle
about the size of a coin appeared, about five feet above the ground. It began to grow
fitfully, as if it was pushing through an opposing force. Nothing was visible through
the opening. It seemed to be blocked by an undulating silvery mass. Words began to
seep through, as though being yelled from a great distance.
"Push, girl! This is our only chance! Fight through the resistance!"
"Quickly! I can't holdeth them offeth much longer!"
The circle suddenly burst wider. Just wide enough for a man riding a Giant Demon
Muskrat (GDM) to leap through. The GDM came to a skidding halt, red eyes glowing,
smoke rising from the curved black horns and dark brown matted fur. The GDM fell to
the ground exhausted. The man leapt off and ran back towards the portal. He wore
simple leather armor that was covered in blood and grime and held a broken scimitar
that he discarded as he hurried to look for his other companion.
Suddenly a gauntleted hand reached out from the writhing surface of the portal,
grasping. The man grabbed hold and pulled with all his might, but something else was
pulling the other way. Then, in the blink of an eye, the portal snapped shut. The
man tumbled backwards into the grassy earth. He sat up and raised his hand, which was
still grasping the now severed hand of his companion. He looked at the severed end and
saw that the gauntlet had grown together there, covering the wound. This of course
made perfect sense, as this was a Chaos Gauntlet (tm). Also, it was still moving. The
Chaos Gauntlet (tm) leapt out of his hand and started running around on its
fingertips. The man quickly scooped up the Chaos Gauntlet (tm).
"Nuln, I don't know if you can hear me, but hang in there. I'll rescue you if it's the
last thing I do. I'm just going to need to find some help first." Nuln's dismembered
hand gave a thumbs up and crawled onto the man's shoulder. The man turned back
towards his GDM, who was getting back on her feet.
"You good Laverne?" She huffed and a gout of smoke and flame jetted from her nostrils.
That meant yes.
"Well, looks like we're back at Shadowspire. Again. Time to find out if anyone
remembers Pauly, the kinda okayest manager this city has ever seen."
With that, Pauly climbed back up on Laverne, the Chaos Gauntlet (tm) firmly gripping
his shoulder and made his way toward the city gates and Destiny.
SPY REPORT
It is good to be back in The Spire. I rarely leave the place, but it is good to have
you back. I'm lying, but you are already here, so just sit back and relax! Let me tell
you about the interesting events of today's fights. I have some uninteresting things
as well, but I want to keep those to a minimum.Eh, maybe not, it really depends how
the mood strikes me this afternoon. Let's get started!
We knew entering the turn that we would need a new Duelmaster. Wonder Woman would be
off to the Isle after a final fight, and had to bequeath the big chair to a deserving
warrior. Galpoh Chipaxe thought he was the most deserving, so he made a challenge to
our Duelmistress. Normally, I would say most gladiators are overestimating their
value. Okay, I would say ALL gladiators are overestimating their value. In this
instance, Galpoh's wager on himself paid off with the honor of Duelmaster. He also got
an invite to the Isle, so we will do this again in a few weeks. Congrats to Galpoh
Chipaxe, who is managed by Den.
Why would anyone run away from a hero? I am missing a good answer for that one, but
today's report from the golem states that Childhood Heroes is the most avoided team.
Running away from them the most, you ask? It is the Roman Republic! The most
challenged warrior, or alternatively, the warrior everyone hates, is Tziss. Tziss
ended up in the crosshairs of Inebriation's gladiators. Spoiler alert, it did not end
well for Otto's Big-Tipper! Even though he had a 23-fight advantage entering the
arena, Tziss killed him in a 1-minute bout.
Clan Longbeard had a solid 5-0 teacher this turn. With the good also comes the bad,
Arduin re-enters the arena without a win. Congratulations is also to Anha Misstep! She
leaves for the Isle after next turn's festivities. Enjoy your last few weeks in the
arena because it will certainly change
It is good to have Pauly back in the arena. It has been a while since he has graced us
with his presence. Arduin has come back to us as well. I would greet their manager,
but I don't believe he/she/it has ever introduced themselves. They came back and then
Nomad and Vlad disappeared. Can't everyone show up at once? I don't think it is that
hard, I've seen other arenas do it! Anyway, I need to get up out of here and head to
my favorite watering hole. Well, hole might be an upgrade, but don't tell Otto's Diner
I said that, please! New turn and new Duelmaster in two weeks. You bums know the
drill!
