     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DWES EG this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who 
tonight at The Warty Toad, seeing as FAMOUS GOLFERS' 91-111-4 has earned them 3rd 
place in the ranks.  PHILANTHROPISTS 10 must be either in pain, or numb, having 
dropped from 4th to 22nd this turn, with a 0-2-0 acting as the weight.  And let's 
see, FLYING EAGLE fought ELF TROLL and gained 17 points and contributed to IROQUOIS' 
1-0-0.  PREENING CACKLER has lost to YAZZIE, falling 12 points, while helping make 
THE BARD'S OWN a 0-4-0 turn.  We should ask TYPHOON about the thrill of victory, and 
what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  By the 
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The 
Warty Toad?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in DWES EG, 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
