I didn't mean to be savage, Rook, though I *did* go out to win. But I was maybe a little nervous? Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Good fight, though. Olovor Paris SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, TELORINTHE? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, NONSUCH HOUSE, since BAD SIGNS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see KELLUMBO'S INITS. win a fight and gain 7 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, KELLUMBO'S INITS. beat PETRO SALM and PETRO SALM lost 6 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as LUMP takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.

Hmm, three-two isn't so bad, considering that five-oh turns for us are often followed by oh-five. Or four-one by one-four, depending on which version of Petro's reading we go with. Anyway, three-two, not so bad. Ah, if I'm reading it correctly myself. -- Olovor Paris Kellumbo's Inits. -- Signs don't get much worse than that. -- Petro Salm Lake Effect Snow -- You come along and you're JINXING us.
