The boys at WETWORKS left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by BAD SIGNS. Good show! BAD SIGNS had cause to celebrate, after 3 WILL got 13 points by beating ELDON BLACK. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, RUIN was winsome, after beating DAMIAN VESS and seeing him lose 9 points. In TELORINTHE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, NOCTURNAL RITES. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in WETWORKS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. The warriors of WETWORKS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BAD SIGNS apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, JESTER is the most challenged warrior. Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! HIGH ELF in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for HAMMER KRINKER of CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Swinging Aardvark will be! Sober up, young warriors, and take note of DONALD TRUMP's fate! NIKE of WETWORKS handily did him in. Experience counts for something on TELORINTHE's sands. Justice was served as NIKE fought DONALD TRUMP in bloodfeud. Well done, WETWORKS! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in TELORINTHE would I avoid! All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. TELORINTHE, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Swinging Aardvark.

He was a 17-12-11-17-15-5-7 Basher, never trained stats. Ended up with Master Init (+4), Expert Decise, and AdEx Attack, and a 20-13-4 record thanks to Spymaster in the Dark Arena. Faves were War Flail, Moderate/Low Rhythm, Bash Tactic, and learns Initiative routine. All I can say is his replacement looks much more interesting. -- Dark Oracle, mgr of Bad Signs.

They say it's bad manners to toot your own horn, but if I don't do it, who will? I am undertaking a fiction-writing project on the Patreon website, under my own name of Judith Solberg. It isn't the kind of story I might put in the newsletter, but I think some of you might enjoy it. I don't know how much you can see if you just cruise by, but they tell me it's up and open. -- Jorja
