                           The Warm Age -- Fishbone Grills

We had never locked our doors at night; we'd had no reason to fear each other.

Even though we had killed the polewards and posted our own Center guard, even so we 
had begun to feel fear; to speak of this, however, was forbidden. So that evening we 
had left the dancehall laughing; had waved goodnight to our neighbors; had smiled, 
gently tucking our children into bed.

A foul odor woke me!  What was in the silent darkness?!  I peered through slitted 
eyelids:  a poleward at my bedroom door!  We had missed one!  No time to wonder in 
which forest hill cave on which island the golem had hidden!  No time to wonder at the 
silence of my village, of my house, of my children's room...

Deft fingers unsheathing my favorite boning knife at my side, I calmed my breathing; 
focused on its arms rising silently but slowly, anticipating... the Moment! a flashing 
slash up through the sheets and across its exposed throat!  It gushed and gurgled its 
wordless disbelief, and fell... leaving me alone.

We are all dead!  I dig so many graves... and build a giant cooking fire too; the 
golem is all gristle...

                                      SPY REPORT

     YAY!  It is arena day and as you know, I could NOT be more excited than I am at 
this moment!  We had fights! We had food!  We had more fights!  Then we had more food!  
Then more food!  Then a few drinks!  Then more fights!  Being a spy reporter is the 
most EPIC job EVER!  I don't get how some of these guys and gals are so grumpy all the 
time?  I mean, I love them dearly, but Olaf is a grump sometimes! Oh well, let's get 
to the arena action, that is why you are here isn't it?

     We have a new Duelmaster this turn!  I know that Maniac Mauler probably does not 
want to hear that, but a two-time Champion has reason to keep his chin high!  Hillary 
Clinton fought Maniac Mauler this turn for the throne and was able to overcome our 
former Duelmaster in a 1-minute fight.  It is going to be a short reign for Hillary 
though because she has been invited to the Isle of the Eye! Congratulations to Hillary 
for the new titles of Duelmaster and Lord Protector!  Be sure and come back next cycle 
because we will crown a new champion.

     On another note, we may have a few graduates next turn.  There are a total of 3 
warriors that could graduate next turn depending on where they land in the rankings.  
There could be as many as 5 next turn, but my golem did not go far back enough for me 
to have accurate counts for the two (2) Nonsuch House warriors in the Challenger 
Champions.  I'm looking forward to next turn because it has the potential to be . . . 
. WAIT FOR IT . . . EPIC (and exciting!) !!!!!

     Ironskull Orcs plummet down to 7th place after a 2-3 turn.  Kame House rises to 
take the top team with a 10-4-1 three turn record, just edging out Nemesis's Ferocious 
Five guild.  Conjure the Sun and Empire Strikes out are tied with 9-6-1 records while 
Bad Signs shares a similar record sans the single kill.  The most avoided team is 
Conure the Sun.  They were mostly avoided by Ironskull Orcs.  Nothingburger is our 
most challenged warrior today.  14 Day Quarantine got the call and was able to defeat 
Nothingburger in 3-minutes.

     Speaking of killing, we may need to have an intervention with Master Darque and 
his Sorcerer Kings.  First, he sends 9-4-1 Bibidee to the Dark Arena!  Who does that?  
Bibidee must have taken that slight personally and killed High Elf to come back from 
his imminent doom!  I bet it is awkward in the guild house this evening!  They also 
sent 2 other Rookie warriors to the Dark Arena, but those appear to have gone 
according to plan.  On the regular sands, we no longer have to wonder which Kestrel is 
being addressed.  Sorcerer Kings' warrior Oba killed Kestrel from The Dragons.  
Needless to say, it was a turn soaked in blood for the Sorcerer Kings guild.

     Bah, I'm getting the wrap-it-up signal from Arenamaster, or he has invented a new 
dance.  Whatever the case, I think this is a good place to stop for today.  Come back 
next time and let's get a gander at how many graduates we have!  The potential is 
there for quite a few, but the Fates are fickle mistresses.  We will have to wait and 
see how it all develops!  See you then!
