It's your favorite potion-peddling peanut gallery with another peek at the punch-ups and pratfalls from the ever-entertaining Seam Arena. This turn's tales are steeped in surprises, with familiar faces missing and a fresh crown up for grabs! Clutch your cloaks, kittens, as we start with the title fight! EXYL ROTT of Darque Knights retained the Duelmaster's title, going 15-15-0 with a performance that finally tipped into triumph. Triumph might be too strong a word. Balance? Yes, let's go with balance. A balanced record, but with grit and grind to spare! Exyl outmaneuvered all contenders and now gets to polish that throne again... for one last cycle, at least. With a graduation on the scrolls, Seam will look for a new champion next turn! Who is going to step up and fill the void? Our spark plug of attention this cycle? The beloved Hilda Hippo of Huckle's Cats. She's got fans, flair, and a big ol' target painted on her back. Whether for her charming moniker or sordid record (22-25-0), challengers lined up like goblins at a free cauldron giveaway. Oh mercy, talk about being shunned like a foot pie at a halfling picnic! Darque Knights was the team most avoided, with other managers treating them like a hex in the making. It can't be their winning ways; they are barely topping .500 with a 50.8% W/L. It could be hygiene. Eh, who knows? Rubber vs Glue bears the biggest blame for all the sidestepping. They avoided the Darque Knights more than any other, which probably wasn't much with only four teams active today. Let's all wave our wands in honor of a graduating warrior, Exyl Rott. Congratulations, brave soul -- may your blade stay sharp and your retirement peaceful. Oh, wait, she's a Basher. May your hammer remain blunt! We can probably keep the retirement part! Oh my sweet moonberries, the sands felt sparse this turn. Notably missing were the ever-engaging squads of Pandemic Boredom and No Tournament Blues. Their absence was as loud as a banshee's lullaby, leaving the arena eerily quiet. Come back soon, my darlings! The sands miss your drama. And that's the latest from your sultry seer of Seam. Until next time, my little dagger-dodgers -- keep your spells prepped, your armor strapped, and for the love of all things arcane, show up! The arena's far too empty without your beautiful mayhem. -- Sidara Brightbell DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EXYL ROTT 1515 15 15 0 112 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BUT WHAT AM I 1383 33 8 0 108 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) I KNOW YOU ARE 1381 31 10 0 103 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) BOOGERHEAD 1468 17 11 3 92 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) HILDA HIPPO 1446 22 25 0 91 HUCKLE'S CATS (23) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LIKE SUNDAY 1503 19 8 1 90 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) -SHAKEY JAKE HARRIS 1501 14 19 1 82 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) -VALERIE WELLINGTON 1536 10 9 0 77 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) -SAFFIRE 1530 9 11 0 71 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) HODJA 1517 17 12 0 70 THIRSTY THUGS (31) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ROGER, RODGER 1538 11 8 0 61 THIRSTY THUGS (31) -SONNY BOY 1 1543 7 9 1 60 NO TOURNAMENT BLUES (89) -SWIPE LEFT 1520 14 9 0 58 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) RAT FINK 1549 6 3 0 58 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KYE SMALLFOOT 1523 14 12 1 55 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) -OH MORRISSEY 1504 10 17 0 47 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) SAU SAGE 1529 7 15 0 36 THIRSTY THUGS (31) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DUO LINGO 1541 7 8 0 36 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PSYDE 1553 4 6 1 33 THIRSTY THUGS (31) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KIXA OAKHEART 1560 2 0 0 21 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) TOZ FIRESHIELD 1559 2 0 0 15 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) FREYA BEARMAW 1562 1 0 0 15 DARQUE KNIGHTS (22) -SWEET TARIFFS 1558 0 1 0 1 PANDEMIC BOREDOM (78) THPBBT 1561 0 1 0 1 RUBBER VS GLUE (90) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

You already know about the skin cancer being removed by my dermatologist. Beyond that, I finally got myself a primary physician. She recommended that I get my Shingles and Pneumonia vaccines, which I have done. She also recommended a colonoscopy but I opted instead for Cologuard test (not to be confused with the Cologuard Classic golf tournament) which is kinda gross but much easier -- I mailed it off today and I like to imagine a little bit of Pappy is traveling right now. The next thing to do is blood work but that's got me worried since I'm pretty freaked out by needles. I'm sure it will happen but I don't like to think about it. Kinda like Oh Morrissey fighting his way out of the Adepts -- it's not going to be pretty. Anyway, good health to all of you and go see your doctor! -- Pappy LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BOOGERHEAD devastated PSYDE in a 1 minute mismatched Bloodfeud fight. EXYL ROTT vanquished HILDA HIPPO in a exciting 1 minute gory uneven Title battle. BUT WHAT AM I viciously subdued NOBLE ASSASSIN in a slow 10 minute mismatched brawl. I KNOW YOU ARE savagely defeated NOBLE ASSASSIN in a 12 minute mismatched competition. HODJA devastated KYE SMALLFOOT in a 1 minute mismatched match.
