B B B B B B B  BE CHEERFUL

A cheerful heart brings a smile to your face; a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day. --- Proverbs 15:13 The Message

The message from Hammer to his Aaaarrgh Hammerz (3) stable was a simple one: Be Cheerful.

His stable had once again posted the Best Won-Loss Record as the Current Top Team among the Five Active Stables for the past 3 cycles!

Lady Mandalorian took a little time to celebrate with the five gladiators, but there was still much to be done with their individual training routines, if they each intended to Graduate from Telo Arena!

She continued to drill into their collective hearts and heads all that her Veteran Manager had shared with her over the years:

May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper! --- Hammer, Minister of War

                                      SPY REPORT

Hello, my wonderful Telorinthe family! It's me, Ori Starbloom, here to bring all the 
highlights, smiles, and sparkles from this turn's battles. There were a few struggles 
on the sands, too, but let's see if we can turn those frowns into smiles!

A big congratulations to Namrepus of Cixelsid Heroes! With steady patience and a 
clever defense, Namrepus outlasted 0-2 Count in a marathon 28-minute duel. He claims 
the title of Duelmaster with this win. What endurance! Telorinthe has a new champion 
sitting proudly on the throne. 

The crowd was on the edge of their seats as 14 Day Quarantine showed determination in 
turning back Ecaps Ghost. In another marathon match, Namtab outlasted the relentless 
ringing in his ear from 6 AM Alarm. The match lasted 19 minutes! I hope their managers 
fed them well at the end of the day. Ride or Die also stands tall after beating 
Abalach-Re in a hard-fought contest.

Aaaarrgh Hammerz were this turn's biggest movers, with Telo Zebra Hammer crushing 
Buffarilla. Several of his teammates were also able to chalk up decisive wins. They 
finished as the Top Team again with a 10-5-2 over the past three turns.  Riff-Raff 
Crew was the most avoided team, with Sorcerer Kings running from them the most. Maybe 
they were being strategic?

Two standouts from the Bad Signs guild will bid us farewell next turn. Leaving us for 
the Isle will be 0-2 Count and 14 Day Quarantine. We will miss their presence here in 
Telorinthe, but hope they go on to accomplish great things!

That is a wrap, my friends! Telorinthe was filled with excitement this turn, but that 
is true every cycle. It could always use EVEN MORE. If you know a few managers looking 
for a home, send them an invite for Telorinthe. The more warriors we have, the 
brighter our arena shines! I will see you all next time! Keep smiling and moving 
forward to victory!
