Copied from ROK in honor of JBad.............

Dustin McKreely paced the training room freely. "Oh my gosh guys! What the hell
happened out there?!" He stopped in front of the half orc Bart Blackskull. "I should
call you Lack Numbskull. One frickin round? One round. Ridiculous. "

A huge red haired barbarian couldn't help but chortle. "What are you laughing at
Hamar? You didnt do much better. You should be embarrassed to call yourself a
barbarian."

The darkskinned tiger-eyed female glared at him from her cage. "And you, Sheeba the
'fierce'. Two rounds is slightly better but not fierce. Lunge, I said. Lunge!"

"And our big winner, Gorilla Mike, lasted a whole 3 rounds before getting savagely
destroyed by some nitwit actually named Fast and Frail? How did that happen? Didn't
anyone not lose today?"

Hamar raised his hand sheepishly. "Tara didn't."

Dustin threw up his hands! "She didn't even fight. Where is she?"

A timid young female in the back raised her hands. "It was a bloodbath out there. No
sense even participating. Blech! But I didn't lose. Yay me. Does that mean I get
champion's rewards, boss?"

Bart leaned over to Gorilla and whispered, "That's why they call her Tara the Wise."

Gorilla with his 6 wit nodded sagely. "YUP!"

Dustin shook his head with disbelief, mouth open in shock. "Noooo. No you don't. Nein.
Nein. Gorilla Mike went three rounds so he gets steak with all the fixuns. Cold gruel
for everyone else. Back to your cages. Surrender your weapons until next time."

Tara pouted her pretty lips and walked to the weapons rack swinging her shortsword
angrily. "Well, I didn't lose."

SPY REPORT

If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
NOBLISH ISLAND brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0
is nice, but don't get cocky, MC GLADIATOR PIT, the Fates teach humility, and the
Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SHEEBA THE FIERCE
win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. And it's out with the old, in with the
new, as COLD 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!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? DON'T AVOID US was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like PLANETARY FORCES avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
BURNED was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. And we have COUNTER CLAIM in a challenge, going down
14 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought COUNTER CLAIM showed great skill and
promise when he was subdued by SLEEP. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. 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. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS

Note from Dr. Knowitall.... With no new NLs to reference, the Planetary Forces will
possibly be entering random challenges. But since P.F. only challenges B. B. entities,
that means little to most of you. -- Dr. K.

Aha! The B. B. Suppers will soon be leaving us here on Noblish. I wonder what will be
served for breakfast? -- Dr. K.
