Practice pays for RAOUL, who pummelled MOULDY ROGUE, to pocket 12 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, DIZZY MALT-WORM was winsome, after beating SILVERBACK and seeing him lose 10 points. GOODBYE found out that ROCANIS isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. And how sociable are ROCANIS' warriors? Come, let us see. The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Hey JUNGLE CRUISE! Is there some deep dark, unmentionable secret as to why ALBERTA FALLS has been sent to the Dark Arena? 2-0-1 isn't so shabby! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting! Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ROCANIS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DION STARFIRE 2399 10 2 1 109 STAR GUARDIANS (190) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AGIS 1499 14 11 1 93 STAR GUARDIANS (190) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GOODBYE 5044 15 13 2 90 MS11 05 (504) RAOUL 3749 9 3 0 81 STAR GUARDIANS (190) STEADY SARAH 5088 15 15 0 80 MIDDLE WAY 20 (435) BLOODSWORD II 3775 6 0 1 67 STAR GUARDIANS (190) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SAGAN 3542 7 4 0 66 STAR GUARDIANS (190) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MANNINGTREE OX 5122 6 2 1 55 BARDIC FLAPPERY (510) MOULDY ROGUE 5124 6 2 0 54 BARDIC FLAPPERY (510) TALL THOMAS 5089 8 22 0 46 MIDDLE WAY 20 (435) FLAP-DRAGON 5104 3 7 0 40 BARDIC FLAPPERY (510) DIZZY MALT-WORM 5107 3 2 0 37 BARDIC FLAPPERY (510) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PUZZLEWIT 5123 3 5 1 22 BARDIC FLAPPERY (510) SILVERBACK 5137 3 2 1 14 JUNGLE CRUISE (513) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
