This past Ursulmas had 160 fighters. 8 fields of 20 fighters doing a round robin on their field. The top 2 from each field advanced int...

Out this away, the expectation is that the chattel can join in the entertainment. Fighting in tourney and fighting well is a test. My ability to win crown is directly related to how many people I can food poison, and even a few of those people will need to get "Kerriganed". I can fight in ...

No worries. I figure a lot of the stuff has shots that can be found of the whole thing, but close ups of various parts are a little harder to find.
