My plentiful associates,


While you have all taken your sovereigns and thrown them at one another
in a useless spat of rhetoric, I have continued to operate my Beastpit
with resounding success! I have seen many of you who have spoken here
placing bets with my boys, and Beiyn and Tromlag show no discrimination
when it comes to who they will reward if the reward is due!

Let me assure you that the training our fine competitors receive is of
the highest quality! Only the best are selected to face off against one
another, and the entertainment they provide has serviced the Spinesreach
community and all of its visitors for decades. It would be foolish and
of absolutely no benefit to anyone to even attempt to shut down my
reputable operation.

To those of you who still harbor a jealous hatred of my success, I
implore you: Make good on your words! Come to my little pit of wonders
behind the Winterbreeze Inn, and show some resolve behind those fine
phrases you put to paper. I assure you, neither my boys nor I will be
made to change on account of a few brutes left behind the times.
