Another Season, Another Young Gun Tournament

[RDL Yuknon]

They should call him Baron Yuknon.

No, Prince Yuknon-the-Bold.

No, Prince Yuknon-the-Boldest-Fastest-Smoking-Gunniest-Lord-of-the-Battleground!

No, King Yuknon-the-Majestic-and-Benevolent-but-Not-Too-Benevolent-Because-He'll-Shoot-Ya-in-Yer-Dirty-Face-Commoner!

These were the thoughts that spun like cotton candy through the little goblin's tiny brain as he waddled past the poor and starving masses down in the tunnels of Dust Town. It had been a year since the end of the Duel of Guns' first season, and what a year it had been. The Rhy'Din Defense League and Dust Town's problems with Badtooth the Slag Dragon, Zombies (always Zombies!), and that cyber-giant Gethmog had just been the start to a really, really bad year.

Since then, poor Yuknon had suffered so much. Constant rebel attacks, being picked on by the guards, being picked on by little elf girls, losing an eye due to a really unfortunate ricochet bullet shot, putting in that glowing red stone into his empty eye-socket, all of the voices in his head, pulling out that glowing red stone from his empty eye-socket, losing all of his voice-head friends, accidentally walking in on Lord Imperius while he was in the shower and suffering the very well documented legal consequences for such, and more.

He was ready to be the big goblin in Dust Town again! In just a matter of hours, the doors to the re-opened Battleground would open, and hopeless maggots would spill into the stands to watch mayhem and bloodshed. And most importantly, they all had to listen to Yuknon! Yuknon and his wonderful voice, Yuknon the best Official of the Duel of Guns, Yuknon the Savior of Rhy'Din!

Everyone was going to love him so much, and the horrors of the past year would finally be over. So what, the rebel forces that lived outside of Dust Town in their little camps all around the city of Rhy'Din were gaining numbers daily? So what that their leaders seemed to out-think the Rhy'Din Defense League at every turn, and that they had left many unflattering promises to destroy Lord Imperius and his followers, and liberate Dust Town's poor from oppression?

Shyyeaaa, as-if.

Yuknon climbed up a pile of three black-out drunk goblins stacked atop one another, and proudly pinned his very-important-and-very-official letter to the Cork Board down in "The Gardens" of Dust Town, home to vagrants, homeless, prostitutes (so it wasn't all bad), thieves, and even some bad people.

"Tha's righ', meatbags. S'Yuknon season, baaaaaaby!", the goblin decried in his shrill and rather unbearable voice, a moment before the ladder of unconscious goblins that he stood atop fell and he went sprawling down to the cold stone ground below. With a sickening 'SNAP', he felt his nose break and blood begin to fill up in the corner of his one, good eye.

"Damn't."

[RDL Yuknon]

The following notice has been nailed up to the TOP of the Public Cork Board.


Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

The ever wise, ever benevolent President of the Rhy'Din Defense League, Lord Imperius, has decreed that the Battleground is to be re-opened (again) and will host more blood sports for public entertainment!

This means you, fellows of Fort Hope Dust Town! Become a gun-fighter, become a legend! Those who earn Lord Imperius' eye and the rank of Sharpshooter will be paid FIVE TIMES the pay of a regular worker. That's right! FIVE TIMES the pay, just for gun-fighting in a public Arena! Do it for the glory, do it for your family! Do it for your expensive addictions!

Or, if getting shot at is not your thing, come and watch the fights, every Thursday from 10:30-1:30am [EST] and Sunday from 1-4pm [EST], and enjoy some cheap Brains to drink and free Ruel to eat! Free food and entertainment, every Thursday and Sunday, up in the newly re-opened Battleground!

What's more?

We'll be hosting the Battleground's first Tournament on Sunday, April 12th! Be one of the first sixteen gun-fighters to sign up and become part of the second ever...

Young Gun Tournament! Sign up below!

Participation as a combatant is open to all. Protective gear, guns and ammunition will be provided for free (though we will not compensate your family should you die!) All games will be hosted by the Master of Ceremonies, Yuknon! He will have the final say in any debate or argument.

Rejoice! The Rhy'Din Defense League is bringing the world we once knew back to us, one step at a time. Re-opening the Battleground and city-wide sports is a major step forward in reclaiming what we've lost, and showing those dirty rebels that we're still the best shots this planet's got!
