NOT FOR PUBLICATION: Well the dog's out of the box as it were. Everyone seems to know about the Tournament. With the Chronic delays in getting a firm date, the logistics, rules, etc. it would be best to concentrate on the HUMAN INTEREST ANGLE. Again, be POSITIVE! Stay away from any of the myriad of negative stories swirling around the city. A good idea might be to play up the POSITIVE about the arrival of delegates from the Continent, the Count of Phlegm and the Duke of Spittany.

King Makes Public Statement
The King spent much of the day clapping and skipping. "They're dancing, dancing in the street, all day long! No need to teach them the Royal Tango."
Knights Tango with Townsfolk
With Industry in Botela De Cola at a standstill, many residents are throwing impromptu block parties. Unfortunately, one group blocked Sir Nikita and his retinue as they made their way to the Inn of High Hopes. When the drunken revelers would not give way to the knight and crew, Sir Nkita charged into their midst waving his sword. Though he did not hit anyone, all were POSITIVE that they were scared. Other HUMAN townsfolk converged on the scene INTERESTed in what had happened.

Knights Tango With City WatchSir Tony, Sir Jude and Sir Espan were misdirected by pranksters in town and could not find their way to the Inn of High Hopes. As they discussed their dilemma, a group of City Watchman asked if they could move to another street, as the street they were on was reserved for the Charity Event RAT-RACE AGAINST TIME (fundraiser for aging research in Tar Shakan.) The knights were insulted at the deference paid to rats over themselves. They promptly trampled the Watch and would have continued on to trample some of the RAT racers, but for the lucky happenstance of sighting the sign for the Inn from their new vantage point. All HUMANs were INTERESTed in the ANGLE needed to see the sign. All non-trampled folk were POSITIVE that the intersection was the best viewing spot in the whole city.

Knights Tango With Mangan SluedSir Sandor found himself surrounded by a rough crowd demanding money to protect the knight's horse from harm. After a burst of laughter from Sir Sandor, the toughs started pushing Sir Sandor. He proceeded to poke them viciously with his sword. Many were injured, but all fled the scene. The City Watch appeared, having heard that coins may have fallen on the ground. DO NOT PUBLISH There is no POSITIVE HUMAN INTEREST ANGLE in this story. Revise. ed.

Knight Tangos with Obay OrsolongSir Martin aka the Bike Knight was surrounded by members of Obay Orsolong who said, "Knights ride horses, not bikes. Get it Right!" The Bike Knight responded by lancing three of them like shish kabobs and scattering the rest. "Might makes right and my might makes the bike right." His HUMAN confidence and elation was definitely POSITIVE and INTERESTing.
