While Spotted Moon rests his voice, Dawnbringer is here to fill in! With 2 Dueler and 1 Rogue, as well as an unsettling 2 Assailant and 1 Tactician

Here comes Thunderstorm with his Dulcet Mutterbird!

They bring:

3x Dueler, +3 to Darkspine

2x Assailant, -2 to Murkwood

1x Support, -1 to Goldsea

Acorn Squash and Zack, his Goldsea Enderling, continue the fight for Goldsea. They bring 4 Support and deal 1 blow each to Murkwood and Icerun!

Here comes Murasaki and a Feral Mymori she picked up along the way! She weaves and dodges, scoring 4 points for Darkspine, one point against Murkwood, and one point against Goldsea!

Gloom peers down the hill, watching the Lorball game below. There is a loud crunch, a whistle rings out, and in the distance an announcer shouts, "Ooof, and another Murkwood player goes down! So much for crushing their foes with overwhelming might! If anyone's getting crushed, it's them!" There is an uproar of laughter from the audience. Gloom nods solemnly and turns towards his companion, who just arrived. He gives them a look over and smiles. "About time you showed up, Violet."

Violet peers down at the field and shivers. Glooms looks down as well and says, "It's looking pretty rough down there." Violet, a purple Volymr, replies, "Rough is an understatement! Darkspine is dominating! They got magic and are like 'pew pew,' and when a player thinks they finally got one, poof, they're gone! They are running circles around everyone!"

Gloom chuckles, "Yeah, I wasn't expecting it to be so...one-sided." Smirking, he pulls out a knapsack and begins withdrawing purple clothing. Violet, fixated on the game, murmurs, "It's as good as over. The only way for anyone but Darkspine to win is if the other packs unite to fight back. But even then…" Her voice, trailing off as Darkspine scores another point.

Gloom slyly begins to layer purple cloth over Violet. Violet, still focused on the game, continues, "I would play for Goldsea, but I am sooooo bad at Lorball. In fact, having me on the team would somehow make the opponents score even more points against us!" Gloom manages to dress her in quite the purple outfit before she notices. "Hey! What are you doing? We're Goldsea, not Darkspine! We can't just change sides like that!" Gloom smiles and winks. "Can't we?" He pulls out a Darkspine flag and hands it to Violet. Gloom steps back, inspecting his work, and nods gleefully.

"There, you will fit perfectly; they won't even know what hit them." Narrowing her eyes, Violet asks, "Gloom, what are you planning?" Chuckling, Gloom replies, "Sun Tzu, or was it Shih Tzu? Anyways, a great lorwolf general once said, 'Hiding order beneath the cloak of disorder is simply a question of subdivision; concealing courage under a show of timidity presupposes a fund of latent energy; masking strength with weakness is to be effected by tactical dispositions.'" Violet, completely dumbfounded, shakes her head. "I don't know what any of that means." Gloom leans over and places a paw on her back. "It means…good luck!" And with a gentle push, Violet, not so gracefully, descends into the Lorball melee! Violet cries out, her voice slowly fading by distance, "GGGLLLLLOOOOooooommmmmm!!!"

Gloom, smiling, lets out a deep bark. Flying down from above, a Darkspine Enderling drops down beside Gloom. Gloom pats the gentle creature on the head and nestles it. "Keep an eye out for her for me." The Darkspine Enderling contentedly growls before stepping away. Stretching out its wings, it launches itself up into the air before diving down into the Lorball match.

In the distance, the announcer's voice rings out, "And another Darkspine player arrives! "What a one-sided game! Wait, what is this?! I have never seen such a bad Lorball player! They have just arrived and have already scored for Darkspine's opposition!!!"
