Scumbase

In the quiet of the nearly deserted guildhall, a sudden slam is heard, echoing loudly in the half light. The hatch to the bilge squishes slightly onto the floor as a grungy, mashed red velvet hat pops up followed by flopping green ears and finally Alyxyn's weary, foggy eyes.

Emerging quick and smoothly from there, Alyxyn springs up onto the floor with a huge bag of illicitly gathered holiday bootses. With a bellow of "Merry Grinchmas" followed by a muttered "or other appropreeate greetins", he makes his way to da Gboss' throne to add his latest report to da wall.

On this wrapping paper written report, sparkly glittery ink lights up the room a bit as you read:

"We finully dun got a liddle bittah luck un killed dunjon 33 despite less den a perfect checkin. Dis certainly shows dat it iz possible tah win wit less den everbuddy werking on it but wit each raid it getz harder un harder. Ciciz has apparently been spending a very busy holiday season, increasing her skills by 4 lebels. It goes to show just how driven she is, when Nargipoofufusquishybrainssquarebottom only managed a single lebel. Ah gezzes dat Ciciz dun wore Nargipoo out un had to ... work de edges offa de holidays :) Kami had been commenting how he wuz missin his sweetie un it shows since he dun improved 3 lebels himself."

"Good job one and all however as several peoples have also hit landmarks, but I will leave most of that for others to elaborate on. Howevah, ah recommend dat ya start kippin an eye on His Royal Roundness, da Rollickin Quilp. He is closing in on bein da first 300 lebel Scum, so lets all cheer him on.. and drive him forward even if it is by torch and pitchfork. Goooooo Team Round! Finally, congrats to Gruel on being the last to climb past 175! Let all keep pushing until the lowest rank is 200!

"Arena results continue to be interesting with lots of scum up high. Overall the high ranks are littered with Scum, Endless un some standalones with the ranking ever shifting. Redwood18 and Woopydoo continue to climb but do so slowly at their elevations, making it to 46 and 24 respectfully. Lots of other scum are advancing as well however, like Melange's 19 rank climb to 320 and Valind's 61 ranking climb to 673.

"With our stampbooks, we are still at less than half of our scumminesses being in the 95% club however there are a couple of scum edging up to break that 50% population. Dolgan at 92.71, AAylia at 91.59, Duckytape Queen at 92.82, Bakryu at 91.35, and Rizzo at 90.94. Just a little more concerted effort and it is within your grasp.

"Other than that, We'z looking forward to a bit more nog, ahr ferst effort intah de Dunjon 34 as we keep hitt'n da Raids for a bit longer. "

Having delivered his news, Alyxyn returns to the murky depths of the bilge with his bootses lootses and to care for himself and his.

"Merry Grinchmas to all ... and to all a Good Booting!"
