Audio Coverage (downloadable zip file)
Welcome to the The Gates of Kyoto, the site of this inaugural exhibition match between the visiting Worchester Ravens and the defending Kyoto Foxes. I'm your host Jaydar Cleaver.
The Gates of Kyoto is a classic ludomancy arena sporting three hard mountain paths all housed around magical lay lines in the heart of an ancient temple.
Both teams are seeking the 8pts are on the with 4pts from a diamond and pearl in the Fushimi Inari Taisha, 2pts from two pearls in Nijo Castle, and 2pts from a lone crystal somewhere along the Arashiyama. Our temporal omni-cast is being provided by the West Coast Warlocks in an attempt to serve all the craven murder among us!
...and they are off, it looks like the KFLC and the WTR both opt for a 2 party line-up sending a strong offensive line through the Fushimi Inari Taisha and into the astral mountain environment in the inner shrine. Both teams know the diamond here will swing victory and they have pulled out the stops!
Path 1 - Fushimi Inari Taisha
Knowing the terrain, the KFLC sends their three best witches into the shrine ready to for the duel led by their team MVP Denna the Powerful [KFLC], a little more hesitant about the terrain. In position Poe Olamina [KFLC] initiates the the Ludo Duello catching Michelle Stevenson [WTR] out of her element, she seems cursed here!
A counter by Arther Copperfield [WTR] and it's full pandemonium in the shrine folks! Both teams are fighting for ground but it's clear KFLC is more comfortable in their home turf and they are showing their heart here, they have done it! The pearl is powered up and Garnet Tsukino [KFLC], and the foxes take the lead 1 - 0!
Path 2 - Nijo Castle
On the second path, both teams have sent parties of two into the castle opting to ignore the wilds of Arashiyama and bamboo path that houses only one crystal. These smaller squads for both sides seem hesitant to engage as they square up across the Nijo Castle plaza... and they are off, Ludo Duello!!!!!
The plaza is ablaze with light, a signature move for the luminous duo, but something wrong, some kind of temporal shift has been triggered and has erupted across the area! Were both teams caught... wait, no! Gregory Porter-Handon [WTR] and Serafina Spinel [WTR] are hammering the positions of Ricky [KFLC] and Angharad [KFLC] having trained in temporal rifts before. It looks like the Ravens are going to make quick work of the second path as Serafina has grabbed a charged pearl still pressing the attack.
Back @ Fushimi Inari Taisha
Back to the shrine, the KFLC has pushed the ravens into a corner and the diamond is almost charged! It's three on two, no three on one as Bradley Chiang [WTR] goes down to a well placed flourish by Guadalupe [KFLC]. It's all over for... wait, something happening. Bridget Jones [WTR] seems to have attuned herself to the astral energy of the shrine and Denna [KFLC] is down what an upset. Her astral energy is off the charts and she is lining up a finishing strike on Guadalupe [KFLC].

The craven murder is up in arms in the stands, the caws are explosive, but it's too late, with fate on the side of the foxes and the stars have aligned! Poe [KFLC] has the Diamond, fully charged by Bridget's [WTR] astral prowess! That is the game folks, at 4 - 2, there is nothing the Ravens can do having just secured the second pearl in the castle.
A great exhibition match, stay tuned for the rematch in the Central Mass. tonight!
