The two hellish items were wielded by one of my brother's PCs back in the 1980s and '90s in our planes-spanning Greyhawk/Mendenein campaigns, while the ring and potions are from my current pre-and post-COVID Greyhawk campaigns.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The bibliophage Rhodrar of _____ is no more.&nbsp;

A suit of&nbsp;</span>iridescent and reflective&nbsp;<span>platemail,&nbsp;</span>beautifully-crafted&nbsp;of a dull ruby-red hue.&nbsp; The plates are etched with fine detail, and depict scenes from The Rebellion, The Fall, the architecture and landscapes of the Nine Hells, and other Infernal designs and devices.&nbsp; Each is also emblazoned with the standard of its arch-devil creator, while none bear the device of the Infernal Standard itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><i>Magical Description and Lore</i>:&nbsp; Hellsguard is a creation of the Dukes of Hell as a part of the Regalia of Hell (q.v.).&nbsp; Each duke crafted one suit of Hellsguard to give to his or her chosen mortal champion; Hellsguard is bestowed only upon the&nbsp;</span>most-high servant of the Nine Hells---each wielder is&nbsp;powerful, influential, competent, and trusted by their arch-devil.&nbsp; Twenty mortals are known to have donned one of the nine suits.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">As one might expect from a devil's device, the nomenclature of Hellsguard is fraught with grammatical complexities:&nbsp; some sages name it as Hells'guard (or Hell's Guard or Hells Guard), Hellsgard (Hell's Gard, Hells Gard), or Hellsgird (Hell's Gird, Hells Gird).&nbsp; It is also known as The Champion's Gard or Garb or Gird, and sometimes named for its plane of origin, as "Nessus Guard" for example.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sages who specialize in the Infernal Realms and devildom&nbsp;do know of some lore that&nbsp;curiously&nbsp;speaks of Hellsguard as The Hells' Garden, and speculates that it was forged before the founding of the Hells and before the Fall, by the Morningstar itself.&nbsp; Such speculation is largely discredited as not only unlikely, but vastly improbable given the assumed power of the Twelve, relative to the bestowed powers of the armor.&nbsp;&nbsp;A minority of sages (often among those who lend credence to the previous theories) also believe that a tenth suit was created, perhaps by by The Morningstar, Astaroth, or other of the past Overlords of Hell.&nbsp; If such a suit exists, it is presumed to be bound to and represent the cross-planar Citadel of Hell.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Magical Properties and Gameplay Notes</i>:&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Forged from an arjale-tantulhor-Disiron alloy, Hellsguard is <b>multi-planar&nbsp;platemail +4</b> that provides a base movement rate of 12".&nbsp; It is incredibly strong and never nicks, dents, or scratches.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">When first donned, the armor flows in a liquid/molten state to conform to the body shape of its wielder, from pixie- to titan-sized.&nbsp; It can accommodate tails, wings, gills, multiple limbs, et al, as required by its wielder's body type.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">When its powers are activated, its metallic iridescence brightens into a glow of ruby brilliance that can be seen clearly from hundreds of yards away at its brightest, when its greatest powers are invoked.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">While each suit of Hellsguard provides the following powers and abilities, common across all nine suits.&nbsp;

published in the USA as&nbsp;<u>The Silver Warriors</u>)</span>&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><i><br />Physical Description</i>:&nbsp; Mephrytis is a longsword forged from a pale red metal, and inscribed or inset with with nine relief-raised runes that transfix the blade and are visible from each side.&nbsp; Its design is otherwise plain, with a standard quillons guard, a grip of black and silver hide, and no ornamentation in the guard or&nbsp;</span>pommel.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span><i>Magical Description and Lore</i>:&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span>Sagely or bardic examination can determine that the hide is from a bulette (difficulty Specific), but the metal will resist easy identification without lower-planar expertise, as&nbsp;</span>the metal is <i>tantulhor</i>, mined from within the Nine Hells (see Ed Greenwood's articles from <b>Dragon Magazine</b> # 74, 75, and 91).&nbsp; Mephrytis detects as magic (intense&nbsp;conjuration/summoning and evocation,&nbsp;very strong alteration and invocation), evil (overwhelming), and lawful (overwhelming).&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Mephrytis and Hellsguard (q.v.) were forged together, with similar histories.&nbsp; While they have most-often been wielded together, they have at times been employed singly, but not within recent memory.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Magical Properties and Gameplay Notes</i>:&nbsp; Mephrytis is a <b>multi-planar,&nbsp;</b><b>dancing</b><b>&nbsp;sentient longsword +2</b>:&nbsp; it's magical capabilities are fixed and do not change whether the blade is wielded in Hell, Greyhawk, or the Deep Ethereal planes.&nbsp;

this light blocks usage of infravision, ultravision, x-ray vision, and other non-visible spectrums of light from functioning within its area of effect</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">a bloody-magenta faerie-fire illumination in a 5-foot radius;

It is also telepathic, but does not speak aloud in any known manner.&nbsp; The personality of the sword has never been described by its wielders, but it is known to serve and advance the causes of the Hells and its devilish masters.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Mephrytis bears the Nine Sigils of Hell, each a symbol devised by one of the Nine Infernal Muses.&nbsp; The Nine Sigils also appear in the Infernal Standard and other Regalia of Hell artifacts (q.q.v.), although they are not necessarily enchanted with identical effects.&nbsp; As such, Mephrytis is also known as The Sword of Sigils, The Sword of the Nine Signs, and similar epithets.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The runic powers of Mephrytis' Nine Sigils are detailed below, using the Common language command word required to invoke each Sigil's effects.&nbsp; Legends suggest that the effects can be strengthened or otherwise augmented if a Sigil is invoked using the Infernal dialect native to each Sigil's home plane in Hell:</span></p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Flamentine" causes the sword to erupt in hellish flame drawn from the depths of Avernus.&nbsp; Flametine is usable twice per day, and lasts for 9 rounds, or until quenched.</span></li><ul><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Each successful hit in combat inflicts an additional 1-6 points of fiery damage, which ignores non-Infernal fire protections and immunities.&nbsp; As a <b>flametongue</b>, this will ignite flammable materials and objects.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">While flaming, the wielder is protected from fire as an infernal <b>ring of fire resistance</b>.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Alcyon" causes the pale red hue of the blade's metal to exude a coppery-red aura drawn from Dis.&nbsp; Alcyon activates the <b>wounding</b> power of Mephrytis, and usable up to four times per week.&nbsp; It lasts for 1-9 turns per use.&nbsp; Wounds inflicted by Alcyon can only be healed magically by demi-, lesser-, intermediate, or greater gods of any alignment or their divine agents and emissaries, or by mortal clerics of the various lawful evil gods or archdevils.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Calamezxi" causes the pale red hue of the blade to deepen and to assume a repulsive, putrescent quality drawn from the fetid reeks of Minauros.&nbsp; Any target struck in the next 9 swings of the blade must save vs. spells or be <b><i>diseased</i> with hell-rot</b>, and die in agony over the next 1-9 rounds (1d10-1; a 1 rolled counts as 1 not 0) as their flesh falls from their bones, inflicting 1/x rounds full hit points of proportional damage each round of Calamezxi's duration.&nbsp; This disease is only curable by 1/ neutralize poison and cure disease from a 9th+ level cleric, 2/ remove curse and cure diseas from an 11th+ level cleric, or 3/ dispel magic from a 16th+ level cleric.&nbsp; Calamezxi is usable only once per month.&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Angpheld" <b><i>summons</i> 1-2 bearded devils</b> from the depths of Phlethegos, which will serve the wielder unquestioningly and exactly, for 9 rounds.&nbsp;

It is usable nine times per month, but no more than twice per day.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Excorziastrindinities" is a 3 segment casting time <b><i>curse</i></b>, more colloquially known as "<b><i>Blossoms of The Fall</i></b>."&nbsp; Devised personally by Baalzebul, this unique incantation cannot be learned or cast without Mephrytis, which also serves as the material component and focus for the spell (it is naturally not consumed; the somatic component consists of a sharp salute upward toward the Heavens, then pointing the blade downward toward Malbolge to draw the curse into the blade, which glows with a brick-red aura of hatred while holding the curse; then the curse-aura is fired at the victim, with a range of 3").&nbsp; The target must save vs. spells at -5 or suffer the full effects of the curse, which turns the victim into a devil of appropriate HD (or otherwise transforms them into a fallen state if they are 14 HD/levels or higher).&nbsp; If the victim Falls, they must make a second saving throw (at normal chances as a devil, and at -130% MR) or they are <i>geased</i> to seek the service of Baalzebul, otherwise they are <i>geased</i> to present themselves to offer service to the nearest enthroned arch-devil (exiles and independents do not count).&nbsp;&nbsp;"Blossoms of The Fall" is usable up to nine times per millenium, but no more than once per century.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Drendipuir" calls forth a roiling cloud of poisonous vapors from Maladomini.&nbsp; Treat this as a <b><i>cloudkill+incendiary cloud</i></b> cast at 21st level, although the vapors of Drendiuir cannot be moved by winds save those that originate from the Heavens or by the Winds of Limbo.&nbsp; It is usable once per nine weeks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Hellsblades" invokes a mobile arjale <b><i>blade barrier</i></b> 9 feet high, wide, and deep.&nbsp; It moves at 9" at the mental command of its wielder, who may cast other spells and take other actions while Hellsblades do their work.&nbsp; Creatures contacting the maelstrom suffer 18-63 points of damage per round of contact (9d6+9).&nbsp; The Sigil&nbsp; lasts for 9 turns, and is usable once per three months.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Noirethithiel" enables the wielder to scribe a <b><i>symbol</i></b> in the air, using Mephrytis as a stylus.&nbsp;

That places it solidly among the largest of my dungeon levels, and it's comparable in width to my original design for the first level of my Castle Greyhawk (which has been </span><a href="https://grodog.blogspot.com/2020/05/revising-and-expanding-first-two-dungeon-levels-of-grodog-castle-greyhawk.html" style="font-family: georgia;">significantly enlarged more-recently</a><span style="font-family: georgia;">, along with my second level).&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Unlike many of my maps, I didn't sign and date this one, so I'm not sure offhand when&nbsp;</span><span>I created it&nbsp;</span><span>during the past decade-ish, but I worked on it last in November 2019, probably as prep for running it as a convention game, but I didn&#8217;t get quite that far with the keying.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">As usual with my unfinished maps, various rooms are orphaned until I determine whether access to them will be via doors, archways, secret doors, or other more-esoteric means of entry.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Some interesting (to me, anyway!) features to note:</span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Entrances are via the 60&#8217; circular shaft just right-of-center, ramps on the right side, a 20' wide corridor to the south, and a 20&#8217; wide secret corridor on the far left</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">The area just above the entry shaft is the levels titular Recessive Gallery---a recessed artwork gallery.&nbsp; I haven&#8217;t decided exactly what type of art is represented in its exhibits, but I&#8217;m leaning toward statues and other physical/magical art emplacements (similar in style but not necessarily subject matter to those in my <a href="http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/greyhawk-seminar-handouts-drow-npc-grodog-07.pdf">drowic sage of demonology's home</a> in Erelhei Cinlu)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">You&#8217;ll notice some triangular doors drawn on the level, and they are in fact triangular in shape and placed in triangularly-shaped corridors, which complicate movement (the triangles are oriented with the point downward)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">A few of the rooms are moving, although only one is marked on this version of hte map: &nbsp;the lower-right 40x40&#8217;

The hole is ringed with 20 teeth, each a yellow-green chrysoberyl shard.&nbsp; The beholder's central eye is a spectacular double-stone---a jacinth with an inset violet garnet---while each of the ten smaller eyes is a different precious stone worth 500 to 1000gp.&nbsp; The top of the ring features a magical rune in raised relief.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">As an item of fine jewelry, the ring would command at least 12,500 golden orbs.&nbsp;</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Magical Description and Lore</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">At least five variants of the <b>Maw of the Beholder</b> have been successfully identified, and all are believed to be the creations of the artificer-mage Oshonj-Opp'n.&nbsp; Each features his personal rune atop the beholder's head.&nbsp; Oshonj resided in the small riverine community of Port Nilonct, situated at the juncture of the Velverdyva and Att Rivers during the heyday of the Archclericy of Voll (now modern Veluna; the town was destroyed during the great floods of 57 CY).&nbsp; It is not known when or where Oshonj first encountered the fearsome eye tyrants, but his surviving laboratory journals demonstrate both the deep familiarity and a certain fixation that can have only grown from direct, personal experience.&nbsp; While a master craftsman and enchanter, Oshonj never received regular patronage, attracted few apprentices, and faded from the court's eye over time.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Oshonj's rings were first recorded by the Baklhunish bard Zilepfe Saerrical, who observed the successful usage of a <i>Tyrant's Crown</i> while exploring the Rift Canyon in the company of Keoghtom and Quaal in 189 CY.&nbsp; He recounted their exploits at the court of Viceroy Belkan I in Dyvers, which were duly&nbsp; recorded by Endrrhen Y'laexa, sage for the visiting Prince Moranvich, and later also an associate of the court wizard Alphon.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Oshonj eventually attained lichdom, and remained&nbsp;</span><span>secluded in his forgotten tower in the westernmost timberlands of the Gnarley,</span><span>&nbsp;until he&nbsp;</span><span>was destroyed by The Company of the Thirsting Peryton in 224 CY.&nbsp; They sold various mundane and magical treasures from the lair, including several of Oshonj's laboratory journals, and one of each of the five known ring types.&nbsp; Widely believed to have retained additional rings and other unsold valuables, the adventurers found themselves hunted by wizards and beset by assassins, and they fled into the wilds of the Cairn Hills, never to be heard from again....&nbsp;

The rings cannot be recharged---their secrets of creation and enchantment lost with the Oshonj's demise.&nbsp; Prices and XP value are for a full-charged ring.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Cursed Maw of Wounding</i>&nbsp;(one known to exist):&nbsp; This variant appears to provide magical capabilities similar to one of the other four rings, but when commanded into action during battle or in any other stressful situation, the ring's true nature is revealed as the beholder's mouth closes and its chrysoberyl teeth dig into the finger of the wielder's hand!&nbsp; The ring cannot be removed, and the victim takes 1-3 points of <i>wounding</i> damage per round for ten rounds, and at the end (if still alive), they must succeed in a natural save vs. dragon breath (no bonuses permitted) or the finger is severed.&nbsp; (If slain, the finger is severed as well).&nbsp; Severed fingers cannot be reattached or healed save by <i>regeneration</i> or <i>wish</i>, and permanently reduce the character's Dexterity by 2 points.&nbsp; Some sages speculate that all of Oshonj's rings become cursed when they run out of charges....&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b><br />XP Value</b>:&nbsp; --&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b>GP Value</b>:&nbsp; 3000 (made of inferior materials compared to the others, which is only obvious after the ring's true nature is known)<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Ring of Peering</i> (four known to exist):&nbsp; When activated by command, in four segments the eyestalks on the <i>ring of peering</i> elongate up to 16 feet in length, and actively gyre to look in all directions, peer around corners, and into nearby dimensions---seeing hidden, camouflaged, invisible, out-of-phase, ethereal, or astral creatures in a 6" radius.&nbsp; Each charge expended lasts for 6 rounds, and while activated, the wearer cannot be surprised, backstabbed, or assassinated except by <i>teleport</i>, <i>timestop</i>, or similar tactics.&nbsp; At least one <i>ring of peering</i> is also known to provide <i>true sight</i> (as the illusionist spell), and another <i>x-ray vision</i>.&nbsp; Each ring has from 6 to 47 charges (6d12-25; minimum 6).<br /><b><br />XP Value</b>:&nbsp; 2000<br /><b>GP Value</b>:&nbsp; 15,000 (20,000 for <i>true sight</i> or <i>x-ray vision</i> versions)<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Anti-Magic Eye</i> (two known to exist):&nbsp; Perhaps the most-puissant ring created by Ossonj, this variant has only one function:&nbsp; when activated, in 2 segments it fires an anti-magic ray up to 8" at either a creature or an object.&nbsp; Non-magical objects receive no saving throw and are automatically hit.&nbsp; Magical objects save at base 15, with with an additional +1 for each plus above +1, and an additional +5 if they increase agility, or reflect or resist magical effects (including providing MR).&nbsp; Creatures targeted must save vs. spells to determine if the ray hit (save fails) or missed (save succeeds).&nbsp; If the ray misses the primary target it continues to maximum range and may hit a secondary target (who is also entitled to a saving throw, etc.; if the ray reaches maximum range without successfully striking a target, the ray vanishes and the charge is lost).&nbsp; A target struck by the anti-magic ray is encapsulated in anti-magic for 8 rounds:&nbsp; they cannot use magic weapons, spells, or effects as if they were in the radius of an <i>anti-magic shell</i> spell, and similarly cannot be targeted by magic weapons, spells, or effect (magical weapons will still function as normal weapons and can still damage an enveloped target).&nbsp; Each ring has from 3 to 60 charges (5d12-2d10 where 10s count as 0s).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><b><br />XP Value</b>:&nbsp; 2500<br /><b>GP Value</b>:&nbsp; 17,500<br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;"><i>Ring of Replication</i> (three known to exist):&nbsp; Each <i>ring of replication</i> features 1d12-2 functional eyestalks; any result of 3 or less means that the central eye does not function.&nbsp; Each functioning eye or eyestalk can fire a single beholder eyeray beam 2d3-1 times before its charges are fully expended.&nbsp;

</span>Robert Brandon graciously agreed to help me unload the minivan, and we arrived at the Forum for the 8am start of exhibitor check-in.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>With Robert&#8217;s help, I was able to cede my spot at the loading dock by 8:45am or so, and to begin building the booth. <span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;<br /></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">I had planned for a similarly-open booth design like how we&#8217;d set up last year, but this process is, unfortunately, more art than science, and it&#8217;s not something anyone who doesn&#8217;t know the planned layout and the products as a whole can really help much with.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>So, after Robert and I rejockeyed the tables a few times, and with some reconfiguration and fine-tuning by swapping out tables with the able assistance of the hotel staff, the booth settled into its final form, and I thanked Robert and released him to rest of his day by 9:30 or 10am.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;<br /></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">The Forum was reorganized this year, which was a bit of a surprise---I&#8217;d seen changes in the layout design, but they hadn&#8217;t quite clicked, given the relocation of the GaryCon merchandise to the back-right corner of the hall.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>The big surprise (and a hugely positive change overall!) was the shifting of the throughways in the Forum to run the full length of the hall---this really opened the chamber up, and allowed gamers to see down the full length of the halls from the main entry doors.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>That in turn gave better line-of-sight to vendors along the throughways, and helped to showcase the breadth and depth of products available at the show.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span><br /></span></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Black Blade Publishing and Our OSR Cornucopia</span></h3></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">For those folks who are unfamiliar with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlackBladePublishing/"><span class="s1" style="color: #0563c1;"><b>Black Blade Publishing</b></span></a>, we publish our own books (<b>OSRIC</b>, <b>Monsters of Myth</b>, <b>Tales of Peril</b>) modules (Rob Kuntz&#8217;s <b>Bottle City</b>, <b>Cairn of the Skeleton King</b>, <b>Tower of Blood</b>), and gaming tools (graph and hex paper pads from quarter-page size up to 17x22&#8221;).<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;

</span>And by the end of the day, we had both documentary films in the booth---<b>Secrets of Blackmoor</b> and <b>The Dreams in Gary&#8217;s Basement</b>---as well as <b>The Lost Dungeons of Tonisborg</b>, too.<br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Paul&#8217;s <i>Legends of Roleplaying</i> Tourney</span></h3></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Every year for the past several Paul Stormberg has run a large (the largest?) tournament at GaryCon.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>The past few years have been themed around exploring the Temple of Elemental Evil, and this year&#8217;s tourney capstoned that series, as the PCs attempted to bring battle to the Elder Elemental God itself! <span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;<br /></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Similar to previous years, this year&#8217;s scenario included some challenging puzzles, but the overall adventure was more streamlined, which allowed more time to work through its challenges, as well as more time to complete the adventure.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>My crew of players were all veterans of both the tournament format and of the ToEE background and environs (several played last year).<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>They fared well during the initial encounters, but were stymied in a puzzle room that permitted three of the PCs to pass relatively unscathed, but which damaged the rest of the party when they attempted to follow.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>In the end, they wisely decided to split the party while working through the logic of the puzzle, which permitted the first group to advance to the semi-final encounter.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>They were joined by one of the other PCs toward the end of the round&#8217;s time, and those PCs were literally saved by the bell---my phone timer went off as I was picking up handfuls of d8s to hit the four PCs with three <i>flamestrikes</i>, which would have insured their doom (dead PCs aren&#8217;t worth points in the tourney scoring). <span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;<br /></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the end, they ranked in the middle of the teams, with 100 points.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;
