So let's barrel along with the next round of match-ups. This time around it's the lightning round as we slash and burn our way through this plateau. In the first level, we got a sense of what each story was so I won't really be synopsizing the plots on this go-round. I'll be getting into more detail in the rounds to come.

OK, so first I posted this on the Jelly Baby post but I think I deleted it and it should only show up here now. But it probably won't. Anyway... Yes, this is the second round of the tournament and you can call them divisions, sections, or whatever. I prefer to call them the north, east, south, and west hy'news boddy (how was that spelled?)
