DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, another wannabe falls by the wayside. Free pauldrons all around! If all goes to
plan, I should get my notification from The Lady Greywand this turn. I basically just
need to not die. [Fingers crossed.] I wonder if the Commission will show me favorites
I have been running all along? That would certainly explain why all of you have been
challenged to defeat a warrior as normal as myself.
Seems like tourney anticipation is in the air. Lots of warriors taking turns off,
perhaps timing for the upcoming festivities? I know that Neon has eleven warriors
participating in the tourney from our fair arena. Maybe one of them will bring home
top honors in one of the tourneys. That would reflect well on Mordant.
Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- The Armorer, your Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games. Former top team FANTASIA was unseated
this week as HOT RODS moved up from 7th ranking to take the top spot with a 4-0-0
record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon READY PLAYER ONE this time out who
this turn suffered a fall into 12th position in the wake of a 1-3-0 round.
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
BLACK ARMADA went 3-1-0 to move up 9 in the rankings. My praise to HOT RODS for
their 4-0-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving
of notice! FURIUS PACILUS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested BLACK DEITY and was awarded 30 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, BLACK ATHENA put down DECIMUS PUGIO, causing him to
lose 13 points of recognition in the process. This time out FLYING BUFFALO made his
bid for the throne as he challenged THE ARMORER in an all out contest of skill for
possession of the title! The city has turned out in honor of FLYING BUFFALO, for
with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!
Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without
pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in MORDANT these days is ARMY OF ONE. At least, most blades in town are
looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was
that spent the better part of last week avoiding ARMY OF ONE. Indeed it was BLACK
ARMADA. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. PUNIC SLAVE
take warning! You have more than a few enemies in MORDANT.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in MORDANT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
