A Quiet Goodbye Kolact, This will be my last time writing to you from the Duelmaster's chair. The fight was quick-faster than I expected. Ruby came in strong, fast on her feet. I struck once, and that was enough. No glory in that. Just a clean end to a clean fight. Afterward, I received the summons. The Isle of the Eye has called me forward, and I will go. I didn't come here to conquer. I came to test myself, to honor my father, and to find my own path in the sand. I never expected to hold the Runesword, much less to defend it. But Kolact gave me the chance, and I gave it everything I had. To the warriors still fighting here-fight hard, but fight fair. Respect your opponents. Respect the blade. That's how we make the sands sacred. To the War Hawks-thank you for standing with me. You Are family. To my father, X the Bold-I'm ready now. Until we meet again, -- Treirus, Duelmaster of Kolact Son of X War Hawk Forever SPY REPORT Welcome KOLACT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! WAR HAWKS were a bunch of dogs after PRAETORIAN GUARD got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Welcome to KOLACT, BRAIN SALAD SURGERY! We need more teams who can get a 5-0-0 their first time out! What's with BREUSE SANS PITE? He actually beat WAR HAWKS' LUCINCH, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight. Major screwup at NEON DIAMONDS. CAMPY lost 11 points to JOBY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe CAMPY will provide more easy wins... KOLACT has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He challenged NEON DIAMONDS' FLYING DUTCHMAN (19-10-1), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as he might, FLYING DUTCHMAN wasn't good enough at persuading TREIRUS to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, PRAETORIAN GUARD! The bums at ORDO HERETICUS couldn't face the challenges from PRAETORIAN GUARD! No excuse for that! What do people see in LUCINCH? His 18-26-0? WAR HAWKS ain't talkin', but he's got 80 points. Maybe PRAETORIAN GUARD's MOLDAVIUS is one of those guys who likes pain, or something. That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 29 to DYNOMYTE. MOLDAVIUS did pretty good last week in beating DYNOMYTE to get 28 points. Why did DYNOMYTE lose, you ask? Simple: he wasn't good enough. Warriors of KOLACT unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CATFISH 7639 11 1 0 112 NEON DIAMONDS (661) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RUBY 7659 13 7 2 97 THE RAZOR'S EDGE (246) BREUSE SANS PITE 7640 9 3 0 93 ROGUES GALLERY (226) FLYING DUTCHMAN 7642 19 10 1 92 NEON DIAMONDS (661) ARTEMIS 7657 13 7 0 91 THE RAZOR'S EDGE (246) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LUCINCH 5380 18 26 0 80 WAR HAWKS (11) INQ GREYFAX 7398 8 0 0 78 ORDO HERETICUS (641) AJAX 7660 9 11 1 77 THE RAZOR'S EDGE (246) MILADY DE WINTER 7665 5 1 0 74 ROGUES GALLERY (226) SELENA 7020 12 34 0 70 THE MOONDOGS (97) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MOLDAVIUS 5672 6 2 0 63 PRAETORIAN GUARD (6) KAIZAR 5459 12 5 0 61 PRAETORIAN GUARD (6) COG 7575 8 6 1 57 WAR HAWKS (11) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HARLUNE 7475 15 8 1 56 WAR HAWKS (11) ATTIS 7565 9 6 1 51 WAR HAWKS (11) BIG ROCK 7076 5 35 0 50 THE MOONDOGS (97) POLYXENA 7663 8 11 1 45 THE RAZOR'S EDGE (246) DYNOMYTE 7684 9 6 0 41 THE RAZOR'S EDGE (246) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOBY 881 5 2 0 33 RIPPERS (32) CASSIUS VARUS 7721 3 2 0 32 PRAETORIAN GUARD (6) ECLIPSE 7695 4 11 0 27 THE MOONDOGS (97) REVOLUTION 7668 3 0 0 24 FIREPOWER (663) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAINKILLER 7669 2 1 0 20 FIREPOWER (663) VALERIA VINDEX 7748 2 0 0 18 PRAETORIAN GUARD (6) CAMPY 7709 4 3 0 15 NEON DIAMONDS (661) MORIARTY 7714 2 1 0 15 ROGUES GALLERY (226) INQ TUE 7765 1 0 0 15 ORDO HERETICUS (641) FARAWAY LAUGHTER 7745 1 0 0 13 BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (669) INQ ABRAM FEX 7401 1 2 1 12 ORDO HERETICUS (641) FEED YOUR HEAD 7746 1 0 0 12 BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (669) CHASING ALICE 7744 1 0 0 11 BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (669) MIGHTY MITE 7733 1 1 0 11 NEON DIAMONDS (661) LINE AFTER LINE 7743 1 0 0 10 BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (669) CRUEL LAMP 7652 1 2 0 9 COVEY II (662) SLICK2 7752 1 1 0 8 RIPPERS (32) DEATH IS FREE 7747 1 0 0 7 BRAIN SALAD SURGERY (669) GOODY ONESHOE 7753 1 1 0 4 RIPPERS (32) IGNUS FERRUM 7735 0 3 0 3 PRAETORIAN GUARD (6) SLAPPY 7696 0 1 0 1 COVEY II (662) SAVANT YX 7764 0 1 0 1 ORDO HERETICUS (641) CHOPPY 7697 0 1 0 1 COVEY II (662) THE CRUCIBLE 7766 0 1 0 1 FIREPOWER (663) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Very surprised on Beary Gibb. -- Toad To the Worthy: Meet Valeria Vindex-Valiant Champion, Worthy Avenger. She entered the arena and dismantled Toid, a well-meaning Basher who never stood a chance against her strength and precision. A strong defender, a bold attacker, and now a proud member of Praetorian Guard. She joins us as a rightful heir to the place once meant for Excidium-our intended killer, a brutal beast... who fell shamefully in his first outing. Slain by a miserable Total Parry scum in minute 15. A disgraceful end we shall not soon forget, nor forgive. But where one fell, another rose. Cassius Varus, stoic and unshaken, defeated Inquisitor Abram Fex and will continue crushing those who stand in our way until Excidium's blood is answered. Watch closely. Praetorian Guard is rising-young, hungry, and bound by honor. Alongside our brothers-in-arms, the War Hawks, we will claim Kolact as our own. -- Moldavius, New Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Bearer of the Honor Octavian Left Behind LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SLUGGO was viciously butchered by STONE GOLEM in a 3 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
