DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Elmscar smiled as the robin alighted on his branches.
The nest behind his right ear had been started early in the season. He delighted in
watching the bird tuck yet another branch into its intricate structure. Alone in this
far corner of the wood, Elmscar was looking forward to watching the hatchlings as they
grew and took wing, to eventually build nests of their own. But, what was that
rumbling noise in the distance? As he strained to listen, it seemed to grow louder,
reverberating through the entire forest. It had an urgency that Elmscar recognized.
The low but penetrating rumble could only be that of Treebeard. And he sounded angry.
Treebeard was summoning the Ents, calling up his army to do battle. Orcs had invaded
the forest, marching towards the Citadel of Honor. Treebeard would not let them defile
those hallowed halls, so he was mobilizing the Ents to defend the Citadel, to repel
the invaders. Elmscar would be the first to answer the call.
-- Elmscar, your Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZORPUNT this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, BASHBRO-RAT fought THE USEROUS
MERCHANT and gained 20 points and contributed to RAT PAK's 3-1-0. BIRCHBITE has lost
to SKYLA NULL, falling 7 points, while helping make TREEBEARD'S ARMY a 2-2-0 turn.
Well done, ZORPUNT, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps
ELMSCAR is not as thrilled, being challenged 2 times. ULLNAX challenged for the
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone TREEBEARD'S ARMY's warrior. And all
eyes were on ULLNAX this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ZORPUNT
has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped
under the table at The Warty Toad?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. TREEBEARD'S ARMY has cause to stand tall, as
they were ZORPUNT's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And avoiding TREEBEARD'S ARMY more than any other team we find FAR TRAVELERS.
ZORPUNT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZORPUNT and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ZORPUNT again, farewell--
