DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
One more fight! May I go out with a win, rather than on a silent bloody stretcher.
Life in the arena is tough, and the Neon lights are lit and looming. Back to practice;
I must be prepared.
-- Kokomo, DMVII
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team DIAMOND LINGO was unseated
this week as MI CASA moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0
record for the round. My praise to WELLSVILLE for their 3-0-0 week this time out.
Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! BOAGRIUS caught the
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BACH THAO and was
awarded 25 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BIG BUDDY
DOYLE put down NACHI, causing it to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.
Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster KOKOMO challenged LADDER last
week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. Although LADDER made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious KOKOMO. Heed this! A
seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall
perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. DIAMOND LINGO is feared. This
much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of MI CASA are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after GOLDEN SOMBRERO. Watch your back! As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of
fear lays hold of his heart. True, PICKENS? Who could miss your "brave" challenge
of DAMASCUS? All the city knows the duel went in favor of PICKENS. I shall not fail
to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory. I cannot but express
pride for the fearlessness of CREVE COEUR who cast caution to the winds and
challenged GOLDEN SOMBRERO, a fighter 30 points higher. 5 points of newly earned
recognition and a dose of my admiration is what CREVE COEUR must now weigh against
the defeat which resulted.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Many townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that after one
more round of duels FURRY FURY's Bloodfeud against DEAD RED will have expired. Dark
alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the
brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani
