DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Make that 5 for all the Rawlings lovers. I am enjoying this last run, and hopefully I
will be heading to The Isle shortly after the Mailer. Good luck to all.
-- Rawlings DMV
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ARDIVENT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for KAREN, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing
VISITING ORC like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't
pay to walk out on the sands. STUDEBAKER lost to CHAD and drops 9 points. It's a
proud day for the FANDILS stable, as their warrior, BERNICE, ascended the
Duelmaster's throne. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps
T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad BLUVALLEY WARRIORS? Big bad BLUVALLEY WARRIORS. Big bad BLUVALLEY
WARRIORS. ARDIVENT's afraid of the big bad BLUVALLEY WARRIORS. Tra la la la la!
And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause FANDILS beats feet
every time BLUVALLEY WARRIORS smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and I'm sure you
enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be
leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Haystack, I'm having fun. Are you? -- Rawlings
M. Chardinee and Veteran Merc, we thank you for the tune up. (Both in the arena and at
the "after-party") -- Penny and Bernice
Chad, it was your turn to be the Volkswagon. (wink) -- Studebaker
Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands of Ardivent await us all. -- Fandil the Wise
Studebaker -- You're awesome. I seemed to have no defense against you. -- Chad
Ruthless Jaywalker -- It was interesting to fight someone using the same weapon as I
was. But you're much better with it than I am. -- Nancy
Hey, I fought the Ruthless Jaywalker, too. Tough guy. -- Karen
I really didn't want to fight the Honest Merchant. Why would an honest merchant be a
stand-in, anyway? Maybe he tries to sell something that nobody wants, like aged milk,
and had to take a second job in the arena? -- Timothy
