DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Why is it the tall warriors on this team (Mrs. Sparklenose (Sz 17) and I (Sz 19) have
such nice records, and all the other pipsqueaks are below 50%????? I guess we also
have a basher above .500, but that's another story.

Open Sesame
3-Time Duelmaster of Snowbound
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of SNOWBOUND! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. In one of the week's more notable
duels, MURRAY MONSTER put down ZTAN LEE, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition
in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster BIG BIRD
challenged MARK last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. Not for
nothing has BIG BIRD in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In SNOWBOUND "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! SNOWBOUND, city of gladiators! Mighty among
the names of thy guilds is OPEN SESAME, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of THE BLUES 50 last week. Busy avoiding OPEN SESAME? Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. BIG JIM take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in SNOWBOUND. I can not but mention with disdain the name of
EDDIE MAPP who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 points below in
the rankings. I thought EDDIE MAPP showed great skill and promise when he was
defeated by SNOW PLOW. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there
is but one reward--death. This past week MARK, at 23-24-0, departed SNOWBOUND
forever. I must report the passing of PRAIRIE DAWN, veteran of many duels. 4-8-0
final record Hers was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. This week's
duel proved deadly to MARK as he fell to the more renowned warrior, BIG BIRD. How
will SIGMA NU'S find revenge? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable
with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in SNOWBOUND. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
