                             Notes from the arena champ.

So, now we have a head case on the throne. Yeah, I'm talkin' about me. H'Tes was 
practically begging to be knocked off the throne. And, the fact that he neglected to 
write a Duelmasters column makes him eminently worthy of being knocked off the throne.  
I don't expect to stay here long either, but due to different reasons. I am rapidly 
approaching the fight experience limit that the Commission deems "too much". I expect 
to get a notice from Lady Greywand in just a couple more turns. Can anyone knock me 
off before then? We'll see. (I am trying to avoid fighting that crooner of amorous 
ballads.  I wouldn't like my odds against him. Good thing Neon has lots of warriors to 
challenge with, to keep him otherwise occupied.)

It's also nice to see the arena growing. There's some really good warriors here now. 
Makes it a pleasant challenge to win arena awards once again.

Until next time, Mordant, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Hardheaded, your Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games.  Fortune did not smile upon CARE LESS 
BEARS this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 16th position in the wake of a 
0-3-0 round.  Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which CHAOS KIDS managed to post 
this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!  RATINTHEKITCHEN 
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BLACK 
DEITY and was awarded 26 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable 
duels, RATINTHEKITCHEN put down BLACK DEITY, causing him to lose 22 points of 
recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster 
HARDHEADED challenged H'TES last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne.  
The city has turned out in honor of H'TES, for with his arena victory he may now lay 
claim to the highest position in the city!  Informants "close" to the city champion 
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out! 
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MORDANT "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  MORDANT, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is DRIFTERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of ARMY OF ONE 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 SINGING GUY LOVE.  Watch your back!  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the 
games this week, it seems that STONECIPHER posted a challenge against the more highly 
recognized BEIGNET.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand STONECIPHER defeated 
BEIGNET.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.  I can not but mention 
with disdain the name of SCALLYWAG who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a 
full 15 points below in the rankings.  I thought SCALLYWAG showed great skill and 
promise when he was beat by DECIMUS PUGIO.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big 
deal!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Let all swords of the city take heed!  By law, CARE LESS BEARS has 
but one remaining week to take their revenge upon H'TES for the slaying of SWEAR 
BEAR.  My hearty congratulations PARZIVAL, for thy revenge upon CALLIOPE, slayer of 
thy fallen comrade.  Next time she will know better, eh?  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?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till next we 
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

IN-law Bear -- My Manager has said we must do the dance again. your Stamina was quite 
impressive. -- PVT. Chair

General Announcement -- Seems that Sage Soldiers must BLOOD FEUD in both DM-1 and DM-
14. Unfortunately we lost a blood feud in each TWO turns ago. Well that has been 
rectified as we disciplined Neon Necromancer's teams in both Arenas. Perhaps Neon's 
comments allowed us to rise to the challenge. Winner, winner, chicken Dinner. -- Sage 
Soldiers

ATE Broke Stroker -- Keep on stroking you will achieve a happy ending. -- PVT. Shoe

Cottenelle -- A true battle between warriors of skill and competence was a lesson to 
all. --  PVT. DoorKnob

Twerk Zone -- Bending over and exposing your back side is no way to win a battle. -- 
SGT. Jeep

The Iron Council has re-opened its guild doors!  All prior members contact Tripwire 
(DM18 or DM36) if you are interested in returning.  Also, if you have contacts for any
