DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, all of that practice for the Grand Tournament actually paid off. My record in
the Champions tourney was 8-3-0, good enough for Tournament Victor status. That makes
a pair, to go along with my Initiates TV a while back. Hopefully there are more in my
future.
Of course, my performance also garnered some "unwanted" attention. By winning this TV
status, I was noticed by the Lady Greywand, and she invited me to join the immortals
on the Isle of the Eye. That makes me the first warrior managed by The Neon
Necromancer to get an "early" invite. Early, you say? Yeah. I do not meet the "normal"
induction criteria of 20 arena fights, 14 wins, multiple Expert ratings, 17+ political
points (although, the last two parts, I have in spades). No matter. Immortality was
the goal all along, and now I have that. So, I will be seeing you all on the Isle (or
not at all...)
Until that day, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- Pillar of Creation, Duelmaster and Lord Protector
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JHELUM, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! CLASSIC BLUES? Who? TANKS FOR NOTHIN' is the top
team these days, buddies! Practice pays for MIRE OF DOUBT, who pummelled LEAD
BALLOON, to pocket 20 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 14 points to BROKE BLOKE. (Discrete enough, SKIP JAMES?)
Duelmaster PILLAR OF CREATION from UTOPIA RELIGIOSO is going for the gold, as he TV
challenged TANKS FOR NOTHIN''s TRAINING TANK. Ooh, the excitement! In JHELUM,
nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, TRAINING
TANK. Word has it one team in JHELUM is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a
charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in THE
KILLING HIVE are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, TANKS FOR NOTHIN' scurried away from THE KILLING
HIVE. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good
oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SHATTERBOW is the most challenged warrior. Word has
it LIL GREEN suffered a romantic setback. Note how she challenged CONQUEROR, 28
points hers senior. Fixed fights? Paybacks? Blind luck? Whatever, LIL GREEN
challenged CONQUEROR, LIL GREEN the underdog by 28 points.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Justice was
served as JESSE FULLER fought SHATTERBOW in bloodfeud. Well done, CLASSIC BLUES!
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for JHELUM? On that
giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
