DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well what do you know... It finally happened! Someone of the PR style is going to ADM
for Master Beru. He had begun to question whether it could be done.
And in other news, Conqueror gets an invite as well. I'm told this is probably the
first time Master Beru has had two warriors on the same team get invited on the same
turn. Kind of a nifty milestone.
Well, I'm not challenging anyone, so come and get me boys (or girls or undetermineds).
As for me, I'll have my final fight here and then see what life is like on the Isle. I
entered and exited the Regular arena at 11-15-12-15-10-10-11 having never attempted to
train a stat. I averaged 2.7 skills learned per fight, and move to ADM having already
maxxed RIPOSTE (Master) and earning AD Experts in PARRY and INIT and an Expert in
ATTACK. I'm +4 to END and +2 to INIT and overall -1 to ATTACK (ambi but apparently -2
as well.) As Master's Beru's first PR, I have a strong chance of fighting for quite a
while in his hopes of eventually fielding a team for the King of Primus competition.
Conqueror enters retirement after this week's fight. 16(1)-12(2)-10-11-17-14-7 BA who
does GOOD Damage, has GREAT END (+4 bonused), and no other blessings or cursing
noticed. All three trains were to get better ENC in hopes that it would improve his
performance (shmaybe it helped, shmaybe it didn't.) He learned 45 skills in his career
and ends with Ad Experts in ATTACK and DECISE and an Expert in INIT. Got MS as a
favorite weapon.
For all you little warriors, keep dreaming and you too can possibly sit on this throne
at some point... Assuming someone doesn't put a spear through your spine.

Panzer IV
SPY REPORT
Hello to you all.
This is the report for turn 1047 of Jhelum Arena. First off, many thanks to
Panzer IV for a good column, and congratulations on your invitation to the Isle. I've
been there as a tourist but it would be a lot different, I'm sure, as a Lord
Protector. Let's see... just one person died this turn, and it was a pickpocket
caught a month ago at the summer fair. But on turn 1044, Vapor Trail was slain by
Carro Leggero. A bloodfeud was attempted this turn but it didn't work out. MARATHON
(4-7972) (6-4-1,23) of CARESS OF STEEL! bloodfeuded CARRO LEGGERO (4-7904) (8-26-3,58)
of TANKS FOR NOTHIN'. MARATHON was demolished by CARRO LEGGERO in a 3 minute one-
sided Bloodfeud melee. At least Marathon wasn't killed by the far more experienced
Carro Leggero. And there's just one more chance of a bloodfeud.
One of our warriors survived the Dark Arena! POLAR BEAR (4-7820) (24-26-1,105)
of TRIBAL COUNCIL DA challenged SHEWISH GIANT (4-601) (0-0-0,55) of DARK ARENA. POLAR
BEAR butchered SHEWISH GIANT in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Dark Arena fight. Well
done! But Polar Bear got on a coach bound for the Isle, along with Panzer IV and
Conqueror, which is a good thing. I've heard of warriors who killed but were never
successfully bloodfeuded getting attacked in alleys by hired thugs, such as the
Shewish Giant, who may be in a particularly bad mood after getting killed today. The
DA team members get resurrected, you know.
I guess Tanks for Nothin' avoided Tribal Council. They should have avoided
Classic Blues. Look at these fights:
JESSE FULLER (4-7802) (17-14-1,107) of CLASSIC BLUES challenged CONQUEROR (4-
7907) (14-17-0,98) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN'. JESSE FULLER devastated CONQUEROR in a 1
minute gory one-sided Challenge contest.
WALTER DAVIS (4-7922) (15-10-0,91) of CLASSIC BLUES challenged PANZER IV (4-7847)
(21-24-2,119) of TANKS FOR NOTHIN'. WALTER DAVIS savagely defeated PANZER IV in a 2
minute Challenge Title competition. So we've got a new Duelmaster now. On the Isle,
a lot of Duelmasters are called Champion of the Horn. Although Mr. Davis is more of a
pianist and singer, and it would be hard to haul a piano up there into the stands so
he could play on it to open the games.
Pain Train had a good turn. Just one guy fought, but he did win. SMOKE (4-7769)
(2-1-0,33) of PAIN TRAIN fought CINDERELLA MAN (4-7973) (5-5-0,20) of CARESS OF
STEEL!. SMOKE handily defeated CINDERELLA MAN in a 1 minute mismatched bout.
The Killing Hive had a 3-1-0 and moved up in the team rankings. TRUST FALL (4-
7887) (11-2-1,115) of SILLY YUPPIE! fought BARBAX (4-7891) (20-6-0,95) of THE KILLING
HIVE. TRUST FALL was savagely defeated by BARBAX in a 7 minute master's match.
Barbax got 14 points for this.
Am I remembering rightly that Lead Balloon is often the most challenged fighter?
He certainly was this turn. ALBERT COLLINS (4-7917) (14-12-1,81) of CLASSIC BLUES
challenged LEAD BALLOON (4-7742) (3-70-0,79) of DOGS OF WAR. ALBERT COLLINS
devastated LEAD BALLOON in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge match. Oh, right. I
forgot that 3-70-0 record.
Here's somebody to watch. SHATTERBOW (4-7772) (16-11-1,96) of THE KILLING HIVE
fought EDGAR (4-7838) (21-27-0,90) of DOGS OF WAR. SHATTERBOW savagely defeated EDGAR
in a popular 3 minute gory expert's match. Shatterbow is the overall popularity
leader and I gotta say, he's hot.
That's all for now, I'm meeting Mom for dinner. Have a good two weeks.
