DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey, you expect me to write a fourth column?! Come on now; I have leaks to fix and
food to prepare. Have an ale on me. OK? Besides, Sum Yum wore me out. I need a nap.

SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of JHELUM! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! JHELUM watched with
glee as UTOPIA RELIGIOSO got knocked off top spot by POTTERY WORLD! Hmmmph! I
always thought THE REPLACEMENTS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a
1-0-0! What's with TRUST FALL? It actually beat TANKS FOR NOTHIN''s PANZER IV, and
walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Major screwup at TRIBAL COUNCIL.
POLAR BEAR lost 13 points to STRAR. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe POLAR BEAR
will provide more easy wins... Apparently JHELUM isn't filled with as many gutless
wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 3 challenges this turn! UTOPIA
RELIGIOSO's hatred of POTTERY WORLD surfaced again as PILLAR OF CREATION TV
challenged JHELUM's top dog. I'm sure JHELUM is excited about PILLAR OF CREATION,
the new Duelmaster from UTOPIA RELIGIOSO. (remember?) But when you've seen as many
as I have... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was UTOPIA RELIGIOSO. In my day, no team with a 231-170-2 would scare me off!
What's the problem, POTTERY WORLD?
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every
day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--

Tanks, you cretins! Poor ole Lumos was not a very enlightened 11-12-12-12-10-6-21
Aimer, but he was a Potter. Now, you zapped him and we have to hope for a
Griffindorish recruit. Egads! -- Us Pottery Worlders
Sum Yums are yummy. -- Leaky Cauldron
Ark, I guess I have to say turnabout is fair play. Phbbbbbt! -- Longbottom
Health. Humility. Honor. Hogwarts forever. -- The Pottery World Gang
Tiger II moves into retirement after this turn, to perhaps show up from time to time
in a story, but otherwise done. TP started 11-15-9-13-17-4-15 and leaves 13-17-9-13-
18-4-15 with 65 skills learned Master in Parry, AD Exper in Defense and Experts in
Attack and Decisiveness. +4 in Defense, but everything else seems to be middle of the
road including Normal Damage. SH favorite, VL/LO for those who track these things and
a Decise favorite learn (I had guessed Attack.) Tiger II came from my early
experiments with TPs which included keeping the ST low in order to have more points
for DF. Not a bad idea, but not spectacular either as it didn't take into account the
effect on END ratings. Agent Orange will be glad to see Tiger II move on as they have
met 7 times and AO has only won 1 of those fights. -- Master Beru
Also, apologies for the quietness on my end. Life has been busy and by the time I'm in
for the evening I tend to forget to throw some ads together. No commitments to do
better at the moment, just acknowledgement that there is room for improvement. --
