DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
One again, the Black Bulldogs were the architects of an outstanding turn. (See what I
did there?) Second turn in a row with six arena awards. I don't know how The
Commission stays in business, letting a third of the arena fight for free every turn.
Well, as long as we are the beneficiaries, we're not going to complain. We anticipate
that our fifth teammate will join us after he kicks off his fighting career in the
upcoming tournament. He has high standards to meet. After all, I managed to go 13-3 in
my first action on the sands. Let's see how Dreadstar does.
And with that, I am back to training. See you next cycle, Kaltos. May the gods guide
your blows straight and true!
-- Black Architect, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Welcome KALTOS. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... NINETY-THREE showed KALTOS
what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 5-0-0.
What's with CIMMOURDAIN? He actually beat KALTOS' DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, and walked
away with 21 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at OF WOLF & GNOLL while
they watched ELDOG clobber MORDRAK. He lost 7 points and got bruised from objects
thrown from the stands. M. CHARDINEE was reminded on the sands why BLACK ARCHITECT
is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... KALTOS thinks OF WOLF &
GNOLL and their 13-16-0 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The
bums at NINETY-THREE couldn't face the challenges from OF WOLF & GNOLL! No excuse
for that! What do people see in ELDOG? His 8-8-0? OF WOLF & GNOLL ain't talkin',
but he's got 69 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a good
fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
