DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Thank you for a wonderful time here in Zukal. I am off to the Isle where I hope
to continue my winning ways. Stillgard wants me to go to Home Guard to prepare
myself for the dangerous Talahya. Farewell Zukal! -- Ardsheal
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZUKAL, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! BLUE MOON had cause to celebrate, after PICASSO got
15 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which,
KWEE ZUN ART was winsome, after beating MERCURY and seeing him lose 8 points. In
ZUKAL, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster,
RECOIL. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging
dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are ZUKAL's warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble eagle
soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of RED FURY, alone and
unchallenged. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, DEVIATION scurried away
from RED FURY. Oh, the shame! If challenges were horses, THROUGH THE WINDOW could
open up a fast food joint! Call 'im brash! Call 'im brassy! Call 'im brave! Call
'im sassy! ODDLY ELEGANT will face THROUGH THE WINDOW, up by 31. Aaaah, just call
'im dead meat. Not to smear a reputation, but PAPERBOYS must be a little surprised,
as THROUGH THE WINDOW blew it when facing ODDLY ELEGANT, 31 points below him.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Do not despair! I
shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I am a little grumpy that I did not get my turn yet. It's Wednesday so I am
mailing it in without results. -- Stillgard
Ardsheal -- We see you now, and we congratulate you! -- Jorja and the Blue Moon
Sting -- If your hatchet bites, maybe you should try smacking it with a rolled up
newspaper? -- The Tall Man
Oddly Elegant -- Well, that WAS an oddly elegant defeat. But I don't need another, I
appreciate it just fine as it stands. -- Wilkerson
Sting -- Yes, you are correct, it bites. I will try the rolled up newsletter if we
meet again, but it seems too... symbolic and non-forceful. Hmm. -- Chantal
Watson -- Have you considered going back to Afghanistan or wherever it was? -- The
Tall Man
Term -- Tcha. -- Picasso
Mercury -- And you wrap up an oh-fer turn for us. Which sounds better than saying
that *I* wrapped it up. -- Rigel Stone
