DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Riztab!
First I need to say two things to Sweet Magic. First I'm very, very, very sorry
about Kissa Belle. It all happened so fast, I didn't mean it, really! Secondly,
please, please, please call off the Ghost of Kissa Belle! Seriously, Sleepy is going
to have to get a restraining order or something. While the arenamaster didn't see
it, Sleepy did and he didn't appreciate her assisting with the deaths of both
Empedocles and Euripedes in the tourney. Then their replacement have a combined 7 WT
(yes 3 & 4). Enough!!!
I would have appologized last turn, but Sleepy had me running wind sprints 'til
my vision was blurry as punishment for my error in the fight with Kissa Belle. He
appreciated how she fought the right way and was not happy!
Hope the rest of Riztab had a better showing at the tourney.
No challenges from the throne this turn.
Sleep well Riztab!
Sophocles
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RIZTAB! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ACE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ANGRY ROSETTA and was awarded 19
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ASPASIA put down
GAYLENE VOLLAS, causing her to lose 13 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has SOPHOCLES in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned that if
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or
7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In RIZTAB "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Fishmonger didn't survive the tourney. 9-11-6-21-20-10-7 LU. He will be
missed. -- One Armed Bandit and the Sea Dogs
Ace -- If you think I'm somehow going all soft and syrupy on you because you're a
pipsqueak of a man, you can think again. We, meaning probably the whole of the Sweet
Magic team, are OFF men for a good long while, maybe DAYS or even WEEKS because of
what happened to our teammates. -- Dora Bell
And Zaggy the Claw won't get any fresh hot bearclaws out of me, either! The very
idea. -- Donnamira
P.S. Although if someone could hand him a bear with claws intact and a bad temper,
that wouldn't bother me in the least.
Deuce -- Ah, you're number two and you try harder? You'll need to try a lot harder,
child. -- Gaylene Vollas
