DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Watch out! There's a Heavyweight on the throne. I guess that makes me the heavyweight
champion of Malcorn. [Hmmm...Malcorn. If the prefix "mal" means "bad", does that make
this the arena of bad corn? What, they ran out of butter?]
Not much to write about these days. Fare thee well, arena of bad corn. And, may the
gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- Heavyweight, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MALCORN games. Former top team TOURNAMENT BLUES 15
was unseated this week as NEON JOCKS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-1-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon TOURNAMENT BLUES 15
this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 5th position in the wake of a 0-0-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week WRATHMEN 25-26 went 1-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. Did only my eyes
note the 3-1-0 record which NEON JOCKS managed to post this round? I don't doubt
that such a record will draw challengers! BIG PUP caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PITA PITA PA and was awarded 18
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, YOUR EX-WIFE put
down WASTED TIME, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. The
city has turned out in honor of SWEET GYPSY, for with hers arena victory she may now
lay claim to the highest position in the city! Would you believe that over half of
the old women in MALCORN seem to feel that they could fight better than you
gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. MALCORN, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is WRATHMEN 25-26, a guild shunned and avoided
by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of NEON JOCKS are catching the
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. DANCING TROLL take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in MALCORN. At the gambling halls I have
started to bet money on PINCH HITTER. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his
challenge this turn against DANCING TROLL! I must admit to some joy. Before my very
eyes the underdog in this contest, PINCH HITTER, defeated DANCING TROLL to claim
victory and recognition.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in MALCORN. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
