DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Thanks for the throne, Armand! Have fun at the Isle.
Speaking of having fun at the Isle, I must congratulate my esteemed teammate, Cosmic
Citadel, on his recognition by the Lady Greywand. He will, indeed, get the chance to
prove his worth against the best in the land. Here's hoping he brings further glory
(and perhaps another TC...eventually?) to our team and our city!
What else is there to write about arena goings on? Not much, since nobody around here
writes personal ads. And only the occasional throne holder writes a Duelmasters
column. (hint, hint)
I do have to say that Parmesean Cheese, despite not having a grate record, has
certainly performed grate against Neon's guys. Perhaps he is on his way to becoming an
all-time grate for Talcama.
Until next time, Talcama, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- Cosmic Ash, your Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TALCAMA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week SEA DOGS went 4-1-0 to move up 5 in
the rankings. SAFE HAVEN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
she skillfully bested THARIZDUN and was awarded 13 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, SAFE HAVEN put down THARIZDUN, causing him to lose 9
points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of GARION,
for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!
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!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TALCAMA. TALCAMA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is MAD SCIENTISTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding MAD SCIENTISTS. Indeed it was THE EMERALD ISLES. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. VARYS take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in TALCAMA. I can not but mention with disdain the name
of MAD MC SNUGGLES who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points
below in the rankings. I thought MAD MC SNUGGLES showed great skill and promise when
he overcame BARON BARYON. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani
