DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Harumph! Birchbite here. When Treebeard called his army to action, a lot of big Ents
answered the call, but none bigger than me! Foom! The Commission tells me that I am as
big as they allow in the arenas. It certainly helps me to hit hard. Whomp! The issue,
sometimes, is hitting at all, since it took 21 fights to achieve Expert in Attack.
But, nowhere to go but up from there, right?
Time will tell how long I remain atop the rankings. I am sure some of you are itching
to chop me down. Let's go!
Until next turn, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- Birchbite, your Duelmaster, and
Tallest Tree in our Gladiatorial Forest
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZORPUNT this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
TREEBEARD'S ARMY is pushed out of top team by FAR TRAVELERS, who came from 2nd with a
3-0-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to
drown for JOYLESS DAYS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 8th. EQUINE
ROCKS stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 4th place. Good work, guys! The FAR TRAVELERS guild has had
a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this
kind of thing can lead. And let's see, BASHBRO-RAT fought THE USEROUS MERCHANT and
gained 10 points and contributed to RAT PAK's 2-2-0. SAPPHIRE-RAT has lost to
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, falling 9 points, while helping make RAT PAK a 2-2-0 turn. We
should ask SKYLA NULL about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster
does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, ZORPUNT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in ZORPUNT, but never good to wear out
my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
