DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The tree army is on the march! Splintermaw leads the ents to battle, defending the
city of Zorpunt from the ravaging hordes. Follow me, fellow Zorpuntians! [Zorpuntites?
Zorpuntinians? Whatever...]
There are also reports of a rampant rat infestation that needs to be beaten back.
Though they may try to attain respectability by adopting fancy sounding names, a rat
is still a rat, nasty, smelly, disease-ridden things. The city will be better off once
they are put in the ground for good.
And, speaking of artists, [wait, was there supposed to be a segue there?] our city
artisans need to graduate from using crayons on their graffiti art. Maybe if we lock
them out in the sun for a spell they will just melt. A puddle of green, purple, brown,
orange, and gold would make for interesting art.
Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- Splintermaw, General and Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ZORPUNT will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as CRAYOLAS is pushed out of top team by TREEBEARD'S ARMY, who came from
3rd with a 3-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for MIRKWOOD, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 8th. The
RAT PAK 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, MORGANITE-RAT fought
GOLD and gained 16 points and contributed to RAT PAK's 3-0-0. GOLD has lost to
MORGANITE-RAT, falling 14 points, while helping make CRAYOLAS a 0-2-0 turn. We
should ask SAPPHIRE-RAT about the thrill of victory, and what being the new
Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dripping Blade?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the TREEBEARD'S
ARMY stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ZORPUNT, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding TREEBEARD'S ARMY more than any other team we find CRAYOLAS.
ZORPUNT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
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. Is it really true that ZORPUNT has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
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
