DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Thank you, Lyratilan, for not killing me before I could get to The Isle! Turns out I
have pretty much been using my faves from the start. Well, except for that newly
minted Lunge tactic. Lunging with a scimitar might be a bit awkward, but if it works
for Neon's most famous warrior, I can give it a shot.
So, who is going to inherit the throne upon my departure? I am going to do my best to
make sure it's not Snooks. He annoys me, and not just because his record is one loss
better than mine. He is just getting in the way of my team graduating. A pox upon him!
See you lucky ones on the Isle! Until then, may the gods guide your blows straight and
true!
- Danke, Duelmaster and Lord Protector
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in LYRATILAN, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--SAXON. Those
betting on THE BLUES 25 lost their shirt, as THE BLUES 25 lost their fighting
abilities: 1-4-0. What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask)
Cause for celebration, according to SAXON. MASTERS OF SIN had cause to celebrate,
after PETTY got 29 points by beating CLINT BLACK. Win some, lose some. Speaking of
which, PETTY was winsome, after beating CLINT BLACK and seeing him lose 25 points.
You could cut the tension with a scimitar as SNOOKS EAGLIN of THE BLUES 25 met the
Duelmaster. SNOOKS EAGLIN found out that LYRATILAN isn't a democracy. You've gotta
be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in LYRATILAN is using
psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of WORKING GIRLS should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of WORKING
GIRLS found their efforts at combat frustrated as GONE COUNTRY apparently had more
important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational
abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, PAUL STOCK is the most challenged
warrior. Do my ears deceive me? ROY ROGERS (outclassed by 26 points) challenged
BLACK IS THE NIGHT, in what promises to be a fight.(!) It's not whether you win or
lose, but how many points you get (3). Right, ROY ROGERS?
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Q: What's a record like 6-10-2 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena!
This week's winner: GLUTTEN of MASTERS OF SIN! You've heard about CHANELLE of
WORKING GIRLS. Death plays no favorites, and neither do I. What was a 10-19-1 doing
on the fields in the first place? Questions are being raised about the disposing of
severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in LYRATILAN would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Can
anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for LYRATILAN? On that giddy
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
