DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly IAYE games. Former top team LENPROS was unseated this
week as THE YOUNG ONES moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-0
record for the round. AUNT SADIE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested TRY ME and was awarded 20 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, AUNT SADIE put down TRY ME, causing him to
lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has CALAMITY JANE in
the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers
combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he
never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. IAYE, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is LENPROS, 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 LENPROS. Indeed it was HARD KNOCKS. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. NEAL take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in IAYE. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that MARY CATHERINE posted a challenge against the more
highly recognized NEAL. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand MARY CATHERINE
defeated NEAL. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in IAYE. 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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The
wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

Yikes, the new recruit for Snuffy didn't last long as the Orc of Ozboz put him to the
coffin in Frenchie's very first fight! Bad Orc! Frenchie wasn't optimal, but had
opportunity as a 17-6-14-15-9-16-7 Basher. R.I.P. Frenchie. -- Lenpro
Note: Frenchie (Bill Lemaire) was my high school friend and sports teammate and
college roomie. He later became a magazine publisher of note.)
Mr. Bigfoot, thanks for your kind words. (And welcome back after all those years.) --
Lenpro
Congrats to Calamity Jane, Duelmistress of Iaye. -- Lenpro
Health. Humility. Honor. The sands of Iaye await us all. -- Lenpro
All -- Krieghund the Basher, 11-7-15-15-15-8-13. He graduated from Iaye with master
ratings in initiative and attack, advanced expert in decisivenese. +2 in initiative,
mode everywhere else. He favors the maul (never tried it), very high offensive effort
and low activity level. With great damage and favorite offensive effort in minute one
strategy, wins and kills racked up nicely (one in five arena victories were kills).
Kriegund is the last of my original team of five from OrcCon 2025. Now, may luck be a
lady with my replacement. -- Bobby Bigfoot, mgr (School of) Hard Knocks
