DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
"On that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the
floodgates of the heavens were opened."
Beware, I warn you. Perhaps the disaster could be water, or fire, or nuclear, or
simply me. Avoid!
-- Floods, multi, multi Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ZENSU? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see NEERLY STENN win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, NEERLY STENN
beat DARKNESS and DARKNESS lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like
ZENSU has some guts at least, FLOODS the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged
warrior. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster HUMPTY DUMPTY challenged this
turn. And if variety is the spice of life, ZENSU may be getting bland, as FLOODS
stays top dog in the city. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ZENSU's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? BEYOND THE PALE was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?
Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was PANDORA'S BOX. Ha ha ha ha!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZENSU's
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in ZENSU to get a drink than The Victory
Tavern! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of ZENSU. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide
