DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Surprise?! Me, too. I am only here to cause pain and suffering and demoralization,
like all the other Boxers. Pandora expects it, and we give it -- or else! So it was my
sincere pleasure to make that slug Zippy suffer on his way to The Isle. Good riddance.
May you all engulf gallons of dirty water and bloat yourself to Hades. Bwahahahaha!
-- Flood, DMI
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZENSU games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week OXY MORONS went 3-1-1 to move up 4
in the rankings. NEERLY STENN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission
as he skillfully bested VETERAN MERCENARY and was awarded 21 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, MILITANT PACIFIST put down DOS JONES,
causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most
sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster
FLOODS itself. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster FLOODS
challenged NEW RIFF last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. The city
has turned out in honor of NEW RIFF, for with its arena victory it may now lay claim
to the highest position in the city! No confirmation, but my sources claim that the
top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ZENSU "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this
week's challenge seeking began. DREAMS WORK is feared. This much I can say.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding DREAMS WORK. Indeed it was PANDORA'S BOX.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ZENSU. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
