DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Russi, Russi, Russi! I love the sound of the crowd cheering the Duelmaster. Just
love it! It is hard work being THE ONE. Signing autographs, interviews, appearances,
speeches, but the worst is having to pen a DM Column. But now I have done it. Time for
a nap.
-- Russi, DMII
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ARDIVENT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say
good-bye to CHAMPIONS IV, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
FANDILS stable. FANDILS is no joke as it posted a 3-1-0 week advancing from 2nd
place to 2nd place. GENERATION D seems to have it's eye on the top team spot, and if
they continue having 5-0-0 weeks they may get it! Hey everybody, watch out for
RAWLINGS, who flew up 22 points in the rankings after mashing HAYSTACK like a melon.
Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was HOLE CARD,
who dropped 4 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BARN GHOST.
Well, everybody's pal RUSSI moved hers record to 18-10-1 by defeating VIRGINAL
CONCUBINE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 5 recognition points. 4 out of
5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARDIVENT arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid FANDILS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does
ARDIVENT really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try this one:
FANDILS + Weapons That go Boom = WILD CARDS + Avoid City. Well just about everybody
wants a piece of BARN GHOST, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Challenging down 44 points was BLUFF. Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and
selling 'T.P.: The only way to clean up' pins. Definition of petty: BLUFF bested
PENNY, a mismatch of 44 points.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the ARDIVENT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown
