DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Finally, I have reached the plateau. Duelmaster! Sadly, the demise of Rawlings in
The Mailer led to my ascension. I told him NOT to enter! Men! Macho to the end. And,
it was his end.
Anyway, catch me if you can. Ardivent deserves the best on top.
-- Bernice, DMI
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. My praise to PUPPY SQUAD for their
3-0-1 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of
notice! DORITO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she
skillfully bested NANCY and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, TURIALBA put down BRUCE, causing him to lose 9 points of
recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All
hail THROW THUNDER, Duelmaster of ARDIVENT! No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ARDIVENT. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. PUPPY SQUAD is feared. This much I can say. Apparently
the stalwarts of FANDILS are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board
for their large share of the avoids.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. I must report the passing of NANCY,
veteran of many duels. 9-7-1 final record Hers was not illustrious--but death plays
no favorites. 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!
The girls are as pretty in ARDIVENT as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
