DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Maximus lifted the flagon to his lips and drained the last dregs of the Harkenian Red
and all that remained of a long line of empty bottles. The Old Grey Wolf who owned the
White Wolves stable had been very generous, donating a number of fine vintages from
his own wine cellar, joining his gladiators in a celebration of Maximus receiving his
invitation to the Isle of the Eye by the Gladiatorial Commission.
His brothers in arms, Attalus, Vicinius, and Morbius, sat with him raising their cups
to their fallen comrades of yesteryear. It is well known that Death is never far away
in the arenas of Alastari. Fame and fortune favour some, but many more end up
forgotten as their life blood drains into the coarse sands and the fickle crowd moves
on to their next favourite.
As a devotee of the Wall of Steel discipline, Maximus had often earned the scorn of
many warriors and the hostility of the spectators, but he did have his supporters and
his victories always ensured that those who wagered on him got good returns for their
gold... even if they bet on him to lose! An 18-31-0 record may not have been
exemplary, but here he was and he had lived long enough to ascend the Duelmaster's
throne after Wayfarer failed to turn up to defend his title.
Maximus was startled from his thoughts by the sound of breaking glass as Spiculus, the
new recruit, walked toward him, kicking each empty wine bottle over and cheering as
each one broke upon the rough ground.
Maximus laughed and said, "You do know the last bottle you smashed was full, don't
you?"
Spiculus replied, "No great loss! Our brothers, the White Maimers, have brought more
but enough wine for you tonight, my friend. One more fight for you to plan. Is there
anyone else in North Fork that you have a score to settle with before you depart for
the Isle?"
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
NORTH FORK brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, CHEERS, since SNOW
FORT took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up, BAD
GAS, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 7 in the rankings?
LAND OF OZ turned their 3-1-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn.
Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-0-0 is
nice, but don't get cocky, THE PURGE 209, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are
proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see IRON HEART win a fight and
gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, IRON HEART beat PENNY STOCKS and PENNY STOCKS
lost 18 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend
the throne, REAL MCCOY has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm
earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as YETI takes the Title and
last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes,
kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?
Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? BIG LAKE MAULERS 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 LAND
OF OZ. Ha ha ha ha! LISSELI was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Now here's guts and
stupidity all rolled into one, DEMETRIUS challenged up 28 to take on SHPONGLE of PSY
CORPS. And sure, DEMETRIUS lost alright, but gained 2 recognition for his pains.
And pains they may indeed be! I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one,
but QUEEN OF SHEBA has challenged up by 31 in an attempt against SNAPDRAGON. My
sides still hurt from laughing about SNAPDRAGON losing and giving QUEEN OF SHEBA 18
points of recognition. Ha ha ha ha!! BLACK LOTUS was challenged by one of ROYAL
FLUSH's warriors this turn, with JACK NICHOLSON having a lead of 19 points going into
the fight. This is the sort of thing that makes the price of admission to NORTH
FORK's games worth it! JACK NICHOLSON was defeated by BLACK LOTUS!! And we have
KING MIDAS in a challenge, going down 10 points for the fight. Guess what? I
thought KING MIDAS showed great skill and promise when he won victory over KERROM.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Gee, WEIRD ALCHEMY, ain't it past due for sending
OLAF Dark Arena? What took ol' '10-8-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! Honor is
like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will
doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the NORTH FORK arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
