DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
More rain has fallen, We near the Halloween tournament. Have you bought your gifts for
the children that come to your home? Fear the home of weather for we have fire, wind,
and rain. Lighting strikes again and let's describe the fight that allowed me to
retain this glorious throne. Midnight Muffin, please allow me to describe the fight in
detail.
Midnight Muffin leaps towards me brandishing a weapon. I say, "No no, put that away."
Then Midnight Muffin decides to get froggy. I grab his arm as he thrusts it forward
and smack him in the face with his fist, yelling, "Stop hitting yourself!" Oh yes, it
was glorious. "Stop Hitting yourself." "Come on, stop hitting yourself." "Seriously,
stop hitting yourself!" "Ok sit down and cry. Big baby."
I have one final thing to say: "Stop hitting yourself."
-- Summer Rain
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at WHILST I
CHATZY's guildhouse after a 0-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
10th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week NIGHTSTORMERS went 1-0-0 to move up 5 in the rankings.
BIG MOOSE WALKER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested BEATRICE and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, TROUBLES put down DEAN MARTIN, causing him to lose 10
points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the
spotlight was on LAWNMOWER MAN as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning
Duelmaster SUMMER RAIN. Not for nothing has SUMMER RAIN in the past laid claim to
the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed
this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city
shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city DAL SHANG. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in DAL SHANG
these days is TOURNAMENT BLUES 65. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of PETS are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. DEAN MARTIN take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in DAL SHANG.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Since Summer rain is duelmaster once again I figured I would enter the personal
ads to give a Weather report. Weather is a Unique team. A team that goes with the
flow. My Prediction is we are about to enter the eye of the storm. It will not be
darkness that is feared it will be the eclipse when the eye hits the shore. Buy a
strong Umbrella. -- Weather Man
