DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Sorry for the unusual silence. While I didn't participate, the tournament DID
distract me. I took a trip to spectate in between cycles. What a great show!
I was so inspired, that I'm going to try my hand at this tournament thing this
summer. Starting this turn, I'll be sitting out until the turn before the Face-to-
Face. If all goes as planned, my 20th arena fight will trigger my graduation, and
I'll get to participate as an immortal Adept. I know, pretty clever. It'll be nice
to be able to fight and not worry about dying, you know? Because some of those
tournament guys look positively scary.
Welcome to the Miscreantz and welcome back to the Hot Sauce guys. Have no fear,
the rest of my team will continue fighting, so you'll have some company.
Steamed Muscles
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly LIN TIRIAN games. SILVER SLIM caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GREEN GIANT and was awarded 21
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KNUCKLE SANDWICH put
down THE MONGOOSE, causing him to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Due
to his absence and inability to defend the throne, STEAMED MUSCLES has lost the title
of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of URIK DARKHEART, for with his
arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Would you
believe that over half of the old women in LIN TIRIAN seem to feel that they could
fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In LIN TIRIAN "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen
men cut down in their prime. This week SHEWISH BUFFET must mourn the loss of 12-7-0
GREEN GIANT to SAND DANCERS. 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? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Steamed Muscles -- Of course it would be you. (mutter grumble complain mutter curse
grumble gripe) Actually, not all that bad, although I would have taken some skills
from you and maybe even said, "Thanks." No skills, no thanks. -- Urik Darkheart
Rice & Beans -- I thought those were supposed to balance each other in effect. Must
have gotten the proportions wrong. Hmm. I'll need to experiment. Or YOU will need
to experiment, since I'm not really "keen" on beans. Rice is... okay. -- Silver Slim
Rib Iaye -- What? All I did was ask for some barbecue sauce to go with it! Where'd
the "vicious" come from? -- Rock Hardman
The Ambitious Guard is a VERY BIG snake. -- The Mongoose, not experienced enough for
that one
The Osksi Noble is a HALF-ELF. Abomination! -- Vera Teague
