DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am leaving after this turn. I would lie if I said I was not sad about this new
career trajectory. I mean, look at all the TPs in the upper ranks! Who would not want
to stick around and turn life into living hells for each of them every 28 days? Oh
well! The Commission has decreed that I must go to the Isle, so off I will trot after
fighting again today.
Darque said there is nothing particularly extraordinary about me. I just lucked into
an arena loaded to the hilt with scum-types. 8-12-12-17-10-8-17 N/G. Except for the
slight bonus to Endurance, everything is mode. The Commission says I like a MO/MO
rhythm with the LS as a favorite weapon. I had no opinion on the weapon, I used SH
most of my career and did well with it. They say I also like the Lunge tactic, which
is a nice pairing with the LS, and that I like to learn Decise skills. I wasn't sure
about the learning either since most of my skills were running parallel with one
another.
I've challenged the TPs at the top in hopes that Tyr can hold out and take the throne.
We will see if these "plans" can turn into something positive. It usually just turns
into absolute trash! Enjoy Telorinthe and continue the fight!

SPY REPORT
Hello, hello, hello, arena friends! It's your sparkly scout of swordplay, Ori
Starbloom, back again to tell you all about the excitement from Turn 233 in beautiful
Telorinthe! Oh my goodness, what a turn! I could hardly sit still in the stands! Let's
dive right in!
So first up--drumroll, please--the title changed hands! That's right! Tyr of Sorcerer
Kings is now our brand-new Duelmaster! Eeeeee! He faced off against Ride or Die of
Riff-Raff Crew and came out victorious in a super intense battle that had the whole
crowd on their feet. Tyr is now sitting at 15-6 and just shining at the top of the
rankings. Yay, Tyr!
Now, guess who everyone's afraid of? It's the Riff-Raff Crew! They were the most
avoided team this turn. Ooooh mysterious! And the ones doing the avoiding? Bad Signs!
I don't blame them--it's always a smart move to know your limits, but maybe next time
they'll be brave and go for it! And speaking of being in the spotlight, the most
challenged warrior this turn was none other than 0-2 Count of Bad Signs! Even though
he didn't manage to dethrone the then-Duelmaster Viva Lexa in their challenge match,
he put up a great fight. Way to go!
Oh, and we can't forget a special farewell to Viva Lexa of Sorcerer Kings! After a
strong run, she's headed off to the Isle to join the legends! Good luck out there,
Viva! We'll miss you bunches, but we're cheering for you from here!
Alright, now here comes my favorite part--my happy little rallying cry! If you're out
there with a dream and a warrior in mind, then what are you waiting for?! Telorinthe
needs new teams, fresh faces, and more thrilling battles. So sharpen those blades,
dust off your armor, and come join the fun!
That's all from me for now! Until next time, keep smiling, keep training, and don't
forget: Life's better in the arena!
Hugs and hurrahs, Ori Starbloom
