I'm kind of running out of steam writing these Duelmasters columns.  Thought about 
doing more Big Lake jokes, but tbh, not worth the effort. So Javelino, we met again 
and another quick win for me. What's up with you? You seem off your usual game. No 
complaints tho, I'm happy with the win.

How about some arena fight commentary. I really thought I'd get challenged by or 
randomly matched up with, one of the top three warriors. Didn't happen, let's see why. 
Out For A Duck got challenged by The Leper's Hand and Duck got roasted. That leaves 
Spawn's Blue Beer who chose to challenge my teammate Renegade-Rat instead of me. Hmmm, 
interesting. Anyway, Renegade put up a good fight only to lose in 3 minutes to the 
blue one. Let's see how the fights pare up on T-363. Any wagers on what happens? I can 
only say this, I won't challenge again, so take that for what it's worth.

                                   Til next turn, somehow I'm still your Duelmaster

                                    -- Rat Soldier

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hey you guys!

Storm Rock Arena had just ten fights today.  I'd like to thank the valiant Rat Soldier 
for another fine column.  If you're running out of relevant things to say (which 
you're not), just make something up.  That's what I do.  Anyway, Big Lake Solution was 
avoided by Bad Signs.

     SPAWN'S BLUE BEER (83-403) (59-39-0,235) of BAD SIGNS challenged RAT SOLDIER (62-
5152) (61-27-0,406) of RODENTIAN NATION.  SPAWN'S BLUE BEER was devastated by RAT 
SOLDIER in a 1 minute Challenge Title fight.  Rat Soldier is still our Champion of the 
Horn and top Aimed Blow, znc most challenged fighter.
     OUT FOR A DUCK (83-275) (42-73-0,200) of BAD SIGNS challenged MOOSE (56-3459) 
(77-106-0,203) of REDHORSE.  OUT FOR A DUCK was subdued by MOOSE in an exciting 4 
minute gory Challenge melee.  Moose is top Striker, regardless.
     DURN WOLFSNARL (81-3955) (20-16-1,87) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION challenged MOM'S MAD 
(83-698) (20-15-0,75) of BAD SIGNS.  DURN WOLFSNARL was vanquished by MOM'S MAD in a 1 
minute mismatched Challenge brawl.
     MOD COD (55-2638) (447-229-5,233) of RHYME TYME fought RENEGADE-RAT (41-388) (47-
41-3,201) of RAT PAK.  MOD COD overpowered RENEGADE-RAT in a 1 minute one-sided fight.  
So Mod Cod is not only the overall popularity leader but the top Lunger.  And 
Renegade-Rat is the least popular fighter.
     BURM WOLFSNARL (81-113) (105-77-0,213) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS fought HUMMINGBIRD 
(56-3475) (107-122-0,207) of REDHORSE.  BURM WOLFSNARL bested HUMMINGBIRD in a 2 
minute brawl.  Hummingbird is still the top Slasher, while Mr. Wolfsnarl is the best 
Total Parry.
     THE LEPER'S HAND (81-2940) (78-44-1,233) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION fought RAYNER (20-
182) (101-156-3,189) of DEADLINE.  THE LEPER'S HAND viciously subdued RAYNER in a 
crowd pleasing 4 minute brutal fight.  The Leper's Hand was voted this turn's favorite 
fighter, while Rayner is still the best Parry-Riposte
     LAUDINA (81-3658) (51-33-2,225) of MADNESS fought JAVELINO (56-3728) (68-79-
1,199) of REDHORSE.  LAUDINA devastated JAVELINO in an action packed 1 minute one-
sided competition.  Laudina is the top Parry-Lunge.
     BUCK (1-2291) (76-171-0,183) of MOSSRUNNERS fought RINGIL (81-3633) (43-32-2,203) 
of MIRKWOOD ORCS.  BUCK viciously subdued RINGIL in a action packed 7 minute gruesome 
duel.  That was a surprise!  Anyway, Ringil remains our top Wall of Steel.  Buck 
gained 23 points, and wasn't he proud!
     ANDURIL (81-3435) (46-44-1,191) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought VERMICIOUS KNID (107-30) 
(0-0-0,240).  ANDURIL overpowered VERMICIOUS KNID in a popular 3 minute gory uneven 
duel.
     NARSIL (81-3401) (58-42-1,210) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought BROKEN TOE (56-3683) (73-
105-1,164) of REDHORSE.  NARSIL beat BROKEN TOE in a popular 2 minute melee.

That's all I got, it was a pretty boring turn.  See you in fourteen.
