DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I arrive, Mannequin leaves. I depart, Mannequin returns. Coincidence?!?
I leave this column to Assur as I have to prepare for a night fight which will
likely force me to be shipped to the Isle of the Eye in a box. The good news is that
I am not yet retired, though that day may still come. Some time in the future, I
will fight again in Talahya.
-- Joy
****
Notes from Assur:
Joy had no business graduating in 20 arena fights, but there it is! His faves
are nothing to give me Joy, but I will eventually activate him in DM 100 to find the
rest of his bases. Joy is the reason I prioritized my Mordant team, bonused from +9
to +16. Other than his size (20), he stats are completely mediocre (7-15) and his
current skill levels laughable in spite of learning 2.0 per FE.
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week CLUELESS went 4-1-0 to move up 5 in
the rankings. FLOOD SURFER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
she skillfully bested CAPTAIN ELOY and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, HONESTY put down CKYNST OAF, causing him to lose 4
points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the
spotlight was on UNDEAD WARRIOR as he bore arms against the Dark Arena Challenge of
reigning Duelmaster JOY. The crowds were amazed this turn, as UNDEAD WARRIOR killed
the Duelmaster, JOY, leaving MIGHTY MORALS II in mourning. With bloody hand HONOR
has ascended to the throne of champions. Is he that one which is spoken of in the
ancient texts? No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained
their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in MORDANT these days is HOMICIDAL MANIACS. At least, most blades in
town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of BOOZE 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. CHINA BULL take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in MORDANT.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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

in Mordant and assuming I survive it, I'll be headed to the Dark Arena to test myself
against the beasts. -- Honor
Waelgaest -- No doubts about which of us is the better warrior. As you might expect
from one with my name, I have no hidden secrets and not a single tourney fight to my

Mannequin -- Welcome back to a dark monument of memories, once the gem of the
Delarquan empire, the first modern day arena, now the mostly forgotten city of
Mordant. -- Assur
Random Maniac -- If you ever want to turn your ways around, you may call on me as a
friend. Goodbye. -- Joy
Honor -- I believe we've done this before. Not that this comes as a surprise. --
China Bull
Vermouth -- When you get into the Clumsy Oaf, you make him even clumsier. This is
not a kindness to we who must share quarters with him. -- China Bull

annoyed Random Maniac
Crater Face -- You're so ugly, I wish the floods would sweep you away! -- Flood
