DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Novgorodny Vir says he can't insult me now, but he has an insulting way of
showing it! I don't know why Naegling didn't fight last time, probably not out of
recognition that I should be the duelmaster in order to best pursue a clean sweep of
the alleys of Mordant. We call it "spring cleaning." There are some very Bad People
and... Things in the alleys of Mordant. No one really knows those alleys the way I
do, and no one CARES about them. Until the Bad Ones come out and start snatching
people off the streets in broad daylight. Let's avoid that this year! Keep me as
duelmaster, and I will keep the alleys under control!
Random Maniac
SPY REPORT
Welcome MORDANT. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great while
it lasts, RUN DMC. But how many friends do you have now? Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! SERPENTS' HOLD
is now ranked 5th with a 0-2-0 turn. What's with SHOTGUN DADDY? He actually beat
MORDANT's GRUNESH THE ORC, and walked away with 8 more points from the fight. Laughs
were big at MORDANT while they watched SILISA THE SNAKE clobber CEREAL KILLER. He
lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Our Duelmaster
has lost, folks, lost to SILISA THE SNAKE, BUT RANDOM MANIAC is still the Duelmaster
because he has the most recognition points! I suppose you want to hear some rumors
and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel.
Warriors of MORDANT unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Hmm, no challenges, no avoids. I tell myself that it was, ah, tourney prep that
caused this slow-down. Prove me right, come back and pitch in to each other! --
Jorja
Just in case anyone wants to know, it would be okay to hand Random Maniac is
fourteenth win and make graduation at least possible for him. We wouldn't take it
personally as an unkindness to the rest of us, because it would actually be a KIND-
ness. We want him gone. -- the rest of the Homicidal Maniacs
P.S. Yeah, people say, "Why don't you go homicidal and kill HIM?" Have they ever
tried? He may not be much of a gladiator, but he's a whiz-dang at street-and-alley
fighting. We tried to explain this to Silisa the Snake, as a prelude to asking her
to let the Maniac win, and she wouldn't listen. In fact, she bit Shotgun Daddy on
the, ah, she bit him where it really hurt. Damned concubines.
Tien-Shu of Genrai -- You got what you deserved. Coming out with that disgustingly
mild smile and no weapons, and talking about, ah, what did you call it? "The taming
power of the small," or something. Piffle. -- Cereal Killer
Hard Times -- Well, of COURSE I "viciously butchered" you. It wasn't intentional, I
admit, but I'm a Homicidal Maniac. That kind of thing is what we DO. -- Black Bonker
S... MC -- Yes, well, I could see you eyeing my daughter, young fellow, and I won't
have it. No one with a name containing three dots is going to get into MY family. --
Shotgun Daddy
Downwiththeking -- What? What king? Where? Why? Who CARES? There are worse
monsters out there than kings, let me tell you, and those are the ones *I* am after.
-- Masked Murderer II
