                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Four out of ten of our fights were with managed warriors, and the rest were
standbys.  And a six-four turn for Jorja's teams, with five of the six wins over
standbys.  Not impressive, really.  I repeat--Jorja will back me up on this--that if
you want the Low Road to shut down, we will do it.  Roads are often shut down at this
season.  The snow, you know.  But you have to actually write a personal to say so.
     Captain Eloy was... unsatisfying.  His eyes are too close together.  Who could
trust a man whose eyes are too close together?

                                  Allana Lorimer

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to MORDANT once again!  What's with ROT GUT?  He actually beat RUN 
DMC's MARY MARY, and walked away with 14 more points from the fight.  Major screwup 
at HOMICIDAL MANIACS.  BLACK BONKER lost 23 points to RAFFI THE GARROTE.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe BLACK BONKER will provide more easy wins...  I'm sure 
MORDANT is excited about PHIL HELLMUTH, the new Duelmaster from POKER GREATS.  
(remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  Advice to fighters with a 1 
will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was HOMICIDAL MANIACS.  In my day, no team with a 630-929-16 would 
scare me off!  What's the problem, BOOZE?   
     Warriors of MORDANT unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Right, if Allana can't trust Eloy, who am I to do it?  I mosterized him, and I
enjoyed doing it. -- Black Bonker

So I mistook Chark Forkbeard for a trash can.  Sue me.  He's short, shorter even than
me, kind of round, and all metal. -- Delise Orm

     Definitely a trash can.  You should see him eat!

Mad Mannequin -- Really, you should be a golem.  That would be appropriate.  I'd
still take pleasure in trashing you, but that's a different issue. -- Erbin Parnan

Silisa the Snake was pushing RICE.  I loathe rice.  No gluten. -- Cereal Killer

S... Mc -- You're probably on the wrong team.  Maybe we should switch. -- Chelsea
Noren

Downwiththeking -- Like I'm going to go for that, while the king's pet Red Wizard is
hanging around?  I don't think so!  I could turn into a human firework.  Not my
favored look. -- Masked Murderer

Lieutenant Worel isn't such a bad guy.  He's going to help me train my SZ.  I want to
be tall, like him. -- Beltran Moss
P.S.  Though I will remain blond and classically handsome, of course.

White Lightning -- What... WAS that?  I'm all dizzy. -- Domestic Dervish

Gobbledygook -- You got that... that GOOK all over my CLOTHES! -- Dandy Boy,
seriously upset

ALL -- MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL IN ALASTARI!!!
May your year end in peace and the new year hold great things for you and your
families. -- Gentleben (Sunset-21, Morya-28, Arvat-32 and Talahya-100)
