DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Eh Der Niania. It be me yer Duelmaster. I be more smarts den Fierce so I can rites
fer you all. HAR HAR! Actuly hims did rite a column but me thunk the folks who puts
dis paper togethers did not understands what he rites. I guess dat Morador be takin
some times off after tha tournee so me beats down that dwarf again fer da title.
Everyun nos trolls be better den any dwarf. I do nots like what me sees in da champs
tho Solitare has to be better den tha last time me foughts him. Well time fer me
second lunch today sees you all at da pub, drinks are on Solitare.

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. MAD DOG caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested JARCK and was awarded 21 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, FORMIDABLE put down SMOLT,
causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has
TOOFLESS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven
its combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in
duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. HARLEQUINS is feared. This much I
can say. Apparently the stalwarts of BIG COUNTRY 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. ANALIRA take warning! You have more than a
few enemies in NIANIA. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it
seems that FIERCE ONE-EYE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized
MORADOR. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand FIERCE ONE-EYE lost to MORADOR.
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in NIANIA. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Prowess -- I stumble in awe of the female prow, MUCH fiercer than a mere male prow.
-- Nellistha
P.S. My manager never loses sleep over me. For that, he'd have to care what
happens.
P.P.S. And if he cared, we'd get strategy changes. Challenges, avoids. The whole
nine yards.
P.P.P.S. And Dark Arena fights.... I guess there are worse things than a manager
who is a "live and let live" type.
Solitare -- And you did it all by yourself. Darn. -- Yellow Pike
Half-Time -- You know, you COULD take longer. It's allowed. There's no need to
rush. -- Analira
Comedy -- Just a laugh a minute, you are. I'm laughing like anything. You can tell,
right? -- Abalonea
P.S. I suppose it makes sense for a golem to laugh heartlessly. After all, golems
don't HAVE hearts, do they?
Mad Dog -- And now I have to get rabies shots. Gee, thanks. -- Lubaya the Not Amused
Famous Hurlers -- Sorry 'bout The Rocket (Richard??). -- Sultan, not hole, but sorry
nonetheless
Not hole? How odd. If it's a typo, I have no idea what the original might have
been (and no access to the original to check). If it's NOT a typo, what the
heck does it mean? -- Ed.
Smolt -- CHICKEN! -- Prowess
Nellistha -- Told ya so, told ya so. -- Prowess
31 October 2003
Come one, come all, to the greatest contest in Alastari! The Third Annual Turf
War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your
team some experience, and get declared!
More info available in North Fork's newsletter.
Bloody Sands. -- Asmo Dius, TCB
13 November 2003
Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex
