Too many small businessmen of this city have lodged protests after being beaten up by little old ladies who objected to their modes of doing business. I, Aldartha M'Kee, spokeswoman of the Little Old Ladies' League of Niania, do hereby challenge any city father to meet me in the dark alley of his choice. We are being discriminated against, and we won't have it. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 593): MIASMA of SWEORDMASTERS (Mannequin, mgr.)

SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody, watch out for KESTRATLAK, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing CAPTURED ORC like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. DOLOVOR lost to KUNG-FU MASTER and drops 8 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was THE GOLDEN FISH's HAROLUE, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by SCURVY LAD. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location. But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster. Well, there's the manager of the NIANIA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Hand of God -- Okay, fine. Gods have hands, I suppose, and even hand-men, which are the masculine of hand-maidens, right? But what I want to know is, which god are we talking about here? There are some I'd be glad to give a hand to myself, and others I wouldn't spit on if their fur caught fire. -- Sarovond P.S. And just off the top of my aching head, I bet you're associated with one of the nastier ones. Hand of Hell -- Coming and going, eh? Too bad you can't win it both ways. But that's life in the arena, and out of it as well. -- Dolovor Pecan Pie -- Augh! Way too sweet! I don't see how people can eat this kind of stuff. Rots the teeth, coats the tongue, upsets the stomach, and does damage at every stage. Even the protein in the pecans isn't enough to balance the sugar. -- Gallordin P.S. Chess pie, that's the stuff. Korvoskol Turo, Veteran Mercenary -- You should retire on your pension. And if the pension isn't enough to live on, so many of them aren't, then you should start a little non-violent business on the side. Raise vegetable marrows, maybe, and sell 'em to gladiators who can't get melons to smash. -- Harolue the Ever-Helpful Biff Mugg, Late of Mordant -- I have a lot of sympathy for anyone who gets stuck in Mordant, and I'd've moved out, too. The place is an armpit. But that doesn't mean you get to defeat me. We golems (sure want to know how that happened) have our pride. -- Kestratlak Ed. -- Now that you mention it, I can see that must be the explanation. And my mother didn't tell me because, for the same reason of protecting my real identity, she is staying away from me. Huh. I suppose this is a good thing, but what it feels like is that I've been rejected. I believe I'm going to get a complex about it. -- Kastratlak This may be the start of a whole new career for you! If you have a complex about something, it's dead simple to become an artist of some sort. -- Ed. Masters of Sand -- This is pathetic. -- Mernisial the Grim, High Elf of Niania Arena LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SCURVY LAD devastated HAROLUE in a action packed 1 minute mismatched Title fight. SAROVOND savagely defeated CAPTURED ORC in a 2 minute veteran vs. novice melee. DOLOVOR was devastated by KUNG-FU MASTER in a 1 minute one-sided contest. GALLORDIN overpowered CAPTURED ORC in a crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched match. KESTRATLAK savagely defeated CAPTURED ORC in a 3 minute bloody novice's struggle.
