DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
There you have it, Key Lime. The season for a fruit, and dessert made from that
fruit, eventually comes to an end. And then the season for vengeance arrives. I
can't say that I was personally fond of Sarovond, but he was a teammate cut down in
his prime.
Dolovor
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record
which THE GOLDEN FISH managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record
will draw challengers! GROND caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission
as he skillfully bested CUSTARD and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, GROND put down CUSTARD, causing her to lose 7 points
of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the
challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster DOLOVOR himself. Who here
was not present for the title fight this week as PECAN PIE boldly challenged DOLOVOR
in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? The city has turned out in honor of
PECAN PIE, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in
the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in NIANIA seem to feel
that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city NIANIA. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it
seems that CANNOLI posted a challenge against the more highly recognized HAROLUE.
The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand CANNOLI was bested by HAROLUE. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Strange what qualities come forth in the face of
certain doom. KEY LIME has the town astir with the news of its Dark Arena victory!
Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies
against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in NIANIA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
The Userous Merchant! Ha! He takes me for a fool, perhaps, but I--I took him for a
victim, dealing him diverse injuries (all deserved) of which the worst to him was
separating him from his coin pouch. Not that there was much in it, but it's the
principle of the thing. -- Harolue
The Dangerous Criminal mocked me, adding insult to the injuries already done me. I
*will* have satisfaction of him, once I've worked out the details. It'll have to be
a plot, as he is too dangerous to confront directly. But I have friends who may give
him more trouble than he expects. Ha. -- Gallordin
Cannoli -- I'm sure that I and my teammates have observed before what a sweet young
thing you are--until you step out onto the sands, at least. Would that your sweet
generosity was not so limited! -- Kestratlak
Pop Tart -- I've got teammates who could describe your abrupt viciousness better than
I can, but I'll do my best. Hmm. Smarmy and two-faced, perhaps? Yeah, I think
that's it. -- Grond
P.S. Why, when we traded attacks and parries, did I end up with nothing?
P.P.S. To think of you as a father is to shudder.
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
