DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hmm, by defeating Hormonal Growth and remaining a mere pipsqueak of six foot
six, I become Duelmaster. How intriguing and un-obvious. Come down to it, I'm
surprised I won that fight, but hey, I'm not going to look that horse in the mouth!
I even got a winning record out of it. Good cess.
Gallordin
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIANIA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. HORMONAL GROWTH caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KESTRATLAK and was awarded 13
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HORMONAL GROWTH put
down KESTRATLAK, causing him to lose 3 points of recognition in the process.
Although VETERAN MERCENARY made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious GALLORDIN. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top
team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city NIANIA. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in NIANIA these
days is INTIMATE APPAREL. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of WIDE
WORLD OF... last week. Busy avoiding INTIMATE APPAREL? Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
KESTRATLAK. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! 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! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by
the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
The Khalhums Dwarf? That's the only gladiator who could be persuaded to see me off?
Not that I'm going to the Isle, but I am leaving town. Not telling where to, like I
need somebody following behind me to nag? As if! -- Harolue
I guess the Ambitious Guard was having an off day. Although I don't seem to
recognize this one? Can it be that Niania has more than one Ambitious Guard? Gods,
the thought is horrible! No telling what they might get up to in furtherance of
their ambitions. -- Kestratlak
Wow, it isn't easy to buy untaxed brandy from the Dangerous Criminal. Talk about
your suspicious minds! I had to beat him upside the head for a whole minute before
he yielded, listened, and agreed to a sale. I'm not sure this brandy is worth it. --
Grond
Well, damn. I think Grond set me up. *I* didn't want to buy any brandy, taxed or
not. -- Gulby
Harolue -- Not bad for a human, though if you had my decades of experience, I feel
sure you'd have done better, or at least faster. Not that I'm complaining! No,
indeed, no complaints. You made the fight look good to the Commission's observers,
and that always stands a standby in good stead come payday. A win would have been
better, of course, but a hotly contested loss will do. -- Gobiann Strongaxe, Dwarf of
Khalhums
Kestratlak -- You could have killed that Guard, Beldon Coreste, it was, and I would
not have minded. Some don't belong in the Guard Corps, but it's difficult to get rid
of them, especially when they have "friends in high places." -- Moro Salleshi,
Guardsman First Class
Grond -- I don't look for sales in the arena, you idiot. Approach me at the Kettle
of Fish next time you want to do a buy. -- Red Barkol, Dangerous Freetrader
Gulby -- Wimp. -- Red Barkol, Dangerous Freetrader
