I don't think, really I don't think, that you're quite ready to resume the Duelmaster's title, Brandy. Although at the rate you learn, it won't be long. Until that day-- Grond SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. JEAN PAUL SATRE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CONVICTED THIEF and was awarded 14 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL put down LILLY PEPPER, causing her to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of BRANDY PINKERTON, for with hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! 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! Many and various are the arts of battle. In NIANIA "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRANDY PINKERTON 5565 11 4 1 100 PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE (657) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EIO YUE 5568 11 4 0 100 PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE (657) BUBBA BENDER 5566 10 4 0 93 PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE (657) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GROND 5540 21 15 0 88 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) -EDWARD O'HARE 5461 12 7 0 87 MEDAL OF HONOR A1 (646) GULBY 5558 16 11 1 68 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) GOLDINA 5563 14 7 0 68 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HAROLD MOON 5500 4 2 0 61 MEDAL OF HONOR A1 (646) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LILLY PEPPER 5564 9 6 0 42 PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE (657) -YUKIO OKUTSU 5460 8 11 1 42 MEDAL OF HONOR A1 (646) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ADSA JENSEN 5604 3 0 0 26 PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE (657) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LORINDA 5603 3 3 0 15 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) JEAN PAUL SATRE 5612 1 0 1 14 Historical Wusses (660) ENRKO FERMI 5613 1 0 0 13 Historical Wusses (660) IGNORANT BAUD 5609 1 0 0 9 042909A (659) MELANTOR 5615 1 0 0 6 THE GOLDEN FISH (147) GHANDI 5611 0 1 0 1 Historical Wusses (660) DESMOND TUTU 5610 0 1 0 1 Historical Wusses (660) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IMMANUEL KANT 5614 0 1 0 1 Historical Wusses (660) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn. THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? CONVICTED THIEF 0 0 0 JEAN PAUL SATRE 5612 516 NONE PERSONAL ADS Eio Yue -- A good match, and I do appreciate a good student, too. -- Kestratlak P.S. I am *not* a true golem, I'm sure of that. It's just some kind of fluke in the Commission office, we all know how skewed their views on "race" are. I am *not* a golem. Really. Bwahaha! Ssothiss, Assassin of Note, is out to get me! This has to be something to do with the mysteries of me being a golem and not finding out till I was grown up. There's a further secret in there, and he... he seems to think he has a mission to suppress me! I don't understand it, nobody tells me anything about what *my* mission might be, and I don't like it, and I don't *want* to be a golem, and I miss Haus Heus! -- Goldina, bursting into tears and running out of the house What I want to know is, why is the Convicted Assassin, the damned Ssothiss, coming after *me*? What did *I* do? I'm no golem! -- Gulby Adda Jensen -- Ah, one of those "hard-hitting" women? Hmm. Is that hard to learn? Maybe I should become a hard-hitter, too. -- Lorinda Lilly -- How can it be that I am "looking at you funny"? (not blinking) What is funny here? How am I "looking at you," other than that you are in my line of sight? (pause to run her hand along her dagger) Come closer and let me "look at you" with more care. -- Goldina Adsa -- *I* am no golem, woman! Pay attention. -- Lorinda Bubba -- Maybe *you* are the one who got lucky with my graduation. You can't tell with stuff like that. -- Kestratlak Gavin Rule -- Gates, probably. Golems, not yet. Managers, oh, yeah, most of the ones who write at all end up telling their stories. I myself have a very mundane origin: I graduated off a team in Lin Tirian, didn't figure I was up to Isle fighting, and took over managing some of my former manager's teams--eventually all of them. It's a strange life but a busy one, I like that. And there are reasons why it might not be the smartest thing I could do to go home to Lin Tirian any time soon. -- Jorja LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GROND was bested by BRANDY PINKERTON in a 1 minute Title fight.
