                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

I've finally made it.  I suppose it would have happened sooner if my Sister Brandy
hadn't hogged it. *sticks out his tongue*  It's been a hard climb and getting harder
to stay at the top.  We had our butts handed to us in the tourney--again.  I think
we'll give up on them, as it doesn't seem to be our knack.  Maybe someone will
graduate before Gavin totally freaks.  He's been in the strangest moods.

                    Duelmaster Supreme,

                        Bubba

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see GOLDINA win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, GOLDINA beat 
BRANDY PINKERTON and BRANDY PINKERTON lost 7 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And 
if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as BUBBA BENDER stays 
top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you 
this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, NIANIA?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  Ooh, 
I'm frightfully impressed, GROND was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that 
ego swell, sports fans.  I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but 
LILLY PEPPER has challenged up by 26 in an attempt against GROND.  And Jim's Tap Room 
has banned GROND from service until next turn for losing to LILLY PEPPER and giving 
her 27 points in the process!  Ha!  And we have IGNORANT BAUD in a challenge, going 
down 8 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought IGNORANT BAUD showed great skill 
and promise when he bested LORINDA.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIANIA's 
morgue.  More variety.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of NIANIA.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the back of 
this place-- Snide Clemens

Bubba Bender -- That was well done, and I am more glad of it than otherwise.  I find
it hard to think of things to say. -- Gulby
P.S.  I'm the modest, unassuming type, though the Commission has recognized that I'm
intensely charismatic when I allow it to show.

Brandy Pinkerton -- Way to go, woman.  Claw your way back up to where *you* can take
the title, eh? -- Grond

Eio Yue -- I think Goldina was *going* to write a personal, but then she got all
glassy-eyed and stalked off, walking like a badly-made puppet into the bargain, to
disappear into the night.  Sometimes I wonder about that girl. -- Grond

Immanuel Kant -- I kan to! -- Lorinda

A Persistent Beggar?  Bah, that's nothing. -- Mordall

Gavin -- We'll see.  It's been over a week since the last furnace break-down, so
maybe we have it fixed now.  I'm trying to pull up my socks on the major story
commitments--the Andorian story and the one running in Malcorn and Lapur, and if I
can get them under control,... maybe then something for here. -- Jorja

Grand -- One of those boys?  What is that supposed to mean? -- Eio
P.S.  Thanks, I try hard.  Gavin's a good guy as long as you're on his side.

Goldina -- Oh, the ways I could bend you.  Voices huh?  What kind of voices?  What do
they say? -- Bubba

Goldina -- Golem master?  No such thing.  Never heard of one. -- Eio

Well, well, well...Lilly is finally deciding to join us up here.  But I'm sure it
won't last long.  She's so used to lying down on the job. -- Brandy

Brandy -- Oh, cute... that just goes to show how much of a dead fish you are.  I've
got more moves than Mr. Potato Head has pieces. -- Lilly

*cough...sputter*  Lilly, she means on the sand after losing a fight. -- Bubba

Oh man... the Ambitious Guard broke my golem.  You'll pay for that!  They aren't free
you know.  5-0 too.  *sigh*  Okay, I suppose I'll have to cruise by the slave market.
Quiet, Brandy, I don't want any crap; I'm freeing them okay? -- Gavin
