DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ah, that's what happens when you eat potato salad on a picnic, Bubba. Most of
the time you're okay, but just once in a while, it comes with Sam and Ella, and then
you get really sick and can't win your fight in the arena. Bummer for you, but it
works for me.
Grond
P.S. That's why I stuck to the sauerkraut. I'm not real fond of it, but properly
fermented and pickled cabbage is secure where Sam and Ella are concerned.
P.P.S. But the sausages-in-a-bun were great. Thanks for the invitation.
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for ENRKO FERMI, who flew up 12 points in
the rankings after mashing MORDALL like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And
falling like a basher in the top ten was GULBY, who dropped 7 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. Our battling
duelmaster GROND has managed to hold the title, fending off CONVICTED ASSASSIN's none
too subtle advances. Better luck next time, NIANIA. Can you believe they are paying
me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NIANIA arena.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in NIANIA have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Brandy Pinkerton -- The voices told me to do it. They didn't like your face. Or
maybe I mean I didn't like your face? I'm a little confused, but someone didn't. --
Goldina
P.S. I really miss Haus.
Lilly Pepper -- Not enough seasoning is what *I* think. But I'm not sure which of us
needs it. Many things are confused around our guildhouse these days, me not the
least. -- Gulby
Ghandi -- Super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. I never expected to have
occasion to use that pun in a personal, so I'm not going to let this chance get away.
-- Lorinda
Turtellinni -- Huh, I thought you were one of those Pasta guys from Osksi. Almost as
bad, plus the shell. Not my kind of opponent. I wasn't ready for a loss. -- Mordall
Bubba -- You tell the women on your team to watch OUT for that Khalhums Dwarf.
Gobiann Strongaxe, that is, and he's got a reputation for being, um, a little too...
pre-emptive with the human females, I guess he doesn't like his women with beards.
Some of my earlier teammates had serious problems with him. One was even kidnapped
and taken away somewhere! She totally vanished. We don't KNOW what happened to her,
but with the swamp all around, well, we worry about it. Not as much as we did back
THEN, and Pike, he was another earlier teammate, he even got his girlfriend, Seef
Haraine, the Venomous Concubine, you know, to turn out a bunch of Karragit to help
look. But we never found her. It was a bad time. So you tell Brandy and Lilly to
be careful around him, okay? -- Lorinda
Eio Yue -- We'll do the best we can, we have been--the situation with Goldina worries
us, too. But with the title to our team being confused, well, we asked M. Laymoness
Chardinee, who's a lawyer on the side (as well as an insurance agent now), to look
over the contracts, and he says there are some "ambiguous paragraphs," and this could
mean all kinds of trouble. I don't like to think about it, but someone's got to. --
Grond
