DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
At long last, my friend Charlie Horse and I are headed for the Isle! Near-
perfection for us, oh so close. As most of you know, Charlie lost his 19th fight,
and I lost my 1st... so I actually have a better winning streak, 19 in a row to his
18. Well, I'm sure you've all been wondering, so here is what we Slashers look like:
Charlie Horse: 19-1-0: 11-5-9-17-15-14-13 good damage/normal end, Epee, Hi/VL.
29/26/28/6/10/21.
I.M. Weasel 19-1-2: 10(+2)-9-8-17-15-10-17 normal/normal, Hatchet, VH/VL, started Adv
Expert Init. 35/18?/23/9/12/22.
As you can see, we are good but we never lived up to our tournament potential.
It's scary to think what we could have done if either of us had ever tried our
favorite weapons. We did quite well enough with Scimitars, tyvm. I don't even do
good damage, but my last several opponents would swear otherwise! -- I. M. Weasel
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, GNU TEAM, since THE GOLDEN
FISH took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see GNU I KNEW win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, GNU I KNEW beat BIG BIRD and BIG BIRD lost 38 points. You're breakin' my heart.
I. M. WEASEL Dark Arena Challenged BANDIT PRINCE for NIANIA's Title this turn, and
guess what happened? And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting
bland, as I. M. WEASEL stays top dog in the city. Jim's Tap Room, humph! I've
tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From NIANIA's trash
dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Whoa! I'll even buy I. M. WEASEL a drink tonight!
Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side! Gee,
THE FUNNY FARM, ain't it past due for sending CHARLIE HORSE Dark Arena? What took
ol' '19-1-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! And sending CHARLIE HORSE to the Dark
Arena was supposed to be one of your better ideas, THE FUNNY FARM? Titanium shields
and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the NIANIA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Stupid Gnus -- I think that fight was much closer than it looked! I'm sure this
won't be the last time we match up. -- Tasaio
Uethinria -- Didn't we just do this last fight? Are you stalking me? As much as I
appreciate the skills, I'm afraid I still want to date other people. -- Chaktiri
Kestraline -- Definitely an interesting match-up. This might be a fun one to try
again in a few turns! -- Papewaio
Aruak City -- I think I may have my stable figured out... two more gladiators for
your fighting pleasure will be starting this turn and next turn! Now since my stable
is full, I expect that death will be stalking me soon.... -- Froot. E. Bowl
Our congratulations to I.M. Weasel and Charlie Horse. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish
Froot E. Bowl -- It does, indeed, sound like a whizz of a party. -- Jorja
Papewaio -- I was her deputy? -- Korbrizt Horon
Gnu Recruit -- Ah! We at the Golden Fishhouse UNDERSTAND gladiators who end up with
records like yours. Therefore, when the phase of the moon is right, we can defeat
you, and it was my pleasure to do so. -- Korbrizt Horon
P.S. Besides, you're a golem, and it's widely known that golems have no feelings to
be hurt and no pride.
Gnuton -- You should have realized that the apple wasn't going to fall far from the
tree. -- Kinthira
P.S. And don't ask me what that means. Jorja tossed it out without explanation.
She does stuff like that sometimes.
Chaktiri -- You humans are amazingly aggressive, aren't you? Probably why there's a
human ruling the city instead a Karragit. Oh, well. -- Uethinria
Papewaio -- "Vicious"? What's the deal with that? Not to mention all that grue. --
Kestraline
Gnuma Gnuma -- Good, I do this again. It is proper. -- Red Lizard
