DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
So, I'm back again! Not much to say this week, Kinthira, thanks for the match
up, I just love fighting you (just happens to be a good matchup for me). Rattler,
stay away, that's all I'm sayin'. You'll get your time on the throne soon enough,
why don't you just fight Chaktiri or that Chicken fella for a few turns until I can
get outta here!
So what happens this week? Who knows. What I do know is that I plan to
introduce anyone who wants to try for the title to my good buddy Mr. Maul. You don't
want to meet Mr. Maul. He's a little grouchy.
Tasaio, 2 time duelmaster! One via title defense!
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of NIANIA. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Good things come to
those who fight well, as SERPENTS HOLD can attest, moving up by 0. Practice pays for
GHUDA III, who pummelled FORBIDDEN FRUIT, to pocket 15 points. A certain someone
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 10 points to GHUDA
III. (Discrete enough, FORBIDDEN FRUIT?) What can be a greater victory? ROBOT
CHICKEN has taken his place as the top, as NIANIA's new Duelmaster. So who was the
warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got
a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of THE RUNAROUND should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, HAMOI TONG scurried away from THE RUNAROUND. Oh, the shame! Is it
charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is,
FORBIDDEN FRUIT is the most challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Questions are
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain
tavern in NIANIA would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. NIANIA, I
leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Jim's Tap Room. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Polish Cavalry -- I knew this would be a long fight, but you were supposed to teach
me lots of stuff so that I could go to the tourney and perform well. I will blame
any lack of tourney success on your poor teaching skills. -- Jiro
Robot Chicken -- Nice fight! I like the win, but really, not gonna teach me
anything! That's quite passive-aggressive of you. -- Chaktiri
Kinthira -- Can we just keep doing this over and over until I graduate? -- Tasaio
Rattler -- Someday.... someday..... someday..... -- Ghuda III
Arched Eyelid -- A little bit of a tough matchup, it looked like you almost pulled it
out. Still advanced in the rankings, though. Thanks for helping me to be so popular
this week! -- Papewaio
Tasaio -- Three cheers for living on the edge! -- Kinthira
Papewaio -- Could've been worse. I could've been one of those bare-hand idiots who
gets injured by the parries she makes. -- Kestraline
Grape Ape -- Ah, grape juice! Just what I needed for a purple cow. -- Korbrizt Horon
Eau de Pere -- Not running around fast enough yet, it seems. -- Elinterri
Tasaio -- As you see, it isn't only bashers who live on the edge. But so far, I can
take it, and that's all I ask. -- Kinthira
Someone's been feeding the Userous Merchant red meat. Stop! -- Kestraline
Drew -- Damned golem! I didn't sign up to fight golems. -- Lugbruk
