                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     In the business, they call this "taking the money and running."
     I'm off to the Isle, where the crowds are thick and the purses are fat.

Cutpurse

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NIANIA, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for ANSWER PACK, who pummelled 
PIKESTAVE, to pocket 15 points.  TEH HADDOCK certainly had a baffled expression on 
his face, after losing to AVENGEANT and losing 6 points in the process!  Can you 
believe it?  CUTPURSE apparently has better things to do as NIANIA's Duelmaster than 
show up and fight!  In NIANIA, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find 
ourselves a new Duelmaster, OOZING MY MIND.  Word has it one team in NIANIA is using 
psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are NIANIA's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in NIANIA avoid THE RUNAROUND.  
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of 2ND DIRE LANCERS, so did that 
sorry team shy from THE RUNAROUND Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and SAM THE 
WHALE is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't THE GOLDEN FISH proud!  
Mismatched by 11 points, SAM THE WHALE beat EAU DE PERE.  Is this really worth 
noting?  I thought EAU DE PERE showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by 
SAM THE WHALE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not for whom the 
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  Do not despair!  I shall return!--

One-four and a death.  Not that we'll miss Bark all that much, but still, I thought
summer was supposed to be a GOOD time.  Warm, and all that. -- Peter Netley
P.S.  And Bark was killed by a wretched Ambitious Guard, not some serious gladiator.
The shame!
