DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Gimlet, good job! You lose very well, and I appreciate the gift. After all,
we've only been the most casual of friends, up to now. But from this gift, I can see
you want a closer relationship--now that you're no longer overshadowed by Scandalf
and Aragant. Splendid fellows, of course, Scandalf and Aragant, but, ah...pushy.
Always wanting to be the center of attention. Now, though....
Jimmy Custer
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out JHELUM to see
what's new. Like, TANKS FOR NOTHIN' had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked
off #1 spot by THE WALL! Way to go THE WALL! MVP award for PANTHER? TANKS FOR
NOTHIN''s proud of her after beating HANNIBAL and getting 19 points. Talk about yer
big time losers! HANNIBAL got smashed by PANTHER, and lost 13 points! GIMLET thinks
his 24-30-2 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any
bets? This Duelmaster is like something else! JIMMY CUSTER stopped GIMLET dead in
his tracks! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask
me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of TANKS FOR NOTHIN' must be getting
lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't?
Hhmph! What kind of warriors are BABY BROTHERS? TANKS FOR NOTHIN', an easy team to
beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Like, is FLOYD PINK
popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of JHELUM! He's got a 3-0-0, is
that good?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Jimmy Custer -- Two broadswords, really? Considering you don't usually go past the
first minute, you might have need of more swiftness that weapons. If you're going to
go to all the trouble, at least haul along some malt beer and ripe meat on the bone.
-- Gimlet
Floyd Pink -- Shouldn't your fighting style be 'wall of sound'? I'm so full of holes
from that epee I feel like a harmonica. Perhaps we shall yet play beautiful music
together, my young enting, hoom hah! -- Freebeard
THE Prostitute -- Ha! As if there was only one. Thirteen minutes of heavy breathing
and scimitar swishing left me wanting more. Perhaps next time I'll last even longer
so bring a friend. -- Somewiseguy
Widow of Convicted Thief -- My condolences madam. Most thieves don't get what they
deserve but this one overpaid, I think. -- Fear-O-Me
P.S. Has anyone seen my flagon?
Osksi Noble -- What is so noble about a name that can't be pronounced without
spittle? -- Rippin
Leonidas -- Shine on you crazy diamond...or head on off to the dark arena, whichever
you prefer. -- Floyd
Diapered Zalgor -- What an unwelcome image! And yet, without the diaper...no, don't
want to go there. -- Challon
P.S. I was too disconcerted to even THINK of fighting.
Convicted Assassin? Nobody told me I'd be fighting assassins! The very idea put me
off my stroke. What if he had a poisoned blade? What if he had a garrote? I was
unprepared for the plethora of lethal possibilities. -- Howard
Veteran Mercenaries. It's a sad comment on the state of the world when worthy
soldiers are reduced to fighting in the arena, and I include myself in that group,
but not my teammate Jimmy. -- Hannibal
J.A. Pinkerton -- (tips head way back) So tall! Amazing. I envy you that. --
Leonidas
P.S. Do you dance? I know we're both men, but we're also half-elves, and we don't
have to take the narrow human view, do we? We could be just friends and dancing
partners.
Our congratulations to Gimlet. -- the Dogs of War
The Judge -- Listen, dammit, give me a couple of coppers and I'll go away. -- Dirty
Joe, your average Persistent Beggar
Teacher -- I never did like school. And I still don't. -- Balbonsigo of Mordant
Rippin -- (nasty grin) Take that, you commoner. -- Ladro van Koren Sistrum the
Fifth, Nobleman of Osksi
Fear-O-Me -- Hey! That was TOTALLY unnecessary. Now I'll have to go steal more
stuff (and probably get convicted for it, as I am not a natural nor a trained thief,
I was raised to be honest) in order to pay off the resurrection debt. Bummer, dude.
-- Zock, Convicted Thief
Hannibal -- I made you sweat for that one. -- Doldo d'Ariske, Veteran Mercenary
P.S. Does that count as an "audition"? I'd like to join your army, provided I don't
have to clean up after the elephants.
Howard -- Ah...rhymes with "coward," yes? And a ninety-pound weakling, besides,
which is odd in someone six feet tall. Of course, you're a golem, which may explain
it. A hollow man. Unworthy of my steel, but I do what I must, as always. -- Trilibo
of Sibikhas, unreasonably Convicted Assassin
P.S. The judge was against me, because it was that very judge who HIRED me in the
first place to take out his mother-in-law. There is no honor left in this world.
