DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings fellow Kaltosians! I am just as surprised to be Duelmaster as you
are, after being challenged by Bombette. To be completely honest the gods were
watching over me. If the fight lasted ten more seconds I would have probably have
passed out from exhaustion.
The GC invite report says that I favor the shortsword, which I think is a bunch
of hooie. Why would anyone fight with a little sword when a big sword is so much
more intimidating. They also said I fight best when running high offense and very
low activity. I have never tried fighting like that except against someone like
Bombette, otherwise I would standing before Ahringol telling him to kiss my....
Anyway, my visit here was shorter than expected and I will not be fighting at
the Isle. So I leave wishing you all luck in the future.
Your Duelmaster and retiring Lord Protector, Apprentice
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in KALTOS! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for PENDRU ROST? THE
MIDDLE WAY 5's proud of him after beating GOOMBARIO and getting 9 points. Talk about
yer big time losers! GOOMBARIO got smashed by PENDRU ROST, and lost 4 points! Was
that a tear I saw in SASHA's eye, as she took over Duelmastership? And wasn't
APPRENTICE fit to be tied! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine
hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. The warriors
of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 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 PAPER MARIO?
THE MIDDLE WAY 5, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! Can WIZARD'S WRATH's HALIBUTT be more popular than me? It was
challenged the most, but is that really the same? For sure, I was holding my breath
when I found out TINY TOES challenged HALIBUTT. After all, haven't PAPER MARIO and
WIZARD'S WRATH had a long standing duel in KALTOS? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or
anything, but HALIBUTT wants me to write about it since it defeated TINY TOES.
Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All KALTOS ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear
from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Apprentice -- You fought well, defeated me fairly, and deserve the crown. I salute
you. -- Bombette
Super Patriot -- Man, was I lucky, lucky, lucky. -- Goombario
The retiring Bombette is:
14(+2)-18(+3)-16-7(+2)-21(+1)-6-11(+1) mode-ish TP
Trem/Trem Great Damage
Only an expert Parry. (learn rate 1.11 skill/turn)
Quarterstaff/Low/Low
Parry tactic; learns attack
Lots of interesting surprises, none of which matter in retirement. -- Luigi, Paper
Mario Manager
Bombette -- You are definitely built like a brick house. -- Apprentice
Sasha -- Try and kill me will ya. -- Tiffinal
Jammy Larke -- I wish I could learn like that. -- Halibutt
Bombette -- I am sure you have made a lot of men "pass out" in your time. --
Apprentice
Feliss Hurm -- I will now die for my liege! -- Super Patriot
Pendru Rost -- I will tear off your ears! -- Savage Dragon
Pendru Rost -- Abraxis is very good to me! (raw goat steaks) -- Savage Dragon
Savage Dragon -- You know, I had an idea that savage beasts were supposed to be kept
in cages. Well, except during the bloodgames, or when fights run over an hour-- Oh,
did you hear about that? Rumor has it that someone in the Commission is
contemplating "sending in the lions" when fights run too long. Never gonna happen,
they don't make changes. But, not being a total parry, I kinda like the idea there.
-- Pendru Rost
Halibutt -- Euwh, fish! I totally don't like fish. I don't even like them enough to
filet them, which is why you got off easy. Well, and because you have more
experience than me. -- Jammy Larke
P.S. Did you make a wizard so mad that he turned you into a man-fish? Gruesome!
Oh, gods, please! Everybody help me convince M. Chardinee that I did NOT say he was
worthless and weak. He'll have the whole Chardinee Society on me if he thinks I did.
Some reporter on the Commission hates me. -- Gerdig Ibbins
The Fratsfa Slave bothers me. I mean, he isn't Fratsfan HIMSELF, so he must have
been bought from them, right? He's...SECOND HAND. Tawdry. Practically an insult to
any gladiator with a little experience. -- Katirona Murh
The Mordant Deserter. (sigh) I'd like some more information here. Why did he leave
Mordant? What made it "desertion"? Is there a price on his head? I hardly think
he'd be worth much, unless it's as a horrid example. -- Felissa Hurm
Luigi -- (exasperated look) Gangrel wasn't HERE, he was in Zukal. These people
don't know what a nuisance he was, so how can they be glad he's gone? -- Jorja
Super Patriot -- Which god, what country, eh? -- Felissa Hurm
Our congratulations to Apprentice and Bombette. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Bombette -- The knowledge that you will be passing near my place of confinement will
empower me to fight harder to escape! -- Fergus Hill
P.S. I still don't know why I was nabbed and locked up. It couldn't be the treasure
map, could it?
Gerdig Ibbins -- You want insulted? I'll show you SERIOUSLY insulted. -- Devrie
Scatha, Concubine Out of Favor
Gerdig Ibbins -- "Bested"? I don't think so. Temporarily defeated, I will allow,
and I will never again take one too many whiskeys before the fight and agree to
fighting with one hand behind my back. -- M. Tolovi Chardinee
Katirona Murh -- (whimper) You Delarquans are too mean! -- Larsanthek of Kurukar and
Fratsfa
Felissa Hurm -- I'm paid to fight, not to answer impertinent questions, woman. --
Rovalo d'Kormachi, formerly of Mordant
P.S. Like all women, you talk too much.
Spawn -- Not bad for an overgrown dwarf. -- Rovalo d'Kormachi, formerly of Mordant
Violator -- You should be on MY side! -- Lurvayne to'Kass, a gambler and scribe
