DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I apologize for the lack of a column during my stay atop the throne. I
submitted one a few turns ago, but the commission informed me that someone named Hal
ate it. Wonder if he is one of those mythical purple paper eaters I heard about?
Hmmm then again maybe I don't wanna know.
Now I am not really surprised to have been able to sit atop the throne the past
few turns, because I do have a pretty serious style advantage over my two current
challengers. Felissa and Katirona, you are both tough competitors, but that hasn't
been enough to overcome my advantage.
One thing I am a bit shocked about is getting my invite to the Isle this past
turn. I thought I would have to be forced out when I reached 50 fights, but
evidently I am slightly bonused in parry and that last skill gave me the expert
needed to meet the eligibility requirements.
Well my manager informed me that since I am immortal I am heading to the
tournament before fighting my last fight here. Maybe I can survive long enough to
pick up a few pointers from the highly skilled warriors I will be fighting in the
Challengers class. Wish me luck, I have a funny feeling I am going to need a lot of
it.
The reason my name is Halibutt is because I was magically transformed into a
golem from a fish years ago by Purple Sage. I was going to be dinner and he needed a
final member for the Wizards Wrath guild. I guess he must have seen something in me
all those years ago, because who would have though a nearly dead fish could get such
a good favorite weapon. <wink>
Lastly I must thank the Visionist for giving me a chance and not sending me to
fight by torchlight when he took over the guild. Thanks to his encouragment and the
training given by his retired Osksian Lord Protector Specter, I would never been able
to achieve this.
Your Kaltosian Duelmaster and newest Lord Protector Halibutt
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt KALTOS will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as THE MIDDLE WAY 5 is pushed out of top team by WIZARD'S WRATH, who came from 2nd
with a 3-2-1 this turn. And let's see, KADASYA fought IRVINA KORL and gained 23
points and contributed to WIZARD'S WRATH's 3-2-1. IRVINA KORL has lost to KADASYA,
falling 22 points, while helping make THE MIDDLE WAY 5 a 1-4-0 turn. And not without
some honor, FAST FORWARD now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of KALTOS.
Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters
do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
I like this place, KALTOS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Halibutt -- Do you get tired, sometimes, of being the butt of jokes based on your
name? Not that I'm going to apologize, what else is there to say? I have it on good
authority that five repeats of "Good fight" won't carry the newsletter through the
printer. -- Felissa Hurm
That Venomous Concubine is so selfish! She will NOT tell me who does her hair, and I
really want to know. -- Katirona Murh
Kadasya -- I hope the wizard's wrath doesn't fall on you; it was an uneven fight. Of
course, in an arena this small, unless you fight a standby, "uneven" is the name of
the game. And even the standbys... the handicapper has weird notions of what
constitutes "fair." -- Pendru Rost
Dyllin -- Stick with me, kid, and I'll teach you amazing things! -- Irvina Korl
Buzz Kill -- Coffee? Ack. -- Kolver Moon
Our congratulations to Halibutt. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Halibutt -- We wish you all the best, but there are no "lands" to give, and besides,
you're leaving. Why should we give lands to someone who is moving away forever? --
Arenamaster Troktai
P.S. And you're a golem. What use would a golem have for lands?
