DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, warriors of Kaltos (or what's left of it). This is your new Duelmaster,
Fast Forward. I really enjoyed pounding the former duelmaster on his way out of town
-- a most refreshing experience. Sadly, I will not be here to enjoy the comforts of
Kaltos much longer, as I am bound for the Isle. I'm the 16th member of Technology to
graduate, and the 38th overall for my manager, Otto X.
My design is nothing spectacular: 15(2)-9-9-21-17-4-11. In case anyone wondered why
I carry a shield as a lunger, it's because I've learned all 20 parry skills. The
Isle invitaion confirmed my favorite learn was parry. We filed that under "DUH". I
have master ratings in initiative, attack and parry, advanced expert defense and
expert riposte.
I'm going after the Dark Arena this turn, as I don't want to be the first lunger to
graduate this team without a kill. My mates in Talahya would never let me hear the
end of it.
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon KALTOS, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! BLOOD SUCKERS had cause to celebrate, after CREDIT
CARD got 19 points by beating CONVICTED THIEF. Duelmaster FAST FORWARD from
TECHNOLOGY is going for the gold, as he Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's STONE
GOLEM. Ooh, the excitement! The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed
the Duelmaster, FAST FORWARD, leaving TECHNOLOGY in mourning. The audience got their
money's worth, as they witnessed FELISSA HURM attain the throne at the cost of FAST
FORWARD's life! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas?
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in KALTOS would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in KALTOS is the highlight of my life. More important
duties call me. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Ah, the Kung-Fu Master, Fu Toledo! I say to him, kung-fooey to you! -- Felissa Hurm
P.S. He's nuts, you know, or he'd get at LEAST a dagger.
Sonny -- That was a high-tech attack and no mistake. Ouch. -- Katirona Murh
Electric Sheep -- Does this mean you're self-shearing? -- Pendru Rost
Kadasya -- Oh, well, a wrathy wizard is no one I want to cross. -- Irvina Korl
Mechanon -- Really, you should be a golem. You'd be a natural, if that isn't a
contradiction in terms. -- Kolver Moon
Haiibutt -- Good column, amazingly eloquent for a fish. -- the Middle Way
Congratulations to Fast Forward, who is zooming in and out before we even got a
chance to try him out. -- the Middle Way
And a salute to the tourney participants. -- the Middle Way
Fast Forward -- I believe the "lands" question was covered just last turn with
Halibutt? The situation hasn't changed in the last two weeks, you know. I wish you
well, the rest of the arena staff wishes you well, a large portion of the population
of Kaltos probably wishes you well or at least not ill, so, have a good trip, eh? --
Arenamaster Troktai
