DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well! This time, my meeting with Total Disaster 1.0 was NOT a total disaster.
I got the win and the title, it got four skills and a rating, plus, of course, it
stayed alive. If golems really ARE alive. Sometimes I wonder about that, though not
very hard, because, hey, they're golems. Who really cares?
Umbrella Man
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
BONSUR. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! For
every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at IMPORTED
FOOTBALLERS, who went down to 3rd from 9th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid
1-0-0 outing, HATE has advanced 4 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out
for LAGUNA LIL, who flew up 10 points in the rankings after mashing TOTAL DISASTER
1.0 like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to
walk out on the sands. TOTAL DISASTER 1.0 was subdued by LAGUNA LIL and drops 6
points. Well, everybody's pal UMBRELLA MAN moved his record to 18-46-0 by defeating
KHALHUMS DWARF in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 2 recognition points. 4
out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that
location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Well just about everybody wants a piece of LAGUNA LIL, who was this week's most
challenged warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, DANCING COWBOYS
went after SALTON SEAHORSE, who was higher by 25 points. Well, when the dust
settled, DANCING COWBOYS defeated SALTON SEAHORSE.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in BONSUR have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

The Venomous Gigolo is SUCH a wimp, you can't imagine. Hair oil, you know? Yucky.
-- Laguna Lil
Well, I know Lil was put off by the hair oil, but what got me was the cosmetics.
Really well done, subtle and all, but still...not, well, not MANLY. -- Salton
Seahorse
Vegas, Baby! -- Good name for someone on the Wasteland team, because that really
describes it. -- Sandy Shore
Dancing Cowboys -- Don't you trip over the spurs? -- Beach Betty

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
