DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Hey, where'd everyone go? Down to only 4 teams? Since our return this has never been the biggest arena in Alastari, but it had generally held strong at 7-9 teams or so. But now we have fallen to only 4? No, this is not a good thing. That means the Church Ladies better finish the bake sale quickly and get back out on the sands. On a somewhat related yet different note, it seems I am confronted with the exact same choice of opponents as last time: a teammate, a warrior who doesn't fight and the candy striper. Last turn I wasn't sure if I could defeat Candy Cane and after the fight I know why I felt that way. Clearly I did win, as I should, but it was a very close thing. I believe my almost certainly ineffective challenge went out to Paula again this turn, but it seems most likely that I will face Candy again. I'm not sure I like that, but we'll see, the top two should match up I guess. Sorry, Blueburn, you don't count because of the whole teammate thing. Did you guys notice that as an arena this past turn we had no Total Parries spilling their blood on the sands? A proud moment for the arena, I am sure! Certainly it pleases the heart of this lunger. Cheers all! -- Kronos Grimholt, Duelmaster of Bonsur SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of BONSUR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see QUEENIE win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, VENOMOUS GIGOLO beat SALTILLA and SALTILLA lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, BONSUR may be getting bland, as KRONOS GRIMHOLT stays top dog in the city. The Warty Toad, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From BONSUR's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. BONSUR, I am losing what little hope I had in you. CHURCH LADIES the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SENTINELS. Ha ha ha ha! Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see SARAH SUNDANCE and BEACH BABES at The Warty Toad tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over CAJETAN. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of BONSUR. I feel much better now.

When I got to Bonsur all the vets said, "It is a good town, just stay on the good side of the Babes! Smash and the cabana, it will make your time here quite pleasurable." It sounded like good advice, but what did I go and do? On the very first fight of my career I killed one of the Babes! Honestly, it was an accident! Sorry, ladies, I guess these things happen in the arena. I'd say good luck in the bloodfeud, but I hear that you don't do that sort of thing. Perhaps we can discuss the issue over some of this smash I keep hearing about? -- Cajetan, the remorseful Saltilla -- Indeed you are using that face, and you use it so well! -- Blueburn Patty -- Gotcha! -- Blueburn Queenie -- Now you are a sweet little thing. I do enjoy this whole dueling business much more when I can pick up a few wins. -- Blago Blueburn -- I can TOO kill a houseplant, I'm GOOD at it. They see me coming and just roll over and DIE. -- Palmetta Patty He tells me he's a "Veteran Mercenary in good standing," but he isn't standing. He's falling down. And yes, I did make that happen, but he can't BLAME me, that's my job. If his standing is so good, he should GET BACK UP. -- Saltilla The Userous Merchant has a most unreasonable pricing structure. You'd think a golem would be designed to do it better. -- Little Venus Blago the Axe -- That really hurt! I need a lot of smash to make up for that. -- Queenie Cajetan -- Well, THAT was a mistake. Maybe I need to re-think my approach. -- Ghost of Surfin' Sarah LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS KRONOS GRIMHOLT devastated PALMETTA PATTY in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. BLUEBURN viciously subdued LITTLE VENUS in a 2 minute brutal expert's battle. SALTILLA was overpowered by VENOMOUS GIGOLO in a 1 minute mismatched duel. HAYMAKER devastated CAPTURED PIRATE in a 1 minute one-sided fight. BLAGO THE AXE was savagely defeated by QUEENIE in a 4 minute competition. CAJETAN was savagely defeated by SARAH SUNDANCE in a 2 minute novice's struggle.
