DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I gotta give Sonya credit for steppin' onto the sands. It was a bad matchup for
her all around. Sometimes we're victims of our own early success. Flying' up the
rankings can result in some painful smackdowns. Don't I know it. When I first
started out, way back when, I got into the challenger adepts too fast and paid the
price with a few losses. It's the price of success -- you get to fight more
experienced and skilled foes. And I don't mind bein' the one deliverin' the lessons.
*cracks knuckles*
The big question on my mind is whether I'll get the invite to the Isle before
the tourney. A couple more wins and all the political factors, who knows? If I'm
not yanked outta Bonsur, I'll give the Champions tourney a go. But I'm not sitting
out (and losing the DM throne) just for the tourney. Bein' on top means more.
Good to see Tool Skedamud Chuck, get up here and take your beating.
Doom Dwarf
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in BONSUR this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
BONSUR LONG NAMES is pushed out of top team by BEACH BABES, who came from 3rd with a
5-0-0 this turn. TOOL SHED stable has parlayed this turn's 3-1-0 into a 3 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The BEACH
BABES guild has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never
know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, BLACKJACK fought BARILOCHE
and gained 13 points and contributed to BUNION SQUAD's 2-3-0. RAMROD has lost to
VENOMOUS GIGOLO, falling 11 points, while helping make BUNION SQUAD a 2-3-0 turn.
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and DOOM DWARF remains BONSUR's
top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last
night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. SENTINELS has cause to stand tall,
as they were BONSUR's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding SENTINELS more than any other team we find BUNION SQUAD. BONSUR,
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior
this turn was BONSUR LONG NAMES' warrior THE STREET WALKER. More fighters challenged
her than challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. The Warty Toad declares a free round for ORSINIUS and all of SENTINELS, for
having revenged BONSUR LONG NAMES' THE STREET WALKER for killing one of their
comrades. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in BONSUR, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Blackjack -- Do you suppose it would help if I developed some bunions of my own?
Because this is embarrassing. -- Queenie
Chance -- Yes, well, that's the thing about chance. You can't predict where it's
going, and today it was going to lose. Say la vee. -- Kona Kate
The Shadow Danc -- It's better to dance in the sunlight. Trust me, I know about
this. -- Sarah Sundance
The Shade Pranc -- Tripped over those extra letters, did you? It happens. -- Luau
Lila
The Bible Thump -- Anyone who would beat on a book deserves to be thumped in return!
-- Redodndo Rhonda
Orsinius -- Sir! Thank you for those compliments. -- Rhonda
P.S. Kona's smash... I don't know what it is, but it seems to make people awfully
jumpy, and they can't get to sleep for days after drinking it. I wonder if it's
those "imported tropical beans" she uses?
Queenie -- We've got to stop meeting like this... people will talk. -- Blackjack
Chuck -- Nice. But I'm not done with you, oh no... -- Harpoon
Annie -- That's it! I'm getting a win next time! Aaargh! -- Princess
