DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, Bonsur! It's good to be back in this fine city, though I hadn't
expected to be crowned Duelmaster so soon. I'm not even sure how many previous
Artists have preceded me on the throne--maybe three? Anyway, it's an honor, to be
sure.
I'm sure that given the ease with which I've dispatched my opponents thus far,
there will be rumours about my tournament experience. Honestly, I don't have that
much. There are 5 FE worth of experience that aren't shown on my record, that's all.
I've just been blessed with a great design, some excellent training and a genius of a
manager.
Anyway, I hope to see you again next turn.
-- Escher
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys
to dogpile on. BUNION SQUAD now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep
it. Coming up with a solid 5-0-1 outing, BUNION SQUAD has advanced 4 places in the
rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for BRUTALIZER, who flew up 21 points in the
rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast.
Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. THE ARENA STALKER was
subdued by ROSS and drops 17 points. The most challenged warrior this week was
ESCHER. If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids! Drawing on
all of hers experience as a 13-9-1 warrior, BARILOCHE went for the Duelmastership
against ESCHER this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was SENTINELS' BARILOCHE, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
ESCHER. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the BONSUR arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad REAVERS? Big bad REAVERS. Big bad
REAVERS. BONSUR's afraid of the big bad REAVERS. Tra la la la la! And you guys
like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause SENTINELS beats feet every time
REAVERS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, THE CONVINCIAN went after ALPHONSO BLACK, who was higher by 22 points.
Well, when the dust settled, THE CONVINCIAN subdued ALPHONSO BLACK.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And remember, you can pick your
friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The
Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Blackjack -- Not to worry, you were fine. I always did like the scrubbier oaks. --
Queenie
Ballista -- Is it you who keeps petitioning for missile weapons? I wouldn't mind
'em, myself. Getting behind a nice big tree or wall and firing off arrows at my
opponent has a GREAT deal of appeal. -- Redondo Rhonda
Orsinius -- You can't imagine how glad I am to look at your record and realize you'll
be here for a while yet. It seems like we just get to know someone, and he
graduates! You should stay awhile. -- Luau Lila
The Shadow Danc -- It must be a handicap when there's no sunlight and no shadows to
speak of, eh? -- Kona Kate
The Arena Stalk -- Perhaps you need to get your teammates to teach you to dance?
Stalking around like that is, frankly, graceless, and it makes for stiff and clumsy
manuevers on the sands. Dancing will help. -- Sarah Sundance
Orsinius -- Maybe. Or it could be low CN. -- Sarah
