DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Zilch, are you shurrrree you're ready for the Isle? No disrespect, but you
can\'t handle me and I have but one expert rating (though my buffness more than makes
up for my lack of skill). If I didn't know better, I would think you just didn't
want to write any columns. I must admit, writing them makes my head hurt, but I'll
try anything to improve my 5 WT....
Hope to see you one day on the Isle,
Confidence
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARKERS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. IWO JIMA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested IMA SLAYER and was awarded 15 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, IWO JIMA put down IMA
SLAYER, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. This time out
DEAD LEE made his bid for the throne as he challenged CONFIDENCE in an all out
contest of skill for possession of the title! The city has turned out in honor of
DEAD LEE, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in
the city! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights
without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ARKERS. ARKERS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is MIDDLE WAY 11, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding MIDDLE WAY 11. Indeed it was SMITHSONIAN. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after DEAD LEE. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Was I the only one shocked to see the well
respected fighter SIR CUMCISER (3-0-0) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is
now dead. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one
reward--death. This past week GERONIMO, at 7-9-0, departed ARKERS forever. This
week's duel proved deadly to GERONIMO as he fell to the more renowned warrior, KERBIN
NOTTS. How will SMITHSONIAN find revenge? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
