DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Aha! My fourth DM Title. Lucky me! I plan to stay lucky by challenging and
avoiding optimally. Consanguineous may have Confidence, but I have none against him.
Why am I not graduated? Suck me off! I will sub for any one of those that
Green-Eyes selects and I would make its manager a Happy Camper. Pick me. pick me. I
have 20+ fights, 14+ wins, plenty of PPs, and an Adex. Perhaps I need one more
Expert?
It is hard acquiring experts when one is on a team with combined starting stats
like this:
ST - 9,10,11,14,17
CN - 9,12,19,19,20
SZ - 8,10,10,11,12
WT - 4,7,9,15,17
WL - 15,15,16,17,19
SP - 8,9,9,10,11
DF - 5,7,11,12,13
The gods have mercy on our souls!
Anyway, come and get me and teach me some defense.
Zither, DMIV
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ARKERS games. YOSEMITE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FRATSFA MERCENARY and was awarded 11
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ZOO put down IMERTA
LOEL, causing her to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of
the fights this week, the spotlight was on KERBIN NOTTS as he bore arms against the
challenge of reigning Duelmaster ZITHER. Not for nothing has ZITHER in the past laid
claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet
again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights
without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARKERS "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in ARKERS these days is YOU PAY I SLAY. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of SMITHSONIAN are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after INDIOR LANDIS. Watch your back! I cannot but express pride for the
fearlessness of ZORK who cast caution to the winds and challenged CONFIDENCE, a
fighter 52 points higher. In the end ZORK was defeated by CONFIDENCE, a "sharp"
reminder that higher recognition is an indication of greater skill. Still, it was a
worthy bout!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ARKERS. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell,
and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

at you. -- Curator
Congratulations to new Lord Protector Indior Landis. -- Curator

Life was sweeter when bimbos couldn't vote. -- Plymouth Rock
P.S. I do appreciate your being there for my use, however. (wink)
Norm Quesha -- Remember the... Alamo
Kotter Nahl -- I climbed that hill to victory rather quickly, wouldn't you say? --

shipbuilding? -- Mayflower
Kerbin Notts -- You speak to me about a piddlin' three to four inches of snow?! We
had eight inches here in SC the Sunday before the Face. What a surprise! No school

good fighters. -- Zither
Indior Landis, Lord protector! Kudos. I can assure you that my Z Gladiators will
miss you greatly. -- The Zee Man
Hey, hey, hey. A 4-0 for The Z Gladiators! A Duelmaster! Great job, Zees! But how
did those Smithsonians get more points to steal Team On The Move from us? Both GREAT
and disappointing. (sigh) -- Mr. Zee
Indior Landis -- Well, it wasn't easy, but it WAS a win. Congrats to you, LP! That
I envy you of. I do. -- Zither, DMIV
Polite Beggar -- Perhaps we can say I caged you? -- Zoo
Ima Slayer and Anita Kill, we were quite proud of those wins. Mr. Zee says to tell
that Khisanth guy his course is run. (wink) -- Zest and Zephyr
All -- I am getting together as many Duelmaster players as possible to play in a game
of Hyborian War as a change of pace. We already have 17 players that are interested
and we are trying to get as many as possible involved before I submit the list to
RSI. I am collecting the names and top 3 kingdoms that the players are interested in
and submitting it myself so we can all play in the same game. If you are interested
PM me in the DuelII Forums at Tripwire or email me at azaer123@comcast.net. --
