DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yes, Plymouth Rock is Duelmaster for the 4th time, and now a Lord Protector. Finally!
I offer you his life history for your reading pleasure.
11-18-13-7-15-10-10 TP good endu/good dmg (when in doubt, make a TP)
bumped to 13-20-13-9-17-10-11 great/good
38-12-0 arena; 4 DM Titles; no tournaments
skill learn rate 1.26; adex Parry only
weapon activity:
BS @ 1/33/3
LS @ 1/13/0
ME @ 0/12/0
LG @ 0/1/0
FAVES: LS; Low/Mod; Riposte Tactic; Learns Riposte
(He DID learn 13 Rip skills, but appears to be -3 or -4 Rip!)
It just goes to show that a fine record can be acquired with a poor (at best) roll up
and some management effort. Plymouth Rock is the 1068th Consortium graduate.

SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ARKERS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. HOYT FOUNDATION turned their 3-2-0
turn into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you
get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THE DEALER win
a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, CORRECT CHANGE beat JHERI BLOOMERS
and JHERI BLOOMERS lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and
inability to defend the throne, PLYMOUTH ROCK has lost the Title of Duelmaster.
Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
PUNK CHILSNER takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh,
heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these
guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. BB PUBLIC TRANSIT, I suppose you'll be glad to know
you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you?
And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know?
It was SMITHSONIAN. Ha ha ha ha! ZAXBY was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Looks like time for
laurels or hemlock, SITTING BULL was challenged by DEFENSIVE LEE, who was ranked 28
points below him. And, oof! DEFENSIVE LEE saw stars around his helmet, after losing
the fight, and disappointing the crowds, I might add.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Whoa! I'll even buy ZOMBIE a drink tonight! Anyone
who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side! Titanium
shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of
weapons?
What does the ARKERS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

I am undertaking a fiction-writing project on the Patreon website, under my own name
of Judith Solberg. It isn't the kind of story I might put in the newsletter, but I
think some of you might enjoy it. I don't know how much you can see if you just
cruise by, but they tell me it's up and open. -- Jorja
