DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, it has been a few years (since 2008 actually) since we've been back to Arkers,
so glad Gutsag gave us back the throne so quickly. Mucho Gracias!
For those who care about such things, my vitals are 16(1)-8(1)-11-16(1)-18(1)-12-7,
with Masters in Attack (+2) and Initiative (mode), and an Advanced Expert in Decise
(mode), though apparently bonused in Defence from wit statements. Favourites are
Very High/Very Low Rhythm with the Mace and learning Initiative skills.
Hopefully one of the other Ladies will be here soon. I'm off to look for a High Elf.
-- Miss Took
Ladies In Waiting
2 time Duelmistress of Arkers
SPY REPORT
Hail ARKERS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. SMITHSONIAN stable has parlayed this turn's 3-1-1 into a 3 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 4th place. Good work, guys! The OTHERWOOD guild
has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where
this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, THE BEGGAR fought ZIRCONIUM and gained
24 points and contributed to HOYT FOUNDATION's 3-2-0. JHERI BLOOMERS has lost to
HUMBLE LEE, falling 23 points, while helping make HOYT FOUNDATION a 3-2-0 turn. This
turn MISS TOOK Dark Arena Challenged WURM KIN in what was ARKERS' Title bout.
Defending hers title for another turn, MISS TOOK kept DARK ARENA's warrior, WURM KIN,
from claiming the throne. 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. BLOODY HAND CLAN has cause to
stand tall, as they were ARKERS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And avoiding BLOODY HAND CLAN more than any other team we find Z
GLADIATORZ. ARKERS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was TAC's warrior HAWK. More fighters challenged him
than challenged the Duelmaster! Building dreams on hope, TOOTHLESS LOVE challenged
up 26 points this turn to take on GOLD RUSH from SMITHSONIAN stable. But Fate isn't
always willing to be cheated, and TOOTHLESS LOVE was overcame by GOLD RUSH, and
SMITHSONIAN has not stopped laughing.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. The grave that LADIES IN WAITING
had dug for MISS TOOK may yet be filled with the body of WURM KIN. Seldom are the
likes of this to be seen. MISS TOOK lives still! A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ARKERS again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe
