DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, it took my first and final Duelmaster title to get me a graduation notice. Will
I miss you all? Probably not. I am all fought out and ready to swim and golf the rest
of my "immortal" life away.
Before I go, let me give you history in a brief fashion:
9-10(+1)-10-17-21-10-9 Lunger
norm endu and great (bonus) damage
+4 parry, +1 attack
masters -- decise and Initiate, adexes -- attach and defense
12-5-0 arena, 1 DM; 26-15-0 tournaments, 1 TV
best weapon seems to be the LO, of which I am short ST and DF
I will leave the Crown to whomever as I take a final shot at the DA. Good luck to all
of you.
-- Pearl Harbor, DM
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Coming up with a solid 4-1-1 outing, BROKEN SPIRITS has advanced 4
places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for TAZRAK, who flew up 16 points
in the rankings after mashing POLITE BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was MARTIN LUTHER, who dropped 11 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MODEL T. Unlike most arenas,
PEARL HARBOR managed to get hers challenge off against the 0-0-0 SHEWISH GIANT.
Well, everybody's pal PEARL HARBOR moved hers record to 13-5-1 by defeating SHEWISH
GIANT in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 2 recognition points. 4 out of 5
gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid BLOODY HAND CLAN, please raise you hand. Wow. Does ARKERS really have that
many liars? For those of you who like math, try this one: BLOODY HAND CLAN +
Weapons That go Boom = LADIES IN WAITING + Avoid City. And who is this MALLAFAX you
ask, with 107 points and a 10-14-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Well, it
looks like MISS MATCHED wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so she went for broke by
challenging up 37 points. No guts, no glory. Trading many whacks on the head and a
loss for 3 recognition points, MISS MATCHED shows that a gal doesn't have to be good
to get places.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! PEARL HARBOR defied all odds and
slew SHEWISH GIANT in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as
SHEWISH GIANT's meat is notoriously tough. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARKERS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la
bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
