DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yes, it is me again, for the 4th and last time as Duelmaster. Now I have been
selected as a Lord Protector and will be leaving Arkers. Perhaps, in my final column,
I will tell you about me:
Born 11-15-9-17-17-5-11 WS (Good Endu, Norm Dmg; +4 Parry)
Bumped to 13 ST for good dmg.
17-2-0 arena, 12-12 in tournaments; 4 DM Titles
Skill Learn Rate is a massive 2.90
Did best with the GA at 25/110/17.
Faves yet unknown
With that, I wish you all well in the land of Arkers, which I shall forever call
my home.
-- Appalacia, 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. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week BROKEN SPIRITS went 3-2-0 to move up
4 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which THE CHOSEN managed
to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! MISS
DIRECTION caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully
bested PAX THE YUGE and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's
more notable duels, MISS DIRECTION put down PAX THE YUGE, causing him to lose 17
points of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight
this week as RADTEEF WAZGRIM boldly challenged APPALACIA in order to strive for the
Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has APPALACIA in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. No
confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using
magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARKERS "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! ARKERS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is THE OUTLAWS 2, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of BLOODY HAND CLAN 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 MISS MATCHED. Watch your back! UGARG SNOTSNIK must really be harboring a
grudge against the LADIES IN WAITING guild! Merciless, 43 challenged down MISS
MATCHED points this week to duel with he. The weight of the challenge fell hard upon
MISS MATCHED and predictably she lost to UGARG SNOTSNIK. This is how to arouse the
anger of an entire guild! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week,
it seems that ARKANSAS DAVE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized
LICKETY-SPLIT. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand ARKANSAS DAVE was beat by
LICKETY-SPLIT. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and
assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes
