DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Cheshire Moon stands and grins!
Hello Ladies! What's that? Men? Warriors, are you??
I was home in the wood, but it was quiet. Trappers from this city of Arkers have
emptied even Otherwood of big game. To fight them in the arena, they say. For glory,
they say. 94? Not many recognition points. Not much renown. Win? With 2 shields??
Glory??! Rather, I'd lose with the daring (and a flourish! And in the rain.)
Like little Miss Appropriate here. True story, and I quote: she "thrust forward with
an unbelievably deadly force" and I was "hit in the groin"! Naturally, I returned the
favor and, GLORY! 104!! Triple-digit renown, all of Alastari has heard my name!
There should be an award for the arena that has the most recognition total, average
per warrior, and highest renown! But win-loss ratio is the stat tracked. Do you see
the flaw? Can you see it? Must I grin and bear it?!
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ARKERS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for FELDSPAR, who flew up 25 points in the rankings after
mashing ALPHA like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in
the top ten was ALPHA, who dropped 24 points after a disappointing (to say the least)
bout with FELDSPAR. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles
was OTHERWOOD's CHESHIRE MOON, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by BARE
KNUCKLES. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARKERS arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad LADIES IN WAITING? Big bad LADIES IN
WAITING. Big bad LADIES IN WAITING. ARKERS' afraid of the big bad LADIES IN
WAITING. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: LADIES IN
WAITING + Weapons That go Boom = OTHERWOOD + Avoid City. Well just about everybody
wants a piece of DEIDRE, who was this week's most challenged warrior. In a touching
display by a 'touched' warrior, HAEDUS went after LUXOR, who was higher by 24 points.
Well, when the dust settled, HAEDUS was subdued by LUXOR.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Knowing when to use the right tactics at
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown
