DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, you see how it is, Top Cat. These shoes are made for walking, or
alternatively, though I am no office boy, I kicked the cat. It came as a bit of a
surprise, none the less.
Blue Suede
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Advancing in the rankings was LETTER BOMBS who went from last turn's
98-94-8, to this week's record of 101-94-8. Hey everybody, watch out for RASTILIN,
who flew up 22 points in the rankings after mashing AZURITA like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was AZURITA, who dropped
16 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with RASTILIN. Well,
everybody's pal BLUE SUEDE moved his record to 12-7-0 by defeating HAMMER in the
Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 7 recognition points. Can you believe they are
paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. And who is this DENTINE you ask, with 19
points and a 2-0-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the ZUKAL giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown

Mackobin, Userous Merchant -- Ha! And also, Take that! Your money will do you no
good in the arena! -- Blue Haven, where the best things in life are free
P.S. Well, reasonably priced.
Mackobin, Userous Merchant -- After you lost to Haven, you should have stayed in the
Infirmary, because I don't like you a bit more than he does. -- Azurita
Cement -- Teeth? Very strange concept, cement teeth. Why? -- Steele
P.S. Not, "Why is it a strange concept?" but "Why cement fangs?" Inquiring minds
want to know.
T. Bone -- Next time, remind me not to bother trying to tenderize you but just to
slice and dice you without pause or hesitation. -- Melanccholio
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
