DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My recommendation is that the loser must write a DM column praising the
Duelmaster. And if you cannot hack that, don't challenge me!
On a separate note, I must ask my manager why Brujah is participating in The
Great Face, while, I, Duelmaster King Nosferatu am not? Why send the 2nd team?
King Nosferatu, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZUKAL, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but ACE
ZUKAL HAMMERZ comes out of nowhere to get 4-1-0. What does the future hold? Watch
this space... CRIMSON DEATH had cause to celebrate, after GLINDORA got 18 points by
beating BLEU BONET. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL was
winsome, after beating BILL HALL and seeing him lose 14 points. NOSFERATU
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by BLUETTE of BLUE MOON. Does ZUKAL
have no one talented enough to dethrone her? Word has it one team in ZUKAL is using
psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
And how sociable are ZUKAL's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the warriors
of BLUE MOON should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like
a pup with its tail between its legs, DARK WARDS scurried away from BLUE MOON. Oh,
the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and BILL HALL is it right now.
Most challenged warrior. Isn't BREWERS proud! TOREADOR found herself challenged by
a warrior 18 below: EL CABALLO. EL CABALLO of BREWERS kept his wits as he was
bested by TOREADOR.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Questions are being
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in
ZUKAL would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in ZUKAL is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Ventriie
Khalhums Dwarf? Ho hum. -- Nosferatu, Duelmaster

Gangrel
P.S. You can also try praying to the RUGS
