DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
So I'll tell you about the so-called Lady King Nosferatu. (Not that many of us are
interested in hearing anything more about her, but....)
9(+1)-14(+1)-10-15-21-4-13 TP
Bonused endurance (ended great endurance, normal damage)
Parry Master, Attack Adex, Defense and Riposte Expert
Favorites -- Large Shield/Very Low/Very Low
Rumor has it she is retired. (Thank the dark gods!)
Ventriie, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for BLEU BONET, who flew up 13 points in the
rankings after mashing GLINDORA like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know,
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. GORES THEM HAMMER was bested by
MORAVIA MAUVE and drops 9 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but
bloody knuckles was ZUKAL's KHALHUMS DWARF, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by VENTRIIE. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try
and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ZUKAL arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad BLUE MOON? Big bad BLUE MOON. Big bad
BLUE MOON. ZUKAL's afraid of the big bad BLUE MOON. Tra la la la la! And you guys
like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause DARK WARDS beats feet every
time BLUE MOON smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a
piece of BLU JON, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Challenging down 25
points was BRUJAH. Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The
only way to clean up' pins. Definition of petty: BRUJAH subdued BLUETTE, a mismatch
of 25 points.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And remember, you can pick your
friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The
Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Bluette -- Thanks for making it so easy. -- Ventriie
Blu Jon -- Unbelievable? There was nothing unbelievable about my victory over you.
The best gladiator won! -- Gangrel
Kung-Fu Master -- One not only has to be a master, but one has to be GOOD. -- Brujah
Ace Zukal Hammerz -- Nice team on the move point gain. We didn't like it! -- The
Dark Wards
Ventriie -- Oh, thank the gods! I really didn't want to do a column again. Not that
it could be called a "column" last time, but still, the principle remains the same.
-- Bluette
P.S. You don't expect me to do one for YOU, do you?
Trake Darrows -- Obviously, not my day. That was well done on your part. -- Bleu
Bonet
Gangrel -- Just don't get too close to my wounds, okay? I might never recover. --
Blu Jon
Porthos -- You're too short, and you're also sinisterly left-handed. You may NOT
take me to the Spring Fling. -- Moravia Mauve
Hurts Them Hammer -- We would make a good pair, if we worked together instead of
against each other. What do you say? -- Blhu Murther
Nosferatu -- You must be blanking out from the pain as I swing from your nose ring.
-- Bluette
Brujah -- That lacks sincerity. -- Karolvingar, Demon at Large
As threatened, here is a current manager list for this arena. Let me know if
I've gotten anyone's name wrong! -- The Saint, keeper of lists
