DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Blhu Murther, I'm as surprised as you are.
Saffira, please don't kill me.
Eighth Mate
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZUKAL this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
BLUE MOON is pushed out of top team by SEA DOGS, who came from 2nd with a 3-0-1 this
turn. And let's see, LIP GLOSS fought BLHU MURTHER and gained 41 points and
contributed to HOT STUFF's 2-1-1. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have
failed, and EIGHTH MATE remains ZUKAL's top warrior for another turn. By the way,
was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Blue
Boar Inn?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. BLUE MOON has cause to stand tall, as
they were ZUKAL's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided BLUE MOON stable the most? Believe it or not, it was HOT
STUFF. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was BLUE MOON's
warrior BLHU MURTHER. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
In a brave attempt, BIKINI from HOT STUFF challenged up 21 points to fight
BLUESTOCKING from the BLUE MOON stable. BIKINI perhaps got hers just desserts,
seeing as she won victory over BLUESTOCKING and ended up with 26 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. BLHU MURTHER has departed ZUKAL,
leaving BLUE MOON without their 23-24-0 warrior. Question, just what was his team
doing at the taverns last night? Is it really true that ZUKAL has more dishwashers
per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ZUKAL again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
