DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
You may be flattered to know, Lip Gloss, that I used a special strategy for you
last turn. I'm relieved to still be here, frankly. Now that Saffira is back up in
the Challenger Champs, I'll be issuing her a challenge, as I don't relish the thought
of a Lip Gloss rematch.
My apologies for not penning a column last turn. The first through seventh
mates had all fallen ill, so I was left in charge.
Eighth Mate
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ZUKAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, SEA DOGS, since SERPENTS
HOLD took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see BALISONG win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, BALISONG beat BLUESTOCKING and BLUESTOCKING lost 6 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And if variety is the spice of life, ZUKAL may be getting bland, as EIGHTH
MATE stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I
telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, ZUKAL?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. ZUKAL,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. HOT STUFF the most avoided team? What
insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was SEA DOGS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, SAFFIRA was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that
ego swell, sports fans.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... KINGFISHER,
a glorious 9-8-0 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad BLUE MOON. Honor is like a
chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless
rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
Serpents Hold -- Welcome to Zukal! It's nice to see a fresh face here. -- One Armed
Bandit, mgr of Sea Dogs
Coal Backer -- Well, I can answer Kingfisher's question, you do NOT go "beep beep
beep" when you back up, you go "ow ow ow." Which seems more reasonable anyway. The
ideas some of these young kids get! -- Saffira
Really, it'd make more sense, a little more, anyway, if the Fratsfa Slave was
Fratsfan. Yeah, I know what they say, that he was enslaved BY the Fratsfans, but
they really buy into the Andorian thing over there, you know? I somehow don't
believe this. -- Bisbee Blue
Rat Catcher -- That's your day job, right? I would've thought it would pay well
enough--lots of business and all--that you didn't NEED to fight in the arena. --
Kingfisher
There's a label on the back that says "Osksi Noble Mark 11, patent pending." I
suppose what with the arenas liking to have an Osksi Noble on hand, the gods know
why, there IS a market for them. -- Bluestocking
Asp -- Ah, there's no holding you! -- Norther
