DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am certainly surprised to be here.
Since Lip Gloss challenged for the throne the turn before, I just assumed that
she wanted the thing. Apparently not. She had the throne, a free fight, the works,
but she decided to take the turn off. Of course, I'm as happy as a clam. She's got
quite a bit more tournament experience than I, and on top of that, she is most
certainly not a rat. The fight would have been outside of my comfort zone.
Not that I'm all about rats; it's just a good job to fall back on. You wouldn't
believe the rat problems that ships develop. For any aspiring gladiators out there,
I wouldn't rule out an apprenticeship as a ratter. Its not such a leap from hitting
rodents with a stick to hitting people. Not a big leap at all.
Rat Catcher
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ZUKAL.
Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We now have a
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. BLUE MOON now holds the crown and
they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for VOODOO SKUNK, who
flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.
SHADY SHIPWRIGHT was bested by HOMESTAR and drops 7 points. It's a proud day for the
HOT STUFF stable, as their warrior, LIP GLOSS, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. An
apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ZUKAL arena. Did you
hear that BLUE MOON was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of BLUE MOON's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause SKI-BUM 9 beats feet every time BLUE MOON smiles
at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this BISBEE BLUE you ask, with 75 points and a
20-13-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, BILBO BAGGINNI went after BISBEE BLUE, who was higher by 23 points. Well,
when the dust settled, BILBO BAGGINNI won victory over BISBEE BLUE.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZUKAL have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Bilbo Bagginni -- Well, I had to mosterize you. The way you were singing in your
bath was an offense to music lovers everywhere, not to mention the horrible way your
voice echoed in the bathhouse. -- Bisbee Blue
I find this whole "embezzling scribe" business ridiculous. The fool is barely
literate. -- Bluestocking
The Osksi Noble is a golem? Is this for real? They really have golem nobles in
Osksi? I mean, I'd believe it of the Andorians, but surely the Delarquans have more
sense? -- Norther
Lacey Greengills -- Wow! I hate to say it, but you're too much woman for me. --
Fisher King
Maxine -- Well, I had to make sure you took me seriously, didn't I? Before asking
you out to dinner? -- Blue Devil
P.S. Damn, I've been found out! The Commission has publicly branded me as
trustworthy!
9 February 10
All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
-- Fizban the Famous
