DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Oh, hello! Greetings, one and everyone! Welcome to me! Homestar! Runner!
Homestar Runner. Um, what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the
only girl, I have the only propeller cap, and can run and jump and kick the highest
fastest and like nobody's business! If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it
would probably be -- fluffy-puff marshmallows. Or Homestar. They both fit!
In closing, I look good in red. Check it out.
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ZUKAL will ever be the same. And let's see, SWEET CHEEKS fought BLUESTOCKING
and gained 18 points and contributed to HOT STUFF's 2-2-0. FISHER KING has lost to
VASQUEZ, falling 12 points, while helping make BLUE MOON a 2-3-0 turn. The attempts
to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and HOMESTAR remains ZUKAL's top warrior for
another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Blue Boar Inn until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZUKAL and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Just wanted to let you know that we'll be returning your arena to you after
one more turn. My tourney hopefuls have been more or less dominating this place
while setting up for their next contests. Homestar will be fighting Champions and
Strong Bad will be an Adept. I'd like to thank everyone for not killing them while
they prepare. If they survive one more round then the drinks are on me at the Soggy
Bottom tavern! -- Otto X, manager of Homestar & Co.
El Caballo -- We really need to get more people in this arena, so we don't have to
fight you every time. -- Bisbee Blue
Silk Garter -- Well... I suppose that would hold my stockings up, if they needed it.
Seems a little, um, frivolous, though. -- Bluestocking
Vasquez -- It's the pits, isn't it? You look at the Infirmary food and get to
thinking you've made a career error, and you're STUCK with it. Not a job you can
just walk away from. Real bummer there. -- Fisher King
Strong Bad -- Yeah. But it's better than losing to a Weak Bad, that would be
embarrassing. -- Norther
Sweet Cheeks -- Entirely! What are you doing tonight? -- Bitterman
27 September 10
Note -- We are still looking for additional teams in Arvat, DM 32. I still have a
number of good team rollups available FREE for whoever wants one.
Contact the Devil Advocates ASAP to join the fun! You can either reach me by
diplo or on the RSI site.
Also, whoever sent me the diplo with no name on it requesting a rollup /
information on how to get into Arvat, I'm embarassed to admit that the diplo slipped
out of my folder and was lost. Please just send me another one with your mailing
address and I'll get a rollup to you ASAP. Sorry about that!
