DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, Vasquez, what can I say? A bunch of good men and women haven't made it
back from the tourney. Which isn't to say they're dead, some of are probably just,
ah, sleeping off the party, so to speak. But with so many inactive in the upper
ranks, there was no one else for me to fight, mismatch though it was. The only thing
that really confuses me is that you didn't learn anything. What the heck? I was
demonstrating lots of good stuff.
Bisbee Blue,
From the Lavender Pit to you
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ZUKAL? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see FISHER KING win a fight and gain 10 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BITTERMAN
beat DRAKE and DRAKE lost 6 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the
spice of life, ZUKAL may be getting bland, as BISBEE BLUE stays top dog in the city.
The Blue Boar Inn, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get
this stuff? From ZUKAL's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in ZUKAL to get a drink than The Blue Boar Inn!
Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So
nyaaah! Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Kerby Ironfoot, Khalhums Dwarf -- No way! You can beat me till I'm black and blue,
well, you DID, and I still won't reveal the location of the Secret Fishing Hole!
Some things are darned near sacred. -- Fisher King
Kerby Ironfoot, Khalhums Dwarf -- Stop annoying my teammate. -- Norther
P.S. Besides, why would you want to know where the Fishing Hole is? Dwarves don't
fish!
We do, too, fish! -- Kerby Ironfoot, Khalhums Dwarf
Hicks -- Well, I suppose a golem can't be expected to recognize good sense when
offered, and the gods know we do appreciate the wins. -- Bitterman
P.S. Are you guys training skills at all?
Serpent 2 -- How awful! Except... how DOES one neuter a snake? -- Bluestocking

WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!
Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011. It will be
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as
last year by popular request. Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet. There's a fitness center,
jacuzzi, and pool. The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22
before the block is released! (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.) Look for the tournament info
sheet and minioverviews some time in December. We hope you're all looking forward to
it and that we will see you there!
