DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ah, yes, Alourisienelle, part time Concubine, part time Assassin, also known as
the Venomous Concubine. Not a woman I'd want to spend the night with, but she makes
an interesting fight. All those curves... she seems to be going at LEAST three
different directions at once.
Bitterman
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ZUKAL, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! GUARDIAN KNIGHTS had cause to celebrate, after EAGLE
KNIGHT got 10 points by beating BODY LANGUAGE. Win some, lose some. Speaking of
which, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL was winsome, after beating BLUE STREAK and seeing him lose
16 points. Now I can't insult SHORT SKIRT, as she has gloriously dueled to the top.
Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team
in ZUKAL is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet
it works.
And how sociable are ZUKAL's warriors? Come, let us see. If challenges were
horses, OGRE BATTLE could open up a fast food joint! OGRE BATTLE found himself
challenged by a warrior 25 below: JEAN-LUC. JEAN-LUC of ASSASSINS GUILD kept his
wits as he was subdued by OGRE BATTLE.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in ZUKAL is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. ZUKAL, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at
The Blue Boar Inn. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Jed Tarran Dapp -- I think you're maybe a good fighter, I just had a run of bad luck
right now and I would like to step in the ring with you again. -- Eagle Knight
Bradly Gore -- I will see how your guys do in the arena. -- Crane Knight
Bradly Gore -- Okay, so long as you're not Andorian, I don't mind at all you being an
assassin. After all, as gladiators we train to kill, too, so getting paid for it...
almost sounds like good sense. -- Jed Tarran Dapp
Bradly Gore -- Are you sure you want that off-hand weapon? Not that I mind the win,
but it might help you to go with just the one. -- Blue Funk
Leviathan -- Ugly big sucker, aren't you? -- Jed Tarran Dapp
P.S. Anyone bigger than me is ugly, by definition.
I don't mind a win against the Userous Merchant. I think of myself as striking a
blow for consumers everywhere. -- Blue Streak
Huh, the Ambitious Guard made me look bad. It really annoys me when he does that.
No butter on his potatoes tonight! -- Blammo
Blue Funk -- OUCH!! that hurt. If I shall lose at least it was painful. -- Bradley
Gore
