DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Having finally graduated Ventriie (TP), and previously, Toreador (PL),
contributing towards The Consortium 1000 Lord Protector goal (now 938), it is time to
"close down" The Dark Wards. You may see Damien and/or Black Priest in Tempe 2013 as
they are promising "maxed-out" Initiatives.
Thanks for putting up with a Darkholmian style Consortium. It has been fun.
The Consortium Elders
P.S. We congratulate Ventriie on his 16th DM Title. He is not retired.
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. BODY LANGUAGE caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CLARISSA TEAL and was awarded 10
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BLAMMO put down
GLINDORA, causing her to lose 6 points of recognition in the process. Due to his
absence and inability to defend the throne, VENTRIIE has lost the title of
Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail TRAKE
DARROWS, Duelmaster of ZUKAL! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in
duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. MIDNIGHT take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in ZUKAL.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Jorja -- What happened to the great Blue Moon? I remember when Blue Moon was the
team to beat. -- Verol, manager of Crimson Death
Glad to have a manager name for your team!
Through the Window -- I thought you had learned your lesson the first time. Are you
hoping that the third time will be the charm? -- Debarrows
Jed Tarran Dapp -- You must have been too excited about gratuating because you were
not focused on our fight. Next time, do not celibrate early. However, congrats. --
Trake Darrows
Blue Funk -- I am shocked that I won. You just let me win, didn't you? -- Glindora
Lucifer -- Nobody told me I was going to fight the devil. -- Athos
Our congratulations to Ventriie, but don't let it go to your head! You may be most
successful here in Zukal, but on the Isle, you'll just be one of the crowd. -- Jorja
and Blue Moon
Ventriie -- And I, for one, will be glad to see you as one of THAT crowd instead of
this one. Uh, nothing PERSONAL, of course, it's a style thing. -- Blue Streak
Katana -- I'm not up to your weight. Ah, figurative weight! You're deliciously
slim, of course. Just... you're a Lady Protector, and I am so definitely NOT. --
Blammo
Trake Darrows -- Good work. -- Jed Tarran Dapp
Glindora -- Might you be kin to the wicked witch of the north? -- Blue Funk
Body Language -- I did NOT like those comments! -- Clarissa Teal
