DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I must say this is quite a surprise. I did not see that I was to become
Duelmaster so soon. I figured I would slowly rise in the ranks. Who will best me
and become my archenemy now? I know you are all coming for me, so I best train
harder.
-- Trake Darrows
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ZUKAL since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts
to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Hmmmph! I always thought DARK
WARDS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! What's with FREDDIE?
He actually beat CRIMSON DEATH's ATHOS, and walked away with 22 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at BLUE MOON while they watched BLUE STREAK clobber
DEBARROWS. He lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
MIDNIGHT was reminded on the sands why TRAKE DARROWS is Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be
nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses
of convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, CRIMSON DEATH! The
bums at PAPERBOYS couldn't face the challenges from CRIMSON DEATH! No excuse for
that!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a good
fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Midnight -- After all of my hard work to break that shield you hid behind, you hit me
a few times when I am exhausted and win the match. If I had managed a few more hits,
I would have won. -- Debarrows
Gladiatorial Officials -- I want opponents! Not this captured orc. Should have
killed this worthless creature when you caught him. -- Athos
And had the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Orcs on our necks? As if!
Blue Streak -- Sorry about the near death. I was in the moment. Hope you like the
get well card and flowers I sent to you in the infirmary. I can't have you die, I
learn too much from you. -- Trake Darrows
Blammo -- Glad you are leaving soon. Don't want to go another round with you. --
Glindora
Fratsfa Slave -- Your master should just kill you, you beg too often. -- Porthos
Verol -- "The great Blue Moon"? Are you talking about MY team? Ah... it waxes and
wanes. Yeah, that's what it does. Moons do. -- Jorja
Trake Darrows -- The advice would be good, if a "next time" were at all likely. But
I am retiring. -- Jed Tarran Dapp
Glindora -- Right! -- Blue Funk
Glindora -- You should be glad I didn't know I was supposed to carry a large shield!
I'd've smashed you flat. And I don't even LIKE large shields. -- Blammo
Trake Darrows -- That's what I was cussing, you bet. -- Blue Streak
Through the Window -- Weren't you supposed to learn something? -- Blue Funk
P.S. Jed said we should teach you skills. I *tried*, you know.
Body Language -- You elves speak a foreign language. -- Clarissa Teal
P.S. Like, what does it mean when you raise your right arm a little, keep the wrist
limp, and flick the little finger? I didn't get that signal at all.
Faerie King -- What kind of introduction to dueling was THAT? -- The Tall Man
