DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hmmmm, where to begin. I could tell you of the dark depths which my life began,
the eternal everyday struggle for life. It was by no means guaranteed that I would
survive. In those dark days past I happened upon the "sharp ones," as I called them
back then. Sure, you could say I didn't actually find them--maybe they found me. I
call them Taj and Sikil. How did I come upon those names? Perhaps they were spoken
to me; I do not recall, it was dark back then. It is enough that they helped me live
and prosper here in Zukal. I have fought many hard battles and faced dangerous
opponents here on the sands. With great humility I accept the title of Duelmaster of
this great arena.
Special thanks for my accomplishment goes out to my teammates. Without their
help I would not be here. Stillgard, you have my eternal gratitude for finding me.
Zukal! See me now!
-- Ardsheal
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ZUKAL. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for
WATSON, who pummelled THE TALL MAN, to pocket 21 points. GALILEO certainly had a
baffled expression on his face, after losing to KWEE ZUN ART and losing 10 points in
the process! Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by RECOIL, of
SERPENTS HOLD 3, who despite a 14-5-0 couldn't overcome ZUKAL's Number 1. Word has
it one team in ZUKAL is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.
I'll bet it works.
So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of RED FURY, alone and unchallenged. Like a pup
with its tail between its legs, DEVIATION scurried away from RED FURY. Oh, the
shame!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen
into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. ZUKAL, I
leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Blue Boar Inn. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir
