                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I am amazed, Sir Cumference!  I didn't realize I could dance that circle with
you.

                                   Persea Quell

P.S.  If you will accept that I did not utter that tasteless jeer in the heat of the
battle, I in turn shall accept that you did not scream so pitifully in the Infirmary.
Let us make a pact to respect each other.

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  KOLACT needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, THE MOONDOGS, 
but THE ABYSMALS was just too good to be stopped.  And I was just getting used to the 
ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome SIR CUMFERENCE.  Aren't SIR AGLIO 
proud.  (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't 
ask me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  Can THE 
MOONDOGS' ICARUS be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that 
really the same?  For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out GOLPE MORTAL 
challenged DEVIL GIRL.  After all, haven't THE ABYSMALS and SPRINGBORN had a long 
standing duel in KOLACT?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but DEVIL GIRL 
wants me to write about it since she lost to GOLPE MORTAL.  Satisfied?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Remember 
you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Icarus -- It's been more than 10 years since I last stepped onto the arena sands.
There's nothing greater than the roar of the crowd, though I need to recover before I
can return again.  It's not easy being an aging warrior. -- Hammer

Moor O'Ndul -- Hmmmm, now that could be construed as an implied insult. -- C.O.C.

Thiaoo Trigg -- Nice haul.  Not a bad first fight.  (could'a won)  But as it is we're
still shaking our pom-poms.  "Live and fight!" -- Miss Agnus
P.S.  Good battle cry, really gets the blood flowing, but I still prefer "Luck and
Skill!"

Espinoso -- Have you heard?  Don't let it get around but there are sand snakes, right
here in the Kolact arena.  Tread lightly, and keep your peepers peeled.  (down, look
down, they're not up here) -- Crazy Old Coot

Nestor Ordh -- I'm for agree'n that's some pretty fancy footwork...you taking your
act to the dance floor later?  Maybe gives the kid a few pointers, maybe? -- Buffalo
Bob

Odioso -- I dispense the goods from afar.  Devil powers. -- Devil Girl

Miss Agnus -- Bad matchup for your first fight.  You'll do better. -- Thiaoo Trigg

Devil Girl -- You are possessed by something evil. -- Odioso

Crazy Old Coot -- For an old guy, you're pretty good. -- Espinoso

Moor O'Ndul -- I've figured it out.  Kill, win, kill, win, kill, win.  Yup, if I kill
my opponent, I'm guaranteed a win.  O.K., sounds easy enough. -- Golpe Mortal

Convicted Thief -- You won't be robbing anybody anytime soon. -- Dawn Aranar

Shuleszar of Xochithlan, Master of Kung-Fu -- Perhaps you should go back to
Xochithlan, then, and teach Kung-Fu to those who would care to learn it. -- Cynica

Buffalo Bob -- You dance well, but let's save it for the women, eh?  We'd each dance
more happily with a member of the opposite gender. -- Nestor Ordh

Hammer -- Oh, gods, the Commissioners WILL do it.  Six feet tall, but you have a
beard, so you must be a dwarf.  I'd protest to them if I were you. -- Icarus

Gople Mortal -- (resentfully)  Well, THAT was abysmal of you.  Bad enough, but the
worst part is that Jorja's GLAD. -- Ghost of Moor O'ndul

Gople -- Of course I'm glad.  Moor O'ndul was an amazingly weak-willed lackwit. --
Jorja

Buffalo Bob -- This is true.  We both need dancing lessons.  For the rhythm, not to
mention the blues. -- Nestor Ordh
