DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Finally, I have managed to get my shot at laying claim to this throne. It has been long in coming, but when I had my shot, I did not miss it. It was a good fight, Orbin Paes, you were a proud Duelmaster and will make a worthy Lord Protector, but this one was mine. It was long in the making. My career began over 20 years ago. The last time a Viking sat on this throne was 1988. It was Stren-Thion, a Piker who held the throne for something like 10 straight turns. But then when my career was still young, Nomad decided to take "some time off." Some?! Seventeen years! For seventeen long years I was in limbo. Then, finally, the lure of sands drew him back. Back to Sunset! Back to Bonsur! To the new arena of Shadowspire! But what of his original arena? The arena that had first seen Nomad's warriors' blood spilt upon the sands? No, there would be no regular play for the Vikings! At least he did concede that I and the rest of the squad would get to fight "occasionally." Three years later that has meant 9 more fights on my ledger. And it isn't as if he is showering us with tourney appearances either. I believe I have had one since returning, although I'm not quite sure after that broadsword to the head. But I digress... After a long wait the time finally came to get my shot at the throne! And here I am. Surely Nomad wouldn't dare to sit out a Duelmaster would he? I have never known him to do such a thing before. At the least, I know I shall fight this turn. So who to challenge? Oh. Uhm. Where'd everybody go? It is looking a bit like a ghost arena up here in the champs. Helloooo! Anybody there? No challenges this time. Hopin' to be back here next time and continue fighting. Chagan, at long last, Duelmaster of Kolact SPY REPORT Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out KOLACT to see what's new. MVP award for SKYHAWK? VIKINGS' proud of him after beating LIA HOBERN and getting 18 points. Talk about yer major upsets! LIA HOBERN's match with SKYHAWK cost her a loss of 17 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! CHAGAN stopped VENOMOUS CONCUBINE dead in hers tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? THE MOONDOGS was KOLACT's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are VIKINGS? THE MOONDOGS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Like, is LIA HOBERN popular, or what? She was challenged the most in all of KOLACT! She's got a 6-2-0, is that good? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All KOLACT ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. 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.

Sadly, your absence leaves the upper ranks of the arena sorely lacking in opposition. -- Vikings An Assassin?! Here in Kolact? No wonder they dumped him in the arena to get taught a lesson! I was happy to oblige. -- Ciric Lia Hobern -- While I appreciate your curiosity about a ground hawk, it really wasn't necessary to ground me quite so hard to find out. That makes one for each of us. -- Skyhawk Moon-eye -- Perhaps it was cloudy again? Or maybe you should encourage your teammates to get up the rankings quickly so that I can beat up someone else? -- Hagar Bluetooth So what does it take to get your team name in something other than all capitals? How'd the Toons and baconators warrant such consideration? We aren't sure why the golems didn't capitalize them immediately, since the golems are generally very conservative that way, but the evidence on hand suggests that sooner or later capitals will be substituted for the lower-case letters. -- the editor Chagan -- I see I'm leaving the title in good hands. But there are too many "a" letters in that, and Jorja sprained the finger that types a, so maybe I should... nah, let Jorja sweat. It's good for her. -- Orbin Paes Skyhawk -- That's what happens when there's a low overcast. The ceiling of the sky comes down to meet the ground, and anyone trying to fly between the two gets in trouble. -- Lia Hobern Hagar Bluetooth -- I still think it might help if you undertook a program of dedicated mental hygiene. -- Moon-Eye P.S. I meant, DENTAL hygiene. Sorry. It's been that kind of day. Jerry -- Ha. Watch me laugh at you, Toon! -- Lunelle Merrin Tom -- Darn cat! Take that, and that, and that.... -- Ferrin Mondor LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SKYHAWK devastated LIA HOBERN in a action packed 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
