DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hume -- A titanic encounter that left the crowd breathless. Be talked over and
analyzed for years to come. Parry, thrust...all that jazz. Good fight. Love them
master ratings, too. <grin> -- Krankykarl
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly RIZTAB games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week DREAMERS went 3-2-0 to move up 3 in
the rankings. BIG SHRIMP caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested DEXTER and was awarded 31 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, BIG SHRIMP put down DEXTER, causing him to lose 22 points
of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight this
week as HUME boldly challenged KRANKYKARL in order to strive for the Duelmasters
honors? This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail HUME,
Duelmaster of RIZTAB! Would you believe that over half of the old women in RIZTAB
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city RIZTAB. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in RIZTAB these
days is THE UNDEAD. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. If you
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of STEEL
THUNDER last week. Busy avoiding THE UNDEAD? Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. HUME take warning! You have more than a few enemies
in RIZTAB. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
BONE YARD posted a challenge against the more highly recognized MISSY MOSSY. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BONE YARD was bested by MISSY MOSSY. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? This week marked the last days of MANGY POLECAT who at 8-8-2 was
dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of HIGH JINKS' demanding management. My
sources at ICE AGE stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a
result of the untimely demise of BROTHER BASH. Beware GHOST! 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? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
All -- In the name of holidays everywhere...from a fav of the celluloid nature, may I
present Big Joe's Big Toe. -- Jondeaux
Ironstorm -- Well BFed. -- Mangy Polecat
Leibniz -- Bah! Knees-bent advancing behavior. You is a mutton-head and that's all
there is to it. -- Missy Mossy
Hurricane -- How's for that new look? Being a natural ambi I wonder what I lose. --
Dexter
Bullhog -- Curious, I would have expected you to be a result of somebody's lab or
magical cauldron. Of course, you are a golem, so maybe that counts. -- Winter
Shadows
P.S. Do you go "ribbit ribbit" very loudly?
Skeleton -- It's true you're thin, but I wouldn't call you skeletal. Not quite.
Still...go for the high calorie foods, especially the fatty ones. Bread dripping
with butter, pizza with extra cheese, enchilada with sour cream, all that good stuff.
-- Tariliss
Bone Yard -- Drat. I kept kicking bones out of the way in order to get to you, and
there kept being more bones in the way. An endless supply, in fact. And the hip
bone wasn't even connected to the thigh bone or anything! Very untidy. -- Sweet
Betsey
Brother Bash -- You know, we shouldn't either of us let the Commission do this to us.
We aren't Shews. I'm not, you're not, and anyone but a certified idiot (all the
Commission employs, I'm sure) would see that. -- Tiannary
Vampyr -- Gods, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at the beginning of the fight. It
was your red hair and your ritual grimacing. Quite good grimaces, mind you, but
combined with the hair, well, I just lost it. Of course, you took your revenge by
defeating me, so I suppose we're even, but...I just didn't want you to think I was
scornful of you. -- Corianelle
Missy Mossy -- (blinking in confusion) Er...right. Naturally. -- Sweet Betsey
Ranfnagud -- Damn. -- Motta the Knife
P.S. Hey, I can't be eloquent until I recover.
