DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hooray! I smote that little Missy Mossy down onto the sands, and in the process
achieved glorious redemption for the Waco Wonker, slashed down far too soon in the
prime of his mediocrity. [Waco Wonk PR 15-13-11-17-8-9-11 ad ex rip(-3) ex
parry(+4), continuing the not-so-glorious tradition of all PR's being hosed in rip.]
Waco was an odd bugger, strong in our faith but prone to reciting verse at the least
opportune times. I can remember once in the midst of battle the Wonker threw down
his spear, raised his eyes up to the heavens, and put all his faith in the one
above! Needles to say, he didn't win that one. The firmament must've been busy.
But no matter, his faith was strong, and his soul was as pure as a Dove bar. The
other .56 percent having to do with his unfortunate residency above a brothel. So I
dedicate this duelmastership to him, and lay this glorious victory at his feet.
Hoping the rotting stench doesn't make the glorious victory run away as quickly as a
sailor does when confronted with a positive pregnancy test. Wake up Riztab! The
here and now is here!! At least until something better comes along.....
Your Duelmaster,
Kool-Aid Drinker
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in RIZTAB since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! CULTS-R-US were a
bunch of dogs after DREAMERS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!
What's with MOLLY? She actually beat DREAMERS' PYTHAGORAS, and walked away with 18
more points from the fight. Laughs were big at DREAMERS while they watched
PARMENIDES clobber TIANNARY. She lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown
from the stands. I'm sure RIZTAB is excited about WINTER SHADOWS, the new Duelmaster
from SWEET MAGIC. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice to
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
HIGH JINKS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at RAINBOW WARRIORS ain't
reelin'! HIGH JINKS' mad!
Warriors of RIZTAB unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior has
met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good
skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Parmenides -- I've got to hold "old Mo" longer than that if I'm going to keep on
keeping on dispatching my game. -- Marlow
Kool-Aid Drinker -- Knocked me right off my perch. Good fight and may your reign be
brief but action packed. -- Missy Mossy
Corianelle -- Boss'sss frowning again. Missy says that's a good sign, but I'm not so
sure she's giving me the straight skinny. -- Molly
Brother Zoink -- I think we repulsed the crowd adequately. Leastways I was plenty
repulsive, but then I work at it. -- Repulsive Rogan
Sister Q -- Did we ask...? Ah, I see that Sweet Betsey did last time. So we can
wait for a possible answer on that. No rush, just searching for some topic of
conversation other than, "Good fight" or the ruder converse, "You suck." Well, hmm.
Not much in a one-shot fight to comment on, but I will just say that if you try
putting "all your weight behind the blow" on an icy day like this, you will get into
trouble. I grant you that the truck with the snowblade isn't taking it slowly and
carefully, but when you consider that this guy spends ALL DAY driving back and forth
scraping ice and snow off the back streets of this little town, you can see how he'd
get bored and maybe try to push the envelope a little. Although at that speed, the
envelope is probably trodden into the slush before he even realizes it's there. You
think I go on too much about the weather conditions? But it IS my season, you know.
-- Winter Shadows
Madam Y -- Somehow I just can't see you in a gym suit leading the girls' exercise
class at the Young Person's Nondemoninational Society. Not even an hour a week
(worthless for any serious student) of ballet lessons. Still, if that's what makes
your socks roll up and down, go for it! -- Tiannary
Brother Zen -- Sitting around drinking tea and asking each other riddles? NOT
something my brother would do. He's more inclined to getting together with some
friends and bashing each other's faces in. For many of them, this can't help but
improve their faces.... -- Sweet Betsey
Heraclitus -- Oh, rats, I thought you did haircuts! Sorry, I was all set to ask for
"just a little off the ends and then add some frosted highlights." Darn. I can't
find ANYBODY here who does Really Good Hair. All these Shews, you know? Braids and
bear grease. Ick. -- Tariliss
P.S. I'd worry about you being a gendered golem and thus Very Strange, but I'm one
myself (my mother refuses to explain how this happened), so I'll give you a pass on
that one. It probably wasn't your fault.
Molly -- It was a pleasure to meet you and trade attacks and parries. Well, trying
to trade them, it was too bad that neither of us had the ones the other was looking
for. I hear there's a place down on the lakefront where you can trade attacks and
parries, a sort of clearinghouse or, for the non-domestically-inclined, a collectors'
shop. You know, #3 Attack Skill: Veritable Wall of Blades, will trade for Second
Series Defense Skill #7: Curves Snakelike Out of the Way. That kind of place. We
cold go together, since They say that it's best to use the Buddy System down there.
-- Corianelle
The Megstr -- (overhearing) Very profound. Although I might point out that SOME
ghosts are in such a hurry to go that they leave dirty socks and stray bits of
ectoplasm all over the guildhouse. -- Jorja
