DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hmm, I would guess, Kool-Aid Drinker, that those attacks to your arm were my
attempt to prevent you from swallowing that disgusting stuff. You're much better off
without it.
Winter Shadows
P.S. Have you always been using that weapon, and I just didn't NOTICE? Weird.
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! DREAMERS? Who? SWEET MAGIC is the top team
these days, buddies! Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but HIGH
JINKS will tell you 275-251-17 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for TIDDLES,
who pummelled WILLIE THE RAT, to pocket 13 points. A certain someone should cut down
on the drinking and practice more, after losing 6 points to KUNG PAO. (Discrete
enough, HERACLITUS?) WINTER SHADOWS successfully staved off a grab for the roses by
KOOL-AID DRINKER of CULTS-R-US. Does RIZTAB have no one talented enough to dethrone
her? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead
trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are RIZTAB's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty
rumors, the guys in LUROCIANS IV are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to
avoid 'em. The warriors of LUROCIANS IV found their efforts at combat frustrated as
CULTS-R-US apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous
for fifteen minutes, and MISSY MOSSY is it right now. Most challenged warrior.
Isn't HIGH JINKS proud!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in RIZTAB is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid RIZTAB
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Boris the Black -- My, aren't you the tall one? And lucky, too, you're the FIRST to
get the benefit of my strategy change. I'm not sure I was lucky to get it, given the
way my manager works; that may be "all" my strategy changes for this year. But I
couldn't keep going with what I had. -- Corianelle
Sister Q -- You're just jealous because, being a golem, I am perfectly formed. Don't
be. This shape is a major burden. I have to brush the men off with a meat cleaver.
-- Tariliss
Madam Y -- What? When did you get into the "athletic association" business? Do sit-
ups and push-ups for you? No way! It's insufferable! -- Sweet Betsey
Molly -- Whoa, girl! Don't lead with your face. -- Tiannary
Our congratulations to Missy Mossy. -- Jorja and Sweet Magic
Lady Protector Missy Mossy -- Congratulations. I am delighted to see such a charming
young lady advance, not that I won't miss you in the night-spots of Riztab. But it
brings up the vexing question of "lands." I'm sure you will recall some of the
problems we've had lately with the "lands" question. Beginning with: we don't have
any. At least, not to be giving away. First Citizen Makrok has suggested that we
just take some of the adjoining forest. Oh, right, from the Shews who consider it
THEIR forest? I don't think so! We do, of course, turn up the odd (very odd)
magical device from time to time, and I would be glad to offer you such a piece, if
you are interested. I don't know what's in stock at the moment, but if you care to
come out to my place on the edge of town, we can go over the list, hmm? -- Spymaster
