DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm sorry, Sophocles, well, sort of sorry, but I'm just not "into" all that
highbrow stuff. I like cooking. Especially cooking sweet stuff. I might make you
baklava.
Carlotta
P.S. A halbard? I don't think so!
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Nothing is certain in RIZTAB, with changing loyalties, changing
Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--DREAMERS. Nothing works for a team
like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as CARDS can attest...
Practice pays for FISHMONGER, who pummelled DORA BELL, to pocket 15 points. KING
certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to JOY OF LOSING and
losing 11 points in the process! CARLOTTA successfully staved off a grab for the
roses by SHORT PETER of RIZTAB. Does RIZTAB have no one talented enough to dethrone
her? Word has it one team in RIZTAB is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a
charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in RIZTAB avoid THE UNDEAD. The warriors of THE UNDEAD found
their efforts at combat frustrated as DREAMERS apparently had more important things
to do than fight.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in RIZTAB would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Skeleton -- I *will* put some meat on your bones, if I have to *glue* it there. But
I think my empanadas will make a good beginning. -- Kissa Belle
Vampyr -- Blood is so... so *vulgar*. So meaty. Are you sure you couldn't be
satisfied with chocolate syrup? -- Dora Bell
Fishmonger -- Fish and sweet pastries just don't go together. That loss is yours,
even if the fight is a win for you. -- Donnamira
P.S. I've got a very promising variation on the basic cinnamon roll, but I figure
you're just not into that kind of thing.
Aspasia -- Is that why you don't speak? -- Fennelinda

There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong
arenas. When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct
arena number! It's easy for a finger to slip onto the wrong key. When the
receipt comes back, check again to be sure it went where you intended!
Vigilance is your friend, and mine too. -- the Editor
