DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My fellow Riztabans (or is it Riztabi?),
It is a great honor to once again sit before you as the duelmaster of our fine
city. It was a hard fought duel for my opponent last turn. The main fight started
after our duel was over...that is, the fight to make sure Lorimera did not bleed out!
Better luck next time toots...remember...it's better to try and dodge a lomgsword vs.
parrying it!
Looks like we have some new blood this turn, and that new blood is of the same
fighting style as me...that means we are destined to fight, so why try and delay it?
I suppose Sea Dogs could BF...does not look like they have a great candidate for that
though, guess we'll have to see what happens!
Good luck in the duels this turn my fellow, Riztabbers!
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt RIZTAB will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for
there are sorrows to drown for GUESSING GAME, whose 0-2-0 this turn dropped them by 5
into 8th. CARDS stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-0 into a 7 space move up the
rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
THERAMENES fought MILES DAVIS and gained 18 points and contributed to DREAMERS'
4-1-2. MILES DAVIS has lost to THERAMENES, falling 17 points, while helping make
BLUE NOTE a 2-3-0 turn. Well done, RIZTAB, the Duelmaster was this turn's most
challenged warrior. Perhaps TWISTED CLOWN is not as thrilled, being challenged 2
times. BLACK HEART challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to
dethrone ALL HALLOW'S EVE's warrior. And not without some honor, BLACK HEART now
claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of RIZTAB. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging Aardvark uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in RIZTAB and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Twisted Clown -- Well, of COURSE I was bad. That's the thing with small arenas, even
second-rate gladiators get a reasonable chance to be duelmaster. -- Donnamira
Twisted Clown -- So, you have tourney fights? Meaning you're a tourney warrior and
likely to vanish afterward? I could live with that. Nothing personally personal,
but... I could live with that. -- Lorimera the bruised
P.S. I mean, being one-shotted is so embarrassing! Although only getting one skill
is even MORE embarrassing.
Decomposed Cop -- You again? Yuck-OH. -- Kittyhawk
Bowser -- What a thrilling introduction. Ouch. I think I'll just go eat chocolate.
-- Koko Leah
Xenophanes -- Can I hope that beginning with a loss is not going to set up a bias? --
Nandi Kenna
P.S. I feel sure there's some exotic sweet waiting to be extrapolated from your
name, but tonight it escapes me.
Bob -- Oh, good! I really needed a win, and to get the only one on the team, that's
great! Thanks. Could I offer you a candy apple? For some reason, you make me think
of caramel-coated apples. -- Neana Polita
