DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Riztab!
Sleepy thought it was just a lucky break when I first claimed the throne. Now
that it's been several rounds, he's convinced. First thing I need to do is apologize
to Blue Note for the loss of the very talented Miles Davis. Guess I was so amped up
to be defended the title I got a bit more aggressive than Sleepy coaches. Also,
Prodicus asked me to send condolences to All Hallow's Eve on the loss of the skilled
warrior Heavy Metal Hero.
I've gotten word that this will be my last turn on the throne. Both Prodicus
and Antiphon are claiming they are ready. Something about them winning sparring
matches with me at the stable practices. Lucky for me one can't face their own
teammates in official action! :) Guess we'll see which of them steps up and gets a
title fight. Then we'll see if they're ready, or need a bit more seasoning.
A big Dreamers welcome back to Arena Felines who have returned after a lengthy
sabbatical. Let Catfish Hunter know he should be careful around the arena.
Xenophanes is extremely upset over the loss last turn and I wouldn't be surprised if
he made a rematch into a very bloody event. Sleepy can only coach so much and I know
Xenophanes isn't the best listener most of the time!
Hope everyone enjoyed the Halloween tourney.
Sleep well Riztab,
Critias
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RIZTAB! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ELLA FITZ caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested TAFFY and was awarded 13 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DUKE ELLINGTON put down JOE
MEOWER, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing
has CRITIAS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's
proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6
die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Let all swords of the city take heed!
By law, BLUE NOTE has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon CRITIAS for
the slaying of MILES DAVIS. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable
with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in RIZTAB as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
The Monk -- A chance meeting, perhaps, but it satisfies the public's demand for a
bloodfeud. -- Oriola
Scat Cat -- You can't HAVE that cream, I need it for my hot chocolate. -- Koko Leah
Dizzy Gillespie -- Oh, gods, do you know what a MESS it makes if a person gets dizzy
while putting together a batch of taffy? It'll take me WEEKS to get it out of my
hair. -- Taffy
P.S. You'd think I'd've learned something, wouldn't you? I was probably too...
involved with the taffy to pay any attention. Bummer.
Herbie Hancock -- And besides, if I were to use blue food coloring, say in some
ribbon candy, what FLAVOR would I associate with it? -- Lirodencra
P.S. Gods, someone seems to expect to use initiative and come UP with something.
But... blue, just not a food color, really. I suppose I could play around with
cherries and the ph balance.
Aedesia -- But, but, but... I don't DO that kind of philosophical debate! When I get
dreaming and "what-iffing," it usually ends up as a new variety of cookie. --
Teresiana
