DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The horses were even better than Avenging Antelope had hoped. They were top
quality mustangs--apparently running free and grazing off the land had agreed with
them. Sure, most of them were shaggy, surly beasts with bad attitudes, ticks,
abrasions, sore spots and whatnot, but they had spirit, strength and stamina. They
would make fine riding stock once they were broken.
And they would need them. Due to the state of the Dullens economy a number of
the larger remaining ranches were looking to trim their herds of cattle. AA had
managed to make deals with two of the best, the XXX and the Crossed Ts ranches to buy
150 head from each. That combined with the 200 head they had coming in from market
and they would be in business. The grazing land in Dullens remained the best quality
around, and the Satan's Kingdom land ran right up against two streams, providing
cool, clear water. If they could get their cattle out to pasture and put some weight
on them, they would have some prime beef ready to go to market in a year.
But the problem remained. The recruits were seemingly worse and worse, if that
was possible. They were neither suited to the arena nor the life of a ranch hand.
It was crazy.
Perhaps, however, he'd come across the reason for the problem. Apparently the
Dullens Town Council, a corrupt group of cranky old landholders, was not in favor of
the return of the arena. As if that made any sense. When the arena was running the
town had more commerce, more visits to town from the landowners, more trade, more
street traffic... When they had returned to Dullens it was a shadow of its former
self--a bustling, busy cow town with a thriving commercial sector. AA was hoping to
get the town back to where it was... Maybe the Council were afraid change would lose
them some of their pull.
One thing was for certain. They had somehow caused the youth of the town to
keep away from signing up at Satan's Kingdom. For now. But AA had an idea.

SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DULLENS will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as CARDOW HUNTERS is pushed out of top team by DAGGERS DEEP, who came
from 5th with a 3-2-0 this turn. DAGGERS DEEP stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0
into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work,
guys! And let's see, ROBERTO LEATHAM fought THE BRANK and gained 12 points and
contributed to HOUSE OF CARDS' 2-0-0. TAITHERAL has lost to BLOATED BEAVER, falling
6 points, while helping make DAGGERS DEEP a 3-2-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the
Duelmaster have failed, and AVENGING ANTELOPE remains DULLENS' top warrior for
another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources
that The Yellow Dog Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. THE CONFESSIORS has cause to stand
tall, as they were DULLENS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding THE CONFESSIORS more than any other team we find SATAN'S
KINGDOMS. DULLENS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover
or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in DULLENS and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the
