DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Avenging Antelope squared off against three training masters in the middle of
the arena. To keep his edge, he had taken to fighting two or three opponents at a
time. Sometimes he won, sometimes he lost, but it tested his skills to their limit
and beyond, allowing him to maintain his form and abilities.
The first master, armed with a spear and shield combination, moved in paralel to
the Duelmaster, while the one armed with the longsword rushed to the attack. The
third master, equipped with dual hatchets, circled around to try to get to his flank.
Avenging Antelope ducked and sliced at the longsword wielder, arcing his
scimitar upward. It sliced along the ribs of the weapons master, scoring a hit and
eliminating him from the contest.
Knowing that the first master could not resist attacking when he showed his
back, AA twisted again so that his scimitar whipped around behind his head and heard
the clang as he parried the short spear attack without ever seeing it. He leaped
forward, driving the hatchet master back and moving away from the spear master, then
turned and rushed back to engage the spear master. One, two, three blindingly fast
attacks he rained down on the trainer, before he slipped past the shield and scored a
pair of hits, one on the man's left arm and one on the right. The second training
master was out of the fight.
Before he even had time to turn, the shadow of the third master indicated that
he was moving in to attack. Instinctually, AA threw himself to the side, just
avoiding a blistering hatchet combination. He then leaped back up and began to stalk
the hatchet master. After a series of back and forth clashes, the Duelmaster, now
tiring swiftly, managed to land a swift cut to the master's left hamstring. As his
foe went down, AA bowed and walked away, already pondering the tasks ahead of him.
Bloated Beaver had managed to get himself killed, leaving him with the one raw
recruit and one prospect who passed the tests and was waiting for his interview.
Avenging Antelope had a lot of energy, but even he could not be expected to run a
ranch and arena team by himself.
Things had to change. And fast.
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
DULLENS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see CRAZED CANARY win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
CRAZED CANARY beat STORMBIRD and STORMBIRD lost 8 points. You're breakin' my heart.
And if variety is the spice of life, DULLENS may be getting bland, as AVENGING
ANTELOPE stays top dog in the city. Your Humble Abode Massage Parlor, humph! I've
tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From DULLENS' trash
dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? SATAN'S KINGDOMS was the most
avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led
the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was
SATAN'S KINGDOMS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, THE BRANK was this
turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for DULLENS'
morgue. More variety. And now a passing thought on a warrior dying young (ROBIN
DYAN of HOUSE OF CARDS): You had your chance and now you're dead. Oh well...
Seriously now, is it really honorable for SCOURGE from THE CONFESSIORS to kill ROBIN
DYAN and give HOUSE OF CARDS the chance to bloodfeud? Mmmm, could be. Titanium
shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of
weapons?
What does the DULLENS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Haerdius Grapp -- Aww, heck, I should've known a guy with a name like that couldn't
be turned aside with a soft word. -- Soft Rock
Avenging Antelope -- Nothing like old friends, familiar faces, eh? -- Ramshorn
AHHHH! That Toodles Enslaved character. I hate him. Even when I defeat him. --
Darkwind
Sundi -- Well met, I had begun to fear that the only females I could meet here would
be, ah, not terribly attractive. "Groupies," I think they call them--quite
unattractive behavior. I could perhaps enjoy taking you to dinner somewhere quiet?
-- Blackbuck
If I was Bruce Lee, I'd've strangled that Brother at birth, or shortly thereafter. --

Ah, no! The Bloated Beaver dead? Now who's going to dam the stream for us to make
that swimming pond? -- the Cardow Hunters

All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
