DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Avenging Antelope stared in astonishment at the papers in front of him. The
gold flecked parchment gleamed in the noon sun as he unfurled the scroll and peeled
off the wax seal. He didn't need to read the words to know what they said--he had
received his invitation to the Isle Of The Eye. He was to report for his immortality
treatment and then join the team at the Dark One's training complex near the Free
Blades Memorial Colosseum.
It was a great honor. Only it wasn't what he wanted to do. He liked to fight
and it would be something he'd be happy to continue to do, however he was totally
committed to the ranch now and neither the arena team in Dullens nor the ranch
operations were in a state where they could be left on their own. None of the
recruits knew enough about dueling or even the basics of running a ranch.
At that moment, he knew what he had to do. There was a summoning scroll that
Tortured Trout, the guild wizard, had left for emergencies that was in the study. It
allowed the caster to get into contact with the Trout in the event that urgent
matters arose. AA went through the side door into the ranch and retrieved the
scroll.
Moments later a shower of glittering particles revealed the wizened face of
Tortured Trout.
'Eh? What is it?' the wizard seemed startled.
Avenging Antelope explained the situation and stressed the urgency of remaining
in Dullens.
Tortured Trout waved his hand and cut AA off. 'Request denied. You need to
report to the Isle as requested. I'm sure something can be done about the team in
Dullens. And we've done it before. Back in the day I ran the ranch myself, and
teleported back in between my fights in Free Blades or Primus. I've looked over the
official guild plans for you and they really only include some action in the Freshmen
tournaments, MAYBE as many as a dozen arena fights. We can work it out.'
Avenging Antelope thanked the wizard and closed the connection. He could fight
AND stay in Dullens. That was a load off of his mind. For some unknown reason he
was actually becoming fond of the recruits. They showed some promise and were
starting to put in effort.
It had been a good career here, now he could continue doing what he loved in
Dullens and still continue in his other passion--dueling. It was the best of both
worlds!
SPY REPORT
Good day, in DULLENS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as HARRY POTTER AND THE is pushed out of top team by SATAN'S KINGDOMS,
who came from 5th with a 3-1-1 this turn. SATAN'S KINGDOMS stable has parlayed this
turn's 3-1-1 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place.
Good work, guys! And let's see, INMATE OF ARKHAM fought THE BRANK and gained 24
points and contributed to HARRY POTTER AND THE's 1-4-0. THE BRANK has lost to INMATE
OF ARKHAM, falling 20 points, while helping make THE CONFESSIORS a 1-2-0 turn.
Defending his title for another turn, AVENGING ANTELOPE kept CARDOW HUNTERS' warrior,
DARKWIND, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that Arthur's Last Stand uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the SATAN'S KINGDOMS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on DULLENS, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided SATAN'S KINGDOMS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
SATAN'S KINGDOMS. Anyone surprised? In a brave attempt, ROBERTO LEATHAM from HOUSE
OF CARDS challenged up 25 points to fight RAMSHORN from the CARDOW HUNTERS stable.
ROBERTO LEATHAM perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he subdued RAMSHORN and
ended up with 95 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. I guess it was coming sooner or later, HARRY POTTER AND THE has lost FOWL
GROUPING, and DULLENS is bound to miss him. For a little while, at least. Arthur's
Last Stand declares a free round for CRAZED CANARY and all of SATAN'S KINGDOMS, for
having revenged HARRY POTTER AND THE's FOWL GROUPING for killing one of their
comrades. Is it really true that DULLENS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in DULLENS again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

female. Don't mess with me... -- C. C.
Darkwind -- Good fight. You were very close there. Unfortunately I only get
one more fight. Best of luck in the future. -- Avenging Antelope
Avenging Antelope -- Wow, I'm surprised to have fought you, surprised to have
lost... ah, who'm I kidding, huh? I guess that fourteenth win is what you were
waiting for. Congratulations! -- Darkwind
The Brank -- I don't often see an orcess that tall. Very impressive. --
