DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Very strange, I lost to Kalli Elisabeth last time and she took the title. Now
she isn't listed as fighting... tourney timing, perhaps? And I have the title... and
an expectation that the Crazed Canary will come along and take it from me if he can.
That's life in the arena, though: You think you know what's coming next, and get
sideswiped by something else instead.
I know there's been a tendency for the Duelmaster to speak of "life behind the
scenes," and I would be glad to do so, except it's so boring. I guess Uncle Wolf had
his reasons for going off and leaving Jorja in charge, but I wish he'd come back.
Yeah, okay, as my graduated teammate Darkwind has just reminded me, there's plenty to
complain about when the old man is here, too. He keeps throwing us into adventures,
for one thing. Which is where is now, last I heard, off somewhere driving Redfox to
feats of horrible action. I hear that the *writing* has paused, but I bet the
adventure just goes on and on. Maybe we could get the writing started again, with
episodes here, as well? After all, Redfox graduated from Dullens, so we've got an
interest, even if it was years ago.
Ramshorn
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of DULLENS! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with LITTLE FOX? She
actually beat THE CONFESSIORS' SCOURGE, and walked away with 12 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at HARRY POTTER AND THE. POORLY KEPT SECRET lost 9 points to
MORDANT SALESMAN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe POORLY KEPT SECRET will
provide more easy wins... Try as he might, DRUNKEN GUARDSMAN wasn't good enough at
persuading RAMSHORN to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters
with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being the most challenged warrior, SOFT ROCK! Don't make idle boasts,
they may come back to haunt you. Keep challenging up 28 points, TERRY JAMES, and I
won't have to write about you much longer. STONES always accepts those kind of
challenges... TERRY JAMES found one way to advance: challenging STONES and losing,
but getting 1 points. No brain, no pain.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
We're still a turn behind on getting the fights. Bummer, but there it is. We'll do
what we can with the e-newsletter. -- Jorja, Cardow Hunters
Locked Room -- Locked no more! I have unlocked you with the grace and skill of
Alexander untying the Gordian Knot. -- Ramshorn
Death -- It says here that I have vanquished, no "demolished" you. This is good. In
fact, it's very encouraging. -- Blackbuck
How could I prevail against a golem Impersonator? It was a horrid thing. -- Little
Fox
Scourge -- Oh, good! I've been practicing with scourging powder, you know. We'll
soon be able to see the sink! -- Stormbird
Stones -- How exciting. At least, I think it must have been exciting. It says
"action packed," anyway. I can give you a more detailed reaction if I ever actually
see the fight report... and if you want one. -- Soft Rock
