                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     That was a bit of a surprise, Floydriffic, but I'm not arguing!  I wonder if
that elbow shot would be more, ah, call it generally successful than I have thought
before now.  I hadn't pursued that line, elbows are so SMALL, after all.  I tend to
go for larger targets as being harder to miss completely.  Or maybe your armor was
not up to the finest standards today.  Whatever the reason, I'm glad to have the
title.  And I salute you, Lord Protector.

                                    Blackbuck

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in DULLENS!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Too bad, CARDOW HUNTERS, but 
ARCANE ROYALTY was just too good to be stopped.  MVP award for ADELITA?  ARCANE 
ROYALTY's proud of her after beating GOLDENEYE and getting 23 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  GOLDENEYE's match with ADELITA cost him a loss of 19 points!  Oh, wow, 
like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all DULLENS.  He got the most 
challenges.  (But what about proposals?) FLOYDRIFFIC thinks his 23-15-0 and studly 
character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster.  Any bets?  And I was just 
getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome FLOYDRIFFIC.  
Aren't ARCANE ROYALTY proud.  (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said DULLENS' 
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Sleepy Smithy?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  MMM BEER! was the most avoided team.  Is a 5-1-0 record really that 
scary?  I don't know what ARCANE ROYALTY's been doing.  They certainly haven't been 
accepting many fights from MMM BEER!, that's fer sher.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All DULLENS ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  Hey!  Quit laughing!  Just because GALLACHER had 6-5-1 was 
no reason for ARCANE ROYALTY to send him to the Dark Arena!  Stop it!  Fight, fight, 
fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
