DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm not actually sure what a Warthog is, except that it isn't something we want
hanging around here. So, you know, I drove it off. This was my clear duty, and I
did it.
Flopear
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TOBIR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. In one of the week's more notable duels,
NORIX put down BIGFOOTS, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process.
Not for nothing has FLOPEAR in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and
this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources
claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed
weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In TOBIR "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! TOBIR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names
of thy guilds is THE DEATH SQUAD, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Apparently the stalwarts of F WORDS are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
BIGFOOTS. Watch your back! TIPPI TURTLE must really be harboring a grudge against
the F WORDS guild! Merciless, 19 challenged down FRISKY points this week to duel
with he. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as FRISKY was bested by
TIPPI TURTLE. Is this what passes for courage in TOBIR? A match that raised a few
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that THE BUTCHER posted a challenge against
the more highly recognized FLUFF. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand THE
BUTCHER won victory over FLUFF. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
I can not but mention with disdain the name of WARTHOG who this week posted a
challenge to a warrior a full 12 points below in the rankings. I thought WARTHOG
showed great skill and promise when he defeated FUSTIGATE. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My hearty congratulations FABLE, for thy
revenge upon STALLONE, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time he will know better,
eh? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets
enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in TOBIR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
