DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
That was a baby? It didn't smell like a baby. I mean, I know babies, they
smell like milk, one way or another, and they like to roll around and pull on my
ears. I don't mind that, it's part of being a family dog. But this Crack Baby... I
don't think so.

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TOBIR games. BUMPHELQUAT caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ZACK FAIR and was awarded 15
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BUMPHELQUAT put down
ZACK FAIR, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. This time
out TIPPI TURTLE made his bid for the throne as he challenged FLOPEAR in an all out
contest of skill for possession of the title! This time victory fell to the grasp of
the usurper. All hail TIPPI TURTLE, Duelmaster of TOBIR! Informants "close" to the
city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his
armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. THE DEATH SQUAD is feared. This
much I can say. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of F WORDS last week. Busy avoiding THE DEATH SQUAD? Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. YUFFY take warning! You have more
than a few enemies in TOBIR.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way
he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TOBIR. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

PERSONAL ADS
Norix -- I guess being a philanthropist isn't the same as liking dogs, is it?
Bummer. I was hoping for a dog-lover with a sense of fun, you know? -- Bigfoots
The Veteran Mercenary is a part-time DOG CATCHER! He said so! Of course I bit him.
What else could I do? -- Brown Bear
Arrnold -- If I hadn't had an input error, I might've done better. Or maybe not.
Hard to say. -- Bill Bitemore
P.S. I wonder whose strategy I got?
