DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
That's right, Stalking Horse, there can only be one stallion and I'm it.
You must go and seek fortune elsewhere, in an advanced pasture of which I've
only heard about. Best of luck to you, until of course, I get there myself.
Good thing you were immortal!
My challenges go out to a couple of lungers with more impressive records
than my own. Should I win against the one I get this round, I promise to double
challenge the other one next turn.
Lil E. Tee
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MALCORN, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in MALCORN, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--TRIPLE CROWN.
TRIPLE CROWN posted a nice gain, to come in 1st. Everybody loves a winner...
Practice pays for INCLINE, who pummelled PERSISTENT BEGGAR, to pocket 16 points. A
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 11
points to NYARLATHOTEP. (Discrete enough, ROTOR?) JAVOR found out that MALCORN isn't
a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior
seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from
the lion, so did the "warriors" in MALCORN avoid TRIPLE CROWN. As a woman of good
breeding scorns the "warriors" of DARK CREATION, so did that sorry team shy from
TRIPLE CROWN Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, DASHING is the most challenged warrior.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A
certain tavern in MALCORN would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in MALCORN is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid
MALCORN farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
This ad got misfiled last time around. I found it a mere five minutes too
late, but too late nonetheless. -- Ed.
Stalking Horse -- Movin' on to green pastures, eh? Congrats. -- Your fans from Triple Crown
Malcorn -- Hate to fight and run, but this team is being transferred to 54 for the
Slaughter Challenge. I might be able to squeeze in one more cycle and then we're
outa here. -- Stik and Steel Reign
Javor -- Very impressive. Seems your lack of height didn't adversely affect you. --
Charismatic
Lil E. Tee -- Serimna, that hurt! But if you had to kill me, you picked the right
time to do it. And I suppose it IS cheaper to travel to the Isle in a pine box than
sitting up and wanting meals and so on. But still...I could've passed up that
experience very happily. -- Stalking Horse
P.S. They tell me damage to the liver is harder to repair than ordinary bones and
muscles and that I shouldn't drink anything stronger than lite beer for the rest of
the year. THAT, I resent.
Xane Reaver -- (scowling) Nasty little fellow, aren't you? Go away. -- Greengrove
P.S. Not that you're likely to, after learning four skills from me. (sigh) It's a
hard life, and a harder possible death, being a good teacher.
Blackwind -- (hacking and coughing) -- Mayflower
P.S. But at least I didn't end up with flies up my nose. I hate that.
Mortikhan -- Ah, gods, not the sand! It's such a mess to clean up afterward. --
Wooden Arrow
Forever -- I was thinking more along the lines of the short term, myself. Maybe a
week or two, go fishing, something like that. Not forever. That's just too much. --
Oakleaf

I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
