DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greengrove, I'm letting you off easy this turn as I've decided to let you have a
shot at the throne. Yup, it's true, I'm not fighting this turn. Some would argue
that my fighting style prevents me from EVER fighting. Then they haven't faced me.
While it's true I don't swing as often as many do, I usually beat my opponents by
doing damage...eventually. The throne is for your taking, or anyone else who wants
it.
Go And Go
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly MALCORN games. Former top team WEST COAST WARRIORS
was unseated this week as MEAT MARKET moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. AFFIRMED caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FOREVER and was awarded 23 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CONVICTED ASSASSIN put down
NYARLATHOTEP, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Due to
his absence and inability to defend the throne, GO AND GO has lost the title of
Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail
CHARISMATIC, Duelmaster of MALCORN! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6
die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In MALCORN "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. TRIPLE CROWN is feared. This much I can say.
Apparently the stalwarts of DARK CREATION 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
CLEAVER. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain the name of VAREKAI
who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 points below in the rankings.
I thought VAREKAI showed great skill and promise when she was subdued by COUNT KOMA.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in MALCORN 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

Pebble -- Good. That was fun. -- Fierce
OBMF -- ...hack...cough...choke..gurgle...spit. Please don't use the spiked side of
your hatchet next time. And I thought it was rough with the bladed side. -- Forever
Tree Shadow -- Don't be too proud of yourself. Just look at my glamorous record. --
The Count
Go and Go -- Have I ever told you how I feel about total parries? I DESPISE THEM! I
HATE THEM! I hope you all choke on the boredom you possess! However...you actually
use that scimitar, so I will cut you some slack, and save you any ranting I have on
the matter. Now go and curl up in a tiny ball and die, eh! -- Blackwind the sore
sport
Meat Grinder -- Go pound salt! -- Indemos
Sultan -- I must commend you on the outstanding job you do with your warriors. They
are some of the finest I've seen. Would you mind helping an old fellow manager out
with some advice on how to run the styles I run. Old school diplo would be great.
I'd wish you luck on the sands, but I think you have that taken care of. -- Zeus
Herbert Philip Lovecraft West -- Excellent turn, (521). Of course winning records
will bring challenges, and I hope you don't mind. I have a few select targets I'd
like to meet on the sands. -- Zeus
P.S. I thought Nya was the scary one...turns out ole' buddy Xane will be the one to
look out for, huh?! My sights are on him.
Charismatic -- You're such a compelling fellow that it always amazes me when I defeat
you. I guess you're an inspiration. -- Greengrove
Count Koma -- Ah, I don't think you're supposed to be going into a coma during the
fight? Either that, or you shouldn't have made me desperate. I get, well,
desperate, you know? -- Tree Shadow
T-Bone -- Darn, I forgot my steak knife. -- Jessalin
Fierce Tiger -- Gosh, yes! So scary! -- Pebble
Blackwind -- Very good fight. You almost had me. -- Go And Go
Greengrove -- You've beaten me now on our last three encounters. This turn, I
challenged you with a different strategy as my previous one was obviously not up to
the necessary standards. We'll see. -- Charismatic
Puppet -- I see now that Sultan hasn't seen fit to bloodfeud you for killing my
stablemate (pun) Lookout. So, without his blessing, here goes my true at it. --

It is with a proud heart that I announce the newest member of the Desolate Empire
alliance. Dok Sik will be known from here forth as Dark Knight Dok Sik, of the
Desolate Empire. May he be blessed with victory and courage. May his enemies' blood
