DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Looks like I'll finally be leavin this place. Not sure I like it. I kinda got used
to it up here. I suppose I turned out alright, even though many had their doubts.
It just goes to show you that even a dummy can learn one way or the other. I am
going to retire to be with all my pals and occasionally show up here to boo or cheer
you guys, gals...and things. Remember to be kind to one another, because our own
respect is all we're gonna get in this tiny circle of honor. -- Strada
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see
what's new. Like, TERMINUS had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot
by GREENWARDENS! Way to go GREENWARDENS! What was the name of that team who got
5-0-0 this turn for a total 523-656-11 you ask? (Sure) GREENWARDENS' their name,
and fighting's their game! MVP award for REDBIRD? GREENWARDENS' proud of her after
beating LUTHERAX and getting 15 points. Talk about yer big time losers! MIYAMOTO
got smashed by WENDIGO, and lost 9 points! Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the
most popular guy in all MALCORN. He got the most challenges. (But what about
proposals?) The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One!
SOMNAMBULANT knows this. He was challenged by the Duelmaster. Was that a tear I saw
in SOMNAMBULANT's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't STRADA fit to be
tied! Who was the wiseguy that said MALCORN's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at
Drake's Barbecue? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? DARK CREATION was MALCORN's most
avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are
TERMINUS? DARK CREATION, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to
accept an invitation! AVENGELINA must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair
fights. She challenged ISITWALENGCENGCE. 9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what
they tell me.) I thought AVENGELINA showed great skill and promise when she was
subdued by ISITWALENGCENGCE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MALCORN ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what? (AVERY vs. VARPULIS
RUKH, that is.) What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Avery -- You ever get the feeling that you're forgetting something? -- The Piper
P.S. Stumbling is part of my style strategy.
Alryn -- Well, what can I say? If they wanted a veteran fighting in a class of
rookies, I had to prove a point. I hope that your teammates receive a fair
replacement, and wish you luck on your travels beyond. -- Varpulis Rukh
Rock Maple -- Don't you have to go and take your medications? -- The Boss
Varick -- Just cause you won don't mean I have to like it! -- Avengelina
Redbird -- I thought I would have learned a few things from you. All I learned is
that you hit hard. -- Avery
Mossrock -- I'd say I acted more like the rock in that fight. -- Quasil
Avengelina -- I'm still cleaning the blood off my armor and my weapons. We certainly
gave the crowd a bloody show. -- Varick
Varpulis Rukh -- We all liked Alryn, looks like you are going to get to know us well
during the next few duels. -- The warriors of Terminus
Somnambulant -- Good job giving Miyamoto an ego. He doesn't talk, but he keeps
pointing at himself and making the number one sign. It's really quite annoying. --
Avery
Avery -- Why is it that when I look at you, I seem to see...office supplies? Labels,
ring-binders, all kinds of stuff like that? I like office supplies, don't get me
wrong, but in this context, well, it's a little surprising and a lot confusing. --
Redbird
P.S. Ah! It's got something to do with your day job, right? That's why you have
that surcoat with all the ads on it. Whew, glad I got that figured out!
Quasil -- Eyugh! Pardon me while I throw up. Too much turkey, I suppose, and my own
darned fault, since I don't even LIKE turkey all that much. Hmm. Is that stuff
you're pushing really better than plain old bicarb? Because maybe I should try it,
since there's another turkey LOOMING in my future. -- Mossrock
Bet Twice -- Fat lot of good THAT did me. I lost twice. Whoopee. "People" over
here keep asking me what I'm going to reincarnate as, and I tell 'em I don't know. I
know. I'm just THROUGH with this stuff. If I *have* to reincarnate, it will be as
someone who lives a long life and never hears a word about the arena. -- Ghost of
Rock Maple
Boss -- What's the good of calling yourself that when you can't make it stick? Or is
that why you're in the arena, to learn how to smack down those who don't listen to
you? I guess I could see that, and glad to teach you a few skills to help you. --
Wind Rider
Otherworld -- You got some kind of idea that *I* am a critic? No way! An observer,
yes, I'm really good at sitting around watching things, but a critic? Not a chance.
-- Stump
P.S. Besides, what have critics got to do with you? Otherworlds aren't like, well,
books or plays or something, they're BIG, they're whole WORLDS, you know? And worlds
just ARE.
Alryn -- I was having a bad day. -- Mossrock
Our congratulations to Strada, FINALLY graduating. -- Jorja and the Greenwardens
P.S. Okay, it hasn't been forever, but it surely feels like it!
Varrick -- In some towns, this is true. But we of Malcorn are so honest in general,
that thieves are hard to come by. We have to conserve them. -- Arenamaster Landon
P.S. Yes, we have to list a thief on our roster. It's in the arena charter.
Lord Protector Strada -- What Lord Malcorn does not see is why he should find lands,
possibly taking them away from someone else, for a gladiator who is leaving for the
Isle? I know this isn't YOUR fault, it's part of a plot by the Grey Witch to trick
us all into giving her title to all of Alastari worth having. You don't think she
lets you keep them, do you? The first time you die and get resurrected on the Isle,
you find out you've signed away your lands and don't even remember it, and when you
go to argue with Her--a few have, you can see them around in the form of rocks and
newts and the like--you just can't win. Your best friends will advise you not to
try. But we CAN give you a fine send-off party, and we would be delighted to do
this. Whole roasted ox, huge barrels of wine, all that stuff. -- Arenamaster Landon
