DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm honored to hold the Iron Throne this cycle as the passing of the title
between Stonebow and Terminus continues. Looking across the sands at that Shewish
Giant is always more than a bit unnerving especially when you've felt the pain of one
of his critical attacks.
Well fought, Stonebow, we'll probably cross blades next week.
Avery
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of MALCORN. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. DARK CREATION had
cause to celebrate, after TERRASQUE got 34 points by beating QUASIL. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to
POT OF GOLD. (Discrete enough, MORGUE?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by STONEBOW, of GREENWARDENS, who despite a 17-22-0 couldn't overcome
MALCORN's Number 1. Word has it one team in MALCORN is taking speech lessons to try
to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Is it charming personality?
Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SOURWOOD is the most
challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! The warriors
at TERMINUS stable were more sober than usual, after MIYAMOTO's demise at the hands
of QREATED. QREATED, don't make any long term plans! SWORDMAGE of DARK CREATION
spared JIM (12-10-0) from having to lose any more fights. What's your next plan,
RAINBOW CONNECTION? Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. MALCORN, I leave you
now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern. 'Til next
time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Terrasque -- I thought you'd be bigger. -- Pot of Gold
Honeysuckle -- Take that hippy! -- Jim
Silver Ghost -- Hey, you're pretty good! -- Steve
Bobcat -- You lose so often, I've run out of insults. I'll try harder if I beat you
again next week. -- In the Dark
Esrever -- "Excitement spreads among the stands", maybe as they're return with beer
and haven't missed a fight not between two total parries. -- Skittles
Khalhums Dwarf -- That was the first fight where I actually hit my opponent more than
they hit me. I think it was because I kept trying to pick you up to see how far I
could toss you. -- Quasil
Not far enough. He's a boomerang dwarf, he always comes back.
Kung-Fu Master -- My Kung-Fu is stronger than yours. -- Morgue
Qreated -- That was far less painful than our last meeting--for me anyway. -- Varick
Sourwood -- Uppity? I'll show you uppity! -- Varick
Sourwood -- Not liking this not win but good fight you. -- Miyamoto
Scribe -- We vote that you continue your tale! -- Terminus
Next turn, then.
Avery -- A secret admirer! I'm all excited. Do you have any idea who it might be?
-- Stonebow
Miyamoto -- You didn't think I'd just stand STILL for that, did you? My pa always
used to say, "Never let 'em get set." OR get in a hit, if you can help it, of
course. -- Sourwood
Jim -- I do like a tall man that I can twine around. -- Honeysuckle
Steve -- Lots of good skills, I like that. Maybe we should do it again. -- Silver
Ghost
In the Dark -- Damn, I was sure I remembered a candle this time! -- Bobcat
Morgue -- And then again, some days I just don't feel like hitting at all. --
Stonebow
