DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Since I basically haven't proven myself by taking or defending the throne, I'll
defer to my brother Avery who has a few words to say before he makes the long journey
to The Isle of the Eye.
-- Varick
Farewell Malcorn. It's with mixed emotions that I depart. Overjoyed that the
specter of death is behind me and dismayed that instead of being followed on by my
teammate Miyamoto, he now sleeps in the halls of Ahringol. I am grateful I was able
to avenge him on my final fight in this city.
Congratulations Stonebow on your invitation. We've crossed blades four times
here in Malcorn, perhaps we will again on The Isle. The rest of Terminus is glad to
see you go as none of them wanted any part of dueling you. Any luck finding out who
your secret admirer in the infirmary was?
Best of luck to you Dark Creation, Rainbow Connection, and Greenwardens.
-- Lord Protector Avery
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MALCORN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. STONEBOW caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MORGUE and was awarded 14 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, STONEBOW put down MORGUE,
causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon
the will of others, Duelmaster VARICK challenged POT OF GOLD last week in a match to
decide the fate of the throne. Although POT OF GOLD made a valiant effort, it did
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious VARICK. No confirmation, but my
sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.
Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city MALCORN. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in MALCORN
these days is DARK CREATION. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid
them. Apparently the stalwarts of TERMINUS 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
POT OF GOLD. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by
the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Sourwood --- It wasn't what you said to Miyamoto, it was that you called me uppity.
I'm not uppity! -- Varick
Sourwood -- I'm really not so sure why the crowd found your performance so
entertaining. I think they just hate me. -- Quasil
P.S. Cardio...
Pot of Gold -- I'm really not a big scum like Quasil, you just never give me the
chance to attack and then you keep passing out. -- Varick
Terrasque -- I'm not so sure what I thought was so funny. I think it was the battle
rage talking. -- Morgue
Persistent Beggar -- You better start begging for some fighting lessons. -- Havoc
Quasil -- Today, suddenly, you made me queasy. Don't know why, maybe it was the
pizza with everything last night? I knew the anchovies were a mistake the moment I
bit one, but I ate it all anyway. BIIIIG mistake. -- Sourwood
P.S. Sorry to throw up on your boots, but you should've gotten out of the way
faster.
I did laugh when I finished the fight with the Veteran Mercenary, but it was relief,
not derision. -- Stonebow
P.S. 15-11-13-13-11-10-11 Strong but otherwise mediocre, really. SC, mod/mod,
lunge tactic.
Skittles -- Beer will not help you here. -- Honeysuckle
It appears that the Captured Orc is not at easy with a ghost. Ha! -- Silver Ghost
Esrever -- Ah, yes, THIS is the way it's supposed to go. Thanks. -- Bobcat
