DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Listen, Bowen, you were lucky to get out of that one alive. I'm a cat, well, I have the spirit of cat in addition to my own spirit, anyway, and I'm automatically anti-snake. And I figure, even if you aren't an actual serpent, you've probably got a snake spirit along with yours. If you have a spirit of your own at all, being a golem. Bobcat SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of MALCORN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team INK & STEEL RETRO was unseated this week as GREENWARDENS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round. GOLDEN STAIRS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 14 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SOURWOOD put down BOWEN, causing it to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has BOBCAT in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! Many and various are the arts of battle. In MALCORN "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOBCAT 5056 19 9 0 119 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SKITTLES 5048 18 14 0 94 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) SOURWOOD 5047 16 18 1 94 GREENWARDENS (244) STEVE 5027 16 24 2 91 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOWEN 5091 8 4 0 81 SERPENTS' HOLD (510) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HONEYSUCKLE 5038 20 17 0 77 GREENWARDENS (244) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SUNDOG 5075 6 11 1 53 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -INK BISTRO 5111 2 1 1 30 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) SHANK 5109 5 2 0 25 SERPENTS' HOLD (510) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -INKED PIG 5112 2 0 0 22 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) -INKED THUG 5118 2 0 0 21 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) -PURPLE DRAGON 5116 2 0 0 18 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) -SMART STEEL 5132 1 0 0 18 INK & STEEL RETRO (513) GOLDEN STAIRS 5128 1 3 0 17 GREENWARDENS (244) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
