DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Talk about backing into a title, I pop up after the tournament and get my rear
handed to me by Purple Dragon, and still take the title. Just what the doctor
ordered I guess. But then I've always been Lucky, hence my name. Which is
Lucky Devil, not Luck Devil... Just a typo upon my enrollment as a gladiator. I
kept it because I've heard it's lucky to get a typo name.
I have instructions to take on all comers and to graduate as quickly as
possible. So there will be no challenging or avoiding going forward, though as it
stands no one is in range anyway. Hopefully I can win a few fights, get a few skills
and cruise to the Isle. I've been told that I'll get a chunk of coin in my
retirement fund if I win out, so that's my hope.
Not much going on in Malcorn these days, though I have a whole bunch of notes
from past Duelmasters here which say that the city was once pretty exciting. Maybe
we can get it rocking again. If you guys all promise to do a few personals, I
promise to write a column every turn I'm here, unlike that stiff, Purple Dragon.
Not much of a tatoo if you ask me!
I'm Lucky Devil and hopefully I'll be seeing you next cycle.
SPY REPORT
Welcome MALCORN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with OGRE? He
actually beat GREENWARDENS' LITTLE BITER, and walked away with 13 more points from
the fight. Major screwup at GREENWARDENS. LITTLE BITER lost 12 points to OGRE.
Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe LITTLE BITER will provide more easy wins... Try
as he might, M. CHARDINEE wasn't good enough at persuading LUCK DEVIL to step down
from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to
go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Well, that's... something, that is. We fought nothing but standbys and went 4-1-0-1.
And we're here to say that Ladybug will never live down her death at the hands of a
mere Ambitious Guard! Well, until a month or two has passed and we've forgotten
about her.... -- the rest of the Greenwardens
