DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
An unexpected honor to be here. I did not expect to sit here, to be sure.
Golden Eagle put up a great fight, and I expect to fight him or his teammates soon.
Until next time, have fun!!

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly WILLAF games. Former top team FAR TRAVELERS was
unseated this week as PUNNY AMINALS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. SILLY SUIT caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested THE USEROUS MERCHANT and was awarded
16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HASAN AL-AZRAD
put down MOURNDREAD, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. As
is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none
other than Duelmaster ELEESIA herself. Who here was not present for the title fight
this week as GOLDEN EAGLE boldly challenged ELEESIA in order to strive for the
Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has ELEESIA in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers 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!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. NIGHTMARE WRATH is feared. This
much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of FAR TRAVELERS are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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 WILLAF as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed
a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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
Congratulations to a fine Duelmaster Eleesia, who handles my Golden Eagle like he was
a lump of brass. -- Midas
Eleesia -- I salute you. You are GOOD. My talons could not rend your mighty
defenses. -- Golden Eagle
Longing Leggings -- What a great idea for something to wear when panning for gold.
In this case, I didn't find any gold and you stripped me bare. (Now, THAT was fun!)
-- Pan For Gold
Good luck to all in the upcoming Mailer-- whenever it is. -- Midas
Sardo Grackel -- That will teach me to leave the bar earlier before a fight! See you
again soon. -- Stoga Steel
Dark Priest -- Your style has always given me difficulty. I must rethink. You are a
deadly foe, indeed. -- Hasan
Dread -- I am most pleased to deliver your first loss. I'll be sure to heckle Simon
about it, too. *smirk* -- Katarina
Corduroy -- A fitting name; durable but out of style. Bon chance! -- Simon
Billy Jack -- Not a bad fight for a couple of brawlers. I'll see you about, and buy
ye a drink.
Wicked Twist -- Ah, and a sinister, left-handed twist, too! -- Fangs Ardente
P.S. But your blood is fine.
Stoga Steel -- With a record like that, you should probably be one of us. Oh, well,
nobody said this would be easy. -- Sardo Grackel
Angus MacDougal -- As tall as you are, you can go quite a ways just be falling over
and then standing up at the other end, eh? But you know what they say, the bigger
they are, the farther away they fall. -- Billy Jack
This Malcorn Insurgent should go back down to Malcorn and surge there. -- Horus Mann
P.S. He's unteachable.
27 September 10
Note -- We are still looking for additional teams in Arvat, DM 32. I still have a
number of good team rollups available FREE for whoever wants one.
Contact the Devil Advocates ASAP to join the fun! You can either reach me by
diplo or on the RSI site.
Also, whoever sent me the diplo with no name on it requesting a rollup /
information on how to get into Arvat, I'm embarassed to admit that the diplo slipped
out of my folder and was lost. Please just send me another one with your mailing
address and I'll get a rollup to you ASAP. Sorry about that!
