DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What?!? I did not get my Lord protectorship calling? Really? I didn't?!? A
travesty. A big travesty, I'll tell you!
Let's see:
14 wins-- got 23 (check)
20 fights-- got 27 (check)
17 political points-- got 21 (check)
1 adex-- got it (check)
1 expert-- got it (check)
Midas edges closley to Gold Charm and whispers "The adex and parry have to be in
the proper category of skills."
Ah, SHUCKS! That attacking expertise does not count? Well, I have to admit I
do not use it much.
Well, back to the drawing board. I will just have to enjoy life here in Willaf,
and accumulate some more DM Titles. And The Consortium CEO will just have to wait to
add me to his quest for 1000.
Life can be a burden, but sometimes what one thinks is a burden is just a
downright sweet pot of gold.
Gold Charm DMIII
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in WILLAF this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
REALLY? is pushed out of top team by GOLDEN GLADIATORS, who came from 2nd with a
3-2-1 this turn. The PUNNY AMINALS guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be
watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's
see, HORUS MANN fought GOLDPLATED and gained 20 points and contributed to PUNNY
AMINALS' 4-1-1. CHICKEN WHISPERER has lost to LOREL, falling 16 points, while
helping make REALLY? a 1-4-1 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, GOLD CHARM
kept MAXIMUM RESULTS' warrior, TRICILLIAD, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is
nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses
trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. MAXIMUM RESULTS has cause to stand tall, as
they were WILLAF's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided MAXIMUM RESULTS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
GOLDEN GLADIATORS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that RIPLEY
BYRD from PUNNY AMINALS was WILLAF's most challenged warrior this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. The manager of REALLY? will not be pleased to learn that I DON'T KNOW, a
3-1-0 fighter, has been killed at the hands of PUNNY AMINALS' TULANE RHOADES. We'd
like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who
you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in WILLAF, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Dr. Grimley -- Really? You run Really? Well, then, a really big "welcome" to you.
Willaf is really the better because of your presence. Really. -- Midas, Golden
Gladiators
Serpents Hold -- I am sorry for causing the demise of your teammate. I challenged,
true; but the killing was neither planned, nor desired. My apologies. -- Gold
Dubloon
Khisanth -- On the other hand, you can thank me now or later for doing your DA work
for you. (wink) -- Midas (trying to be amusing, but picking a lousy time to do so)
Tricilliad -- Well, that was our fourth, and I have to admit, I like all four
results. But somehow, I believe your day is coming. -- Goldplated
Snake -- Ah, it is still winter. One cannot expect a cold-blooded critter to be up
and at 'em yet. -- Gold Charm
John Dere -- That win felt... Good As Gold
All -- Good luck to any Willaf participant in The Mailer. Do our arena proud. --
Midas, Golden Gladiators (Consortium affiliated)
Gold Charm -- I can see what your record means: You don't have enough losses. You
should have said something sooner, we would have been glad to help. -- the Punny
Aminals
Good as Gold -- That has often puzzled me, what is meant by "good as gold." Gold is
so limited: ornament, tokens of economic exchange, and a few minor metalic uses.
Surely it would make more sense to admire something that is "as good as wood" or "as
good as cheese"? -- Horus Mann
NC -- Racing is good. I can really get into racing. -- Tulane Rhoades
Ninja Chicken -- But of course, I can out-race you any time, not being handicapped by
chicken-ness. -- Tulane Rhoades
Mora -- You may be a nominal serpent, but you do bear a distinct resemblance to a
mulberry tree, also. -- Horus Mann
P.S. Messy things.
Good as Gold -- No, you aren't! Well, okay, maybe you are, but that means gold isn't
much to admire. I mean, you're a GOLEM and you have no GENDER. How can this be
good? -- John Dere
The Convicted Assassin tried to tell *M*E* about reality and falsehood? As if! He's
a worthless bum, and that's all there is to it. -- Dee Nile
Since I took care to acquire, before the fight, a charm against poison, I found the
Venomous Concubine just plain fun. -- Ripley Byrd
