DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
'Allo Willaf. ; Pleased to make yer acquaintance.
I've been told I need to put this column together, and then I'm off for the
beaches to vacation until I get called back for an Adepts tournament at some point.
I'm all set and ready to go. Not sure just when that will be, but the longer the
better, in my eyes, as I'm on permanent vacation until then.
The life of a tournament warrior, right?
In the meantime, Razored Swings will be our rep here in the arena and if anyone
wants to get me, he can send me a letter.
That's about it.
Slide To Hell
Duelmaster for One Turn...
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of WILLAF! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team GOLDEN GLADIATORS was
unseated this week as SHADOWMONGERS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-0-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around
the corner! Witness how this week SHADOWMONGERS went 3-0-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. STABBING WESTWARD caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested RAZORED SWINGS and was awarded 29 points in recognition. In one
of the week's more notable duels, STABBING WESTWARD put down RAZORED SWINGS, causing
him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability
to defend the throne, SLIDE TO HELL has lost the title of Duelmaster. No
confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using
magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In WILLAF "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! WILLAF, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is PUNNY AMINALS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of GOLDEN GLADIATORS last week. Busy avoiding PUNNY AMINALS?
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. I must report the passing of TULANE
RHOADES, veteran of many duels. 7-19-2 final record His was not illustrious--but
death plays no favorites. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms.
One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in WILLAF as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
