DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well this is embarrassing. I take over the throne because my teammate loses to
Khalhum's Dwarf. Actually, Khalum's Midget was originally named "Khalhum's Dwarf
II," but the Gladiatorial Commission renamed him without my manager's input or
consent. My manager wants revenge against the evil Khalhum's Dwarf for killing one
of his top warriors, but we never got a bloodfeud. Since the Khalhum's Dwarf is a
waste, I certainly hope I do not match up against that platemail-wearing scum with a
blade. See you next turn.
Your Duelmaster,
Maximus
SPY REPORT
Welcome ALJAFIR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with VAXTON? He
actually beat HEROESANDFOUNDONES' KHALUM'S MIDGET, and walked away with 17 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at STEEL WOLVES while they watched VAXTON
clobber KHALUM'S MIDGET. He lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from
the stands. Try as he might, VALDRIC wasn't good enough at persuading MAXIMUS to
step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and
dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
ALJAFIR thinks PHILANTHROPISTS and their 6-2-0 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... The bums at HEROESANDFOUNDONES couldn't face the challenges from
PHILANTHROPISTS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, KHALUM'S MIDGET! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you.
Warriors of ALJAFIR unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Gracus -- (jumping back) A wolf! AAAAA! I can't stand wolves! -- Erbin Frorlin
Are you allergic to wolf bites? I know someone who breaks out in bleeding sores
whenever they get bitten by a wolf. -- Ed.
Valdric -- While I would not go to the lengths of alarm displayed by my somewhat
excitable teammate (it's his red hair), I will admit to being...disquieted to see a
wolf in the fold. Unfold yourself this instant! -- Straight Line
Tan Orc -- You'd be more convincing in that role if the Commission agreed to pretend
you're an orc, also. You're not, of course, six-feet-four? You must be a dwarf. --
Vinn Wulf
Nyzeil Oglata -- (shudder) I had that once, but I managed to get it exorcised. --
Quord Rassel
Violet Orc -- Huh, not an orc and not female. I kinda thought a violet orc would be
female. -- Wendol Varn
Ghost of Vurzhal Ur and Jorja -- Sorry about killing Vurzhal Ur. He deserved to
lose, but not to die. I was actually hoping to see him graduate. -- Khalum's Midget
Vinn Wulf -- What happened? With all that experience, I expect a little more from
you. -- Tan Orc
28 March 2006
We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
11 April 2006
To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
