DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, isn't this a surprise! I'm finally Duelmaster. It's been a long time coming.
I shouldn't be here too long. I should get my invite soon. Only one thing left to
do before I graduate. I need a kill! Time to crank up the KD. Glory to the One
God, the God of All. May Kjarran guide my blade and grant me my first kill.
Quivra Ngedo
Servant of Kjarran
Balance of Terror
SPY REPORT
Welcome ALJAFIR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Phhbltt! Too much drinking
and too little dodging gave HEROESANDFOUNDONES a 1-4-0! I got a good laugh out of
it! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block
out the pain! GROW is now ranked 2nd with a 4-0-1 turn. What's with PHLEUM
PRATENSE? He actually beat HEROESANDFOUNDONES' KHALUM'S MIDGET, and walked away with
27 more points from the fight. Major screwup at HEROESANDFOUNDONES. MAXIMUS lost 19
points to ELDAR BARRY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe MAXIMUS will provide
more easy wins... STEEL WOLVES' hatred of BALANCE OF TERROR surfaced again as THORIK
challenged ALJAFIR's top dog. I'm sure ALJAFIR is excited about THORIK, the new
Duelmaster from STEEL WOLVES. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have...
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, BALANCE OF TERROR! Management must be dealin', as the boys at
HEROESANDFOUNDONES ain't reelin'! BALANCE OF TERROR's mad! What do people see in
THORIK? His 11-4-0? STEEL WOLVES ain't talkin', but he's got 108 points. ETIEN
HAXAN didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from VALDRIC of STEEL
WOLVES, who is 18 points below him. VALDRIC perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as
he was subdued by ETIEN HAXAN and ended up with 42 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Death is no stranger to a warrior. STEEL WOLVES' GRACUS led a
good life before leaving ALJAFIR. Many would be proud to leave behind a 9-5-0.
KHALUM'S MIDGET of HEROESANDFOUNDONES didn't know when to quit. When you've got a
13-10-1, that's a good sign. Now he's dead. How long have I been here? I got
people to see, places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
ALJAFIR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,--
Olaf Modeen

Maximus -- I was expecting more of a fight from you. -- Quivra Ngego
Wendol Varn -- Sometimes I feel like an aimed blow. It worked for me this time. --
Etien Haxan
Valdric -- I'm almost ready. -- Forcas
Gracus -- It must be your canine nature that prevents you from acknowledging the
superiority of a... Straight Line
Tan Orc -- Piffling. -- Erbin Frorlin
Nyzeil Oglata -- Or, to do it backwards, Atalgo Liezyn, which seems much more...
reversed. -- Vinn Wulf
Etien Haxan -- Hmm. I suppose you're trying to balance your record. -- Wendol Varn
P.S. Yes, I know that mine is NOT balanced, but somebody has to make these
sacrifices.
Violet Orc -- I got tired, okay? Nothing like boredom to make a person tired. --

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!
