DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Farewell Aljafir,
It has been a great experience. I feel lucky to have survived this long. Looks
like some great warriors are rising up the ranks. Forcas, I have enjoyed our
rivalry. Perhaps we will meet again. Goodbye.
Thorik
SPY REPORT
Hail ALJAFIR! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as KINDRED OF KAOS is pushed
out of top team by STEEL WOLVES, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-1 this turn. And let's
see, TITAN fought PHLEUM PRATENSE and gained 15 points and contributed to STEEL
WOLVES' 4-1-1. PHLEUM PRATENSE has lost to TITAN, falling 14 points, while helping
make GROW a 2-1-0 turn. DIRTY OLD MAN challenged for the Duelmastership this turn,
attempting to dethrone STEEL WOLVES' warrior. The attempts to dethrone the
Duelmaster have failed, and THORIK remains ALJAFIR's top warrior for another turn.
Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Vile
Vizier 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. GROW has cause to stand tall, as they were
ALJAFIR's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And
avoiding GROW more than any other team we find BALANCE OF TERROR. ALJAFIR, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that
STRAIGHT LINE from MIDDLE WAY was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn.
DAMAGED DENNY from SPECIAL ED took a risk this turn by bravely challenging up 27
points in a challenge against ERBIN FRORLIN. Sad to say, DAMAGED DENNY lost to ERBIN
FRORLIN, and the attempt ended up costing DAMAGED DENNY 3 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in ALJAFIR, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ALJAFIR again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

on her so she doesn't wander off again. -- Hexim Hsidar
Bridge Troll -- Well, damn! They told me it was a TOLL bridge, or at least, that's
what I heard. Next time, I'm taking the ferry. -- Quord Rassel
P.S. How come the Commission hasn't noticed you're a troll?
Etien Haxan -- A word of vice, I mean, AD-vice. Next time, don't drink strong liquor

All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights! If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light! We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
DM 31, Attn: Timothias)! Come, Vendetta Cartel, let us show these broke-down
"Knights" what true warriors are! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of The Avengers of
Light

The Avengers of Light. Another VC lackey? What's the matter VC, are you scared?
Bringing in reinforcements. It matters not, bring your avengers and they shall be
crushed! I am Dark Knight Blackstorm and I represent the Desolate Empire and can
easily be found in 8, 28, 31, 47, 54, and 106. I reply with steel and your women
shall cry when they start the body count!!!!!!!!! Remember to sign your posts to
whoever from the VC wrote that earlier Ad. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm
