DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I thank the Violet Orc (not an orc) for giving me an opportunity to please the
crowd. Or what passes for a crowd here. AND, the chance to make a significant
addition to my collection of political points. Thanks. Let me buy you a drink,
without prejudice.
Stelra Tirins
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in ALJAFIR, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--MIDDLE WAY.
Practice pays for XAVIORA YOHL, who pummelled QUINTUS, to pocket 19 points. A
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14
points to XAVIORA YOHL. (Discrete enough, QUINTUS?) VIOLET ORC found out that
ALJAFIR isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who
was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?
Someone's got a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of DEATH INCARNATE
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with
its tail between its legs, FIELDS OF ELYSIUM scurried away from DEATH INCARNATE. Oh,
the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral
hygiene? Whatever it is, GRISHORT HURM is the most challenged warrior. As a
confidence booster, COMMODUS challenged GRISHORT HURM, down 19 points. Do you also
slay vicious rodents in your spare time, COMMODUS? COMMODUS bested GRISHORT HURM.
The whole thing leaves a bitter memory.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. ALJAFIR, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Vile Vizier. 'Til next
time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
The Red Baron -- Too much tomato sauce. That stuff saps your vitality. -- Xaviora
Yohl
P.S. No, really. The solanums are tricky that way.
Aurelius -- (muttering crossly) I thought gold was supposed to be a soft metal. --
Yarek Zurn
Novellus -- I just don't do "new and different" all that well. A conservative
upbringing, you know. It runs deep. -- Tamarin Mellirn
Vlad the Impaler -- I am puzzled as to why managers all over Alastari would feel it
worthwhile to clone your spirit. It isn't all that remarkable, for one of your
context. -- Brishort Hurm
P.S. I wonder how many Vlad's, impalers, and Tepes, and whatever, there are on the
Isle already?
Our hearty congratulations to the Violet Orc! Graduation at last, it's great. Let's
have a party! Meet us at the Fishpot at sunset and will party till the sun rises or
the City Watch throws us out. -- Stelra and her Middle Way teammates
