DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen; lend me your eyes and read my wonderful column. Former
Tournament Champion, Undefeated on the sands of my home arena and now Duelmaster!
What achievements I have made since Caesar first sent me out upon the sands.
Let's cut to the chase! This arena is on life support and we Romans are basically
serving as a Bail Out for the Aljafir City Council. And the Middle Way is like a
government stimulus program. Like a bridge to nowhere or water parks in Chimlevtal
or million dollar outhouses on the sides of mountains. The only thing missing are
toxic assets, struggling automakers and a giant, overleveraged insurance company...
Yes, Aljafir has seen better days...
Caesar would have joined you today, but he was out playing golf in some pretty decent
March weather. Couldn't wait to try out his brand new Ping I Series Anser 4 putter.
It was a nice day walking eighteen holes and Caesar conveniently lost his scorecard
at the end of the day... No need to keep reminders of all of those double and triple
bogeys. Plus the first time out doesn't count. Looks like March was it for skiing.
Time to put those skis away and start swing the clubs again. Oh well. It was a
great season in the snow covered green mountains. Lots of snow, lots of adventures
and many breathtaking photos from the pinnacle of the world.
What else is brewing here? Quite frankly, nothing. Although Caesar does have some
nice tourney guys waiting to roll. Because that is how we roll. Why do people say
that? He did, however, blunder with Theodosius and Septimius by fighting them one
extra turn. But after watching that Captured Orc pound Theo last turn, perhaps it
was for the better...
Caesar likes the tourney prize, but would likely spend a million years deciding upon
who to clone. Not to mention, inundate the Dark One with email questions. I'm sure
many will hit the sands, including myself, in hopes of getting their filthy paws on
this prize. I'm short a few fight experience points, but what the heck?
Thats a wrap for now. I may be back, but I may not. Who knows. Or really cares?
Or even looks at this treatise?
I Remain....

Undefeated Duelmaster of Aljafir

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ALJAFIR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. URSILA VINE caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested KHALHUMS DWARF and was
awarded 18 points in recognition. Not for nothing has TIBERIUS in the past laid
claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet
again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their
position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ALJAFIR. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ALJAFIR
these days is MIDDLE WAY. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
Apparently the stalwarts of FIELDS OF ELYSIUM are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Tiberius -- Does that mean you're a "son of the River Tiber"? Just an idle thought.
Now that I'm not duelmaster, I have time for idle thoughts, especially lying around
here in the Infirmary. -- Zalman Arvo
The Red Baron -- Good gods, not chartreuse! Never listen to Grishort on color, he
has no eye for it. A rosy mauve might do. -- Salara Lormin
Germanicus -- I made you sweat for that one, didn't I? -- Grishort Hurm
A Captured Orc? Is this what you give "someone who has everything"? Not that I do
have everything, there are several significant gaps in collection of swords. --
Ursila Vine
I dislike the Kung-Fu Master intensely. I might go farther than that and wish him to
have a painful and ultimately fatal accident. -- Yarek Zurn
