DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, warriors of Rome! Your Duelmaster will now address the unwashed
masses! First off, thank you to Grishort Hurm on serving as my personal punching
bag. It is much appreciated and I long for the day when we will be reunited and not
separated by these silly brackets. As a matter of fact, I would like to see the
brackets completely removed so anyone can challenge up or down free of restrictions.
Congratulations to Ursila Vine on being invited to the Isle. We hope you select
Free Blades as your destination arena. We could sure use some additional fighters
there.
Welcome aboard to The Brotherhood and Dead Poets. Perhaps the poets took their
name too seriously last turn, since four out of five are literally dead?!?! And to
be a brotherhood, don't you need more than one fighter? Regardless of these issues,
we still welcome you here in Rome.
To the Generals, some advice and let it not be said that Caesar lacks mercy and
compassion: Train 120 skills first, then raise your stats. We noticed several of
your guys training stats. You will lose skills this way. We also noticed you are
using unsuitable weapons. There is a web site called TerraBlood dot com that could
be of help to you if you are new to the arena games.
To all of you: Kill a Roman and you will be severely punished. Tempt not
Caesar's wrath!
I am the Roman who cheated Ahringhol and returned from the dead. My time here
should be short and I will join Caesar's legions in the mighty Free Blades arena. It
is great to be back after my recent victory in the All Hallows Eve tournament. My
rotting flesh has been replaced with new skin, my notched blade replaced with razor
sharp steel and my hopeless plight reversed. Yes, it is good to be alive again and
soon I will be immortal.
Until next time... I remain...
Saphronicus
Duelmaster of Rome
Fields of Elysium (563)
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 THE GENERALS is pushed out
of top team by FIELDS OF ELYSIUM, who came from 3rd with a 2-1-0 this turn. And
let's see, HANNABLE fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 13 points and contributed to
THE GENERALS' 2-3-0. YAREK ZURN has lost to KHALHUMS DWARF, falling 5 points, while
helping make MIDDLE WAY a 3-2-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn,
SAPHRONICUS kept MIDDLE WAY's warrior, ZALMAN ARVO, from claiming the throne. By the
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The
Vile Vizier?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. BROTHERHOOD 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
BROTHERHOOD more than any other team we find GLADIATORS. ALJAFIR, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that URSILA
VINE from MIDDLE WAY was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn. SEXTUS of
FIELDS OF ELYSIUM had better have a good reason for challenging down 11 points in a
challenge which he won. I thought SEXTUS showed great skill and promise when he
defeated BRUNHILDA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that ALJAFIR has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in ALJAFIR, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Saphronicus -- Didn't we just do this? -- Grishort Hurm
P.S. That's the problem with you Romans, you like to do the same thing over and over
again. I guess I can understand wanting to WIN over and over again, not that I have
much experience with it, but where's the challenge in defeating someone repeatedly in
back-to-back-to-back fights?
P.P.S. Yes, okay, not a lot of choices in the upper levels of the arena at the
moment, but I have teammates, you know. Go after them sometimes!
Grishort Hurm -- Oh, great, sic him onto us! With a teammate like you, who needs
enemies? -- your teammates
My teammates -- You gotta help carry the load. -- Grishort Hurm
Theodosius -- Yarek set me up for this, didn't he? I'll take care of HIM, never
fear! -- Salara Lormin
Hamir of Mazgourrah, master of unarmed combat -- LOSE, dammit! It bugs the heck out
of me when some unarmed run comes along and kicks my butt. -- Zalman Arvo
P.S. And, no, it would NOT be better if you kicked me somewhere else.
M. Konvalh Chardinee -- It's always a pleasure to smash you down into the sand. --
Yarek Zurn
Salara -- I did not "set you up" with Theodosius. You can get your own dates, I have
better things to do. -- Yarek
Lenislichi of Venjek, Concubine on Leave -- If you consider this, fighting in the
arena, equivalent to a vacation, I'm glad I don't have your "day job." -- Ursila vine
Caesar -- Despite what some of my gladiators say, I'm glad to see you back. I
suppose this is all tourney-timing? -- Jorja, Middle Way
