DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Garion looked down upon Cosmic Ash as he ascended the throne. It was a close fight
but that's the only type of fights that he seemed to be in lately. As long as he was
the victor he didn't care. His manager Tripwire was back in full force and it was
good to be back! It would take some time but he knew his manager would bring them all
back to glory soon. Looking at the challengers below he decided upon two and sent
their names to the commission. Parmesan Cheese and Lady Lithium. -- Duelmaster Garion
SPY REPORT
Hail TALCAMA! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as COSMIC KARMA is pushed out
of top team by SEA DOGS, who came from 3rd with a 2-2-0 this turn. And let's see,
ARYA fought LADY LITHIUM and gained 38 points and contributed to OF WOLF AND MAN's
2-1-1. COSMIC ASH has lost to RANDOM, falling 17 points, while helping make COSMIC
KARMA a 2-2-0 turn. This turn GARION challenged PARMESEAN CHEESE in what was
TALCAMA's Title bout. Defending his title for another turn, GARION kept INANIMATE
TOFU's warrior, PARMESEAN CHEESE, from claiming the throne. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Original Arthur's
Last Stand?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the MAD SCIENTISTS stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on TALCAMA, what are you afraid of? And
guess who avoided MAD SCIENTISTS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was THE
EMERALD ISLES. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was WOMB OF
HORRORS' warrior INVERNESS. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, PHOUKA from THE EMERALD ISLES challenged up 22
points to fight INVERNESS from the WOMB OF HORRORS stable. PHOUKA perhaps got his
just desserts, seeing as he subdued INVERNESS and ended up with 105 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. LADY LITHIUM has departed TALCAMA,
leaving MAD SCIENTISTS without their 12-8-3 warrior. Question, just what was hers
team doing at the taverns last night? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob
the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, TALCAMA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in TALCAMA and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
