DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, here I am, your Duelmaster, if only for one turn. I had hoped to stay here for
awhile longer, but the GC doesn't want a Servant oF Kjarran to be DM for very long.
My final numbers; 12-8(+2)-12-17-17-9-11 lunger. Master in init, AdEx in attack,
Ex's in RIP, DEF, and DEC. High offensive, very high activity, learned dec.,
favorite weapon, the shortsword.
All glory to my Lord Kjarran, the One True God, the God of All. All other gods are
false!
L.P. Berchta
Servant of Kjarran
The Dark Gods
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon TALCAMA, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! SEA DOGS after a sorry 1-2-0 might want to
consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as
WIZARDGUARD can attest... Practice pays for THE LIFEGUARD, who pummelled WARG
HANDLER, to pocket 27 points. FROO-FROO certainly had a baffled expression on hers
face, after losing to SPONGEBOB and losing 16 points in the process! GREAT WHITE
found out that TALCAMA 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...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in TALCAMA avoid SHEPHERDS. As a woman of good breeding scorns
the "warriors" of WIZARDGUARD, so did that sorry team shy from SHEPHERDS If
challenges were horses, ARCHOR could open up a fast food joint!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
THE LIFEGUARD of CENTER FOR OLDS spared WARG HANDLER (11-8-0) from having to lose any
more fights. What's your next plan, WIZARDGUARD? Never one to advocate diplomacy
and restraint, I was pleased to see BURN N' PILLAGE retaliate against THE DARK GODS
in bloodfeud! Justice was served as ADAM fought CHOCO BOBA BABY in bloodfeud. Well
done, SHEPHERDS! Charity is unknown in TALCAMA, and rightly so. SHEPHERDS exacted
their revenge against WIZARDGUARD. Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will
pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in TALCAMA is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
