DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Delion looked at the wrecked form of Jameson on the sands, his scimitar dripping
blood where he had slashed across the warrior's guts in a viscious cutting attack.
One shot and it was over. Turning, the Aimed Blow raised his weapon as the crowds
roared. He didn't want to leave. It was HIS time!
Later he paused upon the Duelmaster Throne of Talcama, one of the most
celebrated thrones in all the lands. He wasn't going to be allowed to fight. He was
being "Saved" for the next mailin tournament. Great. A tournament. When I have the
power here, why should I give it up? Then he turned and saw his master Tripwire
enter the room and shuddered. Behind that smile and facade of a gladiator manager
rested... something. Nothing human and he had felt his master's painful attacks many
times before. Tripwire had plans for Talcama and threats to be made to those
arriving in "his" city.
Only time would tell where this was all going, but it wasn't going to be good.
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TALCAMA games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week SHEPHERDS went 1-2-0 to move up 3 in
the rankings. MESHACH caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested JAMESON and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, MESHACH put down JAMESON, causing him to lose 12 points of
recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
DELION has lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of FIZZ
AND FURS, for with hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the highest position
in the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in TALCAMA seem to
feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In TALCAMA "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! TALCAMA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is OF WOLF AND MAN II, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding OF WOLF AND MAN II. Indeed it was CENTER FOR
OLDS. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge
that many fighters are after JAMESON. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TALCAMA. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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

Hello, looks like I'm back, at least for a bit. Not sure if these will print this

DM Delion -- Warning: the use of the term "Jewel of the Delarquan Federation" or any
derivative thereof is copywrighted material and may not be used without the express
written permission of the majority of currently active managers in the TRUE Jewel of
the Delarquan Federation, the Arena of Death (also copywrighted, BTW, in blood...),
Sunset, DM21. Just sayin'.... -- Stik, friendly neighborhood Delarquan manager, of
Sunset, the Jewel of the--Okay, you get it. Get your own catchfrase. ;)
Jameson -- That was pathetic! -- Your Duelmaster Delion
Carbonated Milk -- Nicely done. Still trying to find my groove. That first minute
looked promising, if I can just hone my skills a tad more. -- Battery
Chatroommate -- Excellent fight, I look forward to doing that again. -- Teal'c
Leprechaun -- Thanks for the brief trip down Memory Lane. Kate was my second
Duelmaster here, and I'd venture to say Clover looks better than she did when she
graduated. Thankfully, after these last twenty years, I've finally filled a stable
with dominant godlings like Anonymissus... What? She did? Dang. -- Suave
Erin Go Bragh -- One more survival and I'd've gotten my invite. My challenge. My
bad. -- Anon.
Grateful Undead -- Oops. -- Bedder, regretting the thought that this personal ad, the
first he's ever written, may end up his last because it prevents him from flying
under the radar after Son of a Lich's demise
Tripwire -- Three teams? But I only have two avoids! -- Suave
to all -- Erin's stats were 11-11-9-18-17-5-13. His Favs are L/VH and short sword.
He Leaves with a master in atk ad ex in init and parry exp in dec and ripost. Learns
ripost and likes the parry tactic. He turned out to be one of my most bonused
warriors ever +4 ATK +3 PAR +4 DEC. His only hinderance was that he got normal
damage or I think he would have won a lot more. He will hanging around for a while
to see how AD treats him. -- Leprechaun
Suave -- I think Erin's frustrations on losing to Fizz were taken out on Anonymissus
-- Leprechaun
