DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I know it's considered impolite to say so, Mystic, but I WAS laughing at you.
Easy fights take me that way.
Wild West
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ZUWAYZA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ELLE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MORDANT DESERTER and was awarded 12
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, WHITE WOLF put down
VED BUENS ENDE, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Cold and
lifeless, former Duelmaster WILD WEST will fight no more! MYSTIC has slain him!
Would you believe that over half of the old women in ZUWAYZA seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in ZUWAYZA these days is DRAGON JUNKIES. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of ANARCHY are catching the bulk
of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. WHITE WOLF take warning!
You have more than a few enemies in ZUWAYZA.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ZUWAYZA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires
of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool
flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only
once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Gulf Coast D -- Not the sand! Gods, do you know how hard it is to get sand out of my
fur? Darned near impossible. -- White Wolf
P.S. And then I end up looking dirty. I hate that.
Normalacy -- If that is what you truly want (and what a plebian ORDINARY desire that
is!), then you have no business even considering a... Travel Holiday
Jerry Attricks -- I fear you are too old to properly appreciate a magazine,
magnificent though it may be, that comes in a... Plain Wrapper
Dayne Jerous -- You sure are! You messed up my hair terribly, and a really good
coiffeuse isn't cheap, you know. This'll stand my budget on its head. -- Elle

Due to requests, the Turf War IV will be postponed until turn 225 (approx May/June
2005). Sorry about the inconvenience. -- Baphomet, host of TW 4
12 January 2005
On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
