DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Try as you might, Hideki, challenging for the top spot, I was not going to be denied.
This woman prefers to be on top -- and so far all those that I have faced that remain
here have all, well, have gone soft when it counted and ended up like a limp old man.
Your new Duelmaster Mistress!
-- Aurora
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ZUWAYZA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. FINESSE caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested JEWEL and was awarded 22 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, FINESSE put down JEWEL,
causing her to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Although KUNG-FU MASTER
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious AURORA.
Would you believe that over half of the old women in ZUWAYZA seem to feel that they
could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ZUWAYZA. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. TAHAHN HAH is feared. This much I can say. Apparently the
stalwarts of IDES OF MARCH 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. SOLAR take warning! You have more than a few enemies
in ZUWAYZA. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
MARIUS VALERIUS posted a challenge against the more highly recognized TIMES. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand MARIUS VALERIUS lost to TIMES. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of JAKRAPONG who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below
in the rankings. I thought JAKRAPONG showed great skill and promise when he subdued
TRITON. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ZUWAYZA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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

PERSONAL ADS
Ong-Bak -- Aurora never really warmed up to Topo, so she asked me to take this one.
A little better prepared this time I was for you. Although I thought you at least
would try to defend yourself. I'm not gonna complain though, I just love quickies.
-- Flavius Valerius
Tippy -- Ah, you had me pinwheeling into the ground there. I barely pulled out in
time to prevent a total disaster, but they do say that a landing you can walk away
from is a "good" landing. It appears to have been a very educational experience for
you. -- Flight Journal
What? A Userous Merchant? No way! It's against my principles to encourage and
assist-- Twice the regular rate? THREE times? You've got a deal, mister. -- Nifty
Nickel
The Fratsfa Slave didn't last long enough to be amusing. A weakling, and a fool. --
Blood Sports
I will not interview the Captured Orc. He is not the Man of the Week. -- Times
P.S. And besides, he broke my pencils.
Teerapong -- It takes more than that to drive a sporting carriage, boy. -- Hot Rod
P.S. But work on it, practice a lot, and someday... who can say?
Matarse Fury -- "Not enough time" is a sign of a poorly managed life. I could
recommend an efficiency expert, if you are willing to make the necessary changes in
your life. -- Times
