DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
White Chocolate is not up to great things in the arena. Too pale, too
understated. The arena is the place for bold and bloody. Which is, of course, why I
won.
Blood Sports
P.S. A longspear, at my height? Unreasonable. Nobody could expect me to actually
USE such a thing. And low/low? I am quite sure this is an insult, and probably a
deliberate one. Someone objects to blood in their sports. Ha! They're in for a
messy surprise.
SPY REPORT
Good day, in ZUWAYZA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as TAHAHN HAH is pushed out of top team by WALI'S FINEST, who came from
4th with a 4-1-0 this turn. WALI'S FINEST stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into
a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys!
The TEAM CHAOS guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.
You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, NIFTY NICKEL fought
SOLSTICE and gained 21 points and contributed to THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' 1-4-0.
SOLSTICE has lost to NIFTY NICKEL, falling 17 points, while helping make TEAM CHAOS a
4-1-1 turn. WHITE CHOCOATE challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting
to dethrone THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' warrior. And all eyes were on WHITE CHOCOATE this
turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. ZUWAYZA has a new victor! Tell
me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Drunken Ox
uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. Well, sports fans, take notice that
TIMES from THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS was ZUWAYZA's most challenged warrior this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Jewel -- You sell yourself too cheaply, babe. Trust me, I know about these things.
Just put yourself unreservedly in my hands and all will be...if not well, at least
exciting. And NOT a chariot race! Gods, the rotten ideas Hot Rod has! -- Nifty
Nickel
Caramel -- A babe is fine, no question about you being a babe, either, and I do like
those taffy blondes, but! No one compares with Matarse Fury. Now, THERE is a
driver! -- Hot Rod
P.S. Maybe if you got yourself chocolate dipped?
Ong-Bak -- Possibly, but since I am not into pontoon landings, it isn't my problem.
-- Flight Journal
P.S. You might want to consider patronizing some other bathhouse, however.
Isis -- A dwarf? This presents a peculiar problem. I could, of course, arrange to
present you on the cover and reasonably expect that with the beard, people will just
ASSUME that you're the Man of the Week, but it would be a lie, or at least a
deliberate deception. And the article on your "mystery cult" would give away your
gender soon enough. So...no, I don't think so. Not that I have a PERSONAL
objection, you understand, but I do have professional standards to maintain. -- Times
