DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
This arrived too late to get into last turn's newsletter, but here it is now:
It's been a long time since I first strapped on my armor, ten years to be exact,
and now, as far as this arena goes, these sands shall be bored of me no longer. No
real skill with only an Expert in defense and an Advanced Expert in parry. Of all
the weapons used, I never thought that my favorite weapon would be the longspear.
VL/L are my favorit rhythms and my stats go like so:
13(+1)-21(+1)-12-9(+2)-21-5-9(+2). I won't be challenging anyone this turn, so
whoever wants it more, gets it. Good luck and farewell!!
Your Duelmaster,
Malkai
The current duelmaster speaks:
Kicked Upstairs! Your Fearless Reporter Summoned to the Isle! Inside Story by
Special Request!
The Enquirer
P.S. I have a cub reporter on retainer to step into this spot, but there's no
telling if s/he can fill the Enquirer's boots. We'll see how the News-Optic fares
next time. -- Jorja
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ZUWAYZA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see BEETLE BAILEY win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
BEETLE BAILEY beat FREE PARKING and FREE PARKING lost 11 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as THIMBLE takes the Title and
last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes,
kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?
Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. MONOPOLY, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were
this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it
looks like MAN OR BEAST? avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph. DESERT PLANTS was challenged more times this turn than
the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for ZUWAYZA's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
Yothlothiel -- You're right. Besides, the moon is wrong now, anyway. And now that I
think about it, why would I want to? There's no room in my garden for a yothlothiel
bush. -- Farmer's Almanac
Wolf Blitzer -- How odd. I've been able to work with wolves before. It must be some
subtle effect of global warming. -- Desert Plants
P.S. It's usually the rabbits and deer that give me problems, not to mention the
(deleted) CATTLE.
Bear Grylls -- I tried to turn you into a teddy bear, but somehow the spell went
wrong, and I turned myself into a pussycat. Disconcerting. It should have worked.
I need to study this more. -- Magic Today
Estradeth Vaneth -- I don't suppose I could persuade you that the weather is just
right for beating that sword into a plowshare? -- Farmer's Almanac
