DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Salutations, Zuwayza!
The Admiral has moved on and I have replaced him. I am Donkey Hotay, Knight of
the Realm and Champion of justice. I am on a quest. It is a very important quest,
but I will tell you all, if you promise to keep it secret.
I have heard that there are, in fact, Windmills, in the Zuwayza region.
Forsooth! Yes. Windmills. I know that the thought of them is very terrifying, but
we must conquer our fear and prepare for battle.
I practiced this turn against Missouri Wildlife--who is, apparently, not a
windmill, but a magazine. Which is equally strange, but not as threatening.
I shall seek the foul Windmills wherever they are.
Any leads will be appreciated!
Until next time--
I am -- Donkey Hotay -- Duelmaster.
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ZUWAYZA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. VISIONS V2 stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-1
into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work,
guys! And let's see, KELVIN fought PORK CHOP GOLEM and gained 22 points and
contributed to VISIONS V2's 4-1-1. PORK CHOP GOLEM has lost to KELVIN, falling 19
points, while helping make THE MOTHERSHIP CC a 3-2-1 turn. The attempts to dethrone
the Duelmaster have failed, and DONKEY HOTAY remains ZUWAYZA's top warrior for
another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Drunken Ox until they win. Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. JESSIE'S SPUDS has cause to stand tall, as
they were ZUWAYZA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And avoiding JESSIE'S SPUDS more than any other team we find MAN OR BEAST?. ZUWAYZA,
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior
this turn was THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' warrior MISSOURI WILDLIFE. More fighters
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
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. Always good to rest in ZUWAYZA, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ZUWAYZA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
