DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
So nice to be back again.
This past week I challenged Dakia Wildrose whom I had beaten recently but had also
lost to when we were both less experienced.
The battle didn't start out the way I had hoped as Dakia was able to get the jump on
me. When you are facing a warrior with as much skill as this you really don't want to
give them many opportunities. Fortunately I was able to dodge her first attack and
even more fortunately I was able to counter attack right away. That was pretty much
the end of it as I tend to hit really hard. Still I feel fortunate to pull out the
victory.
This week I think I am going to challenge Tumble Belly. I was able to defeat them way
back on turn 207. I am not under any illusion that it will be an easy battle as lots
could have changed since then. The main deciding factor here is that Tumble has the
most points and even if I do lose to them I shouldn't fall out of challenger champs
which means I should get an invite either way.

SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to SEAM once again! Woof! HUCKLE'S CATS were a bunch of dogs
after UNLIKELY HEROES got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st! Phhbltt!
Too much drinking and too little dodging gave LOCAL GIRLS a 0-0-0! I got a good
laugh out of it! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table!
Thrust! Block out the pain! UNLIKELY HEROES is now ranked 1st with a 5-0-1 turn.
What's with FERAL DIVA? She actually beat LOST SENTINELS' CODEX, and walked away
with 16 more points from the fight. Major screwup at HUCKLE'S CATS. SALLY CAT lost
10 points to NEENER NEENER. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SALLY CAT will
provide more easy wins... See how the Duelmaster challenged THIRSTY THUGS' TUMBLE
BELLY? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. TUMBLE BELLY was
reminded on the sands why SAM LAY is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1
will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. SEAM
thinks HUCKLE'S CATS and their 491-537-26 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... The bums at RUBBER VS GLUE couldn't face the challenges from
HUCKLE'S CATS! No excuse for that! What do people see in BIFF? His 17-22-0?
AKAKIA ain't talkin', but he's got 84 points. Taunt your opponent HOEB! That was my
lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 26 points!) DO IT TOMORROW
should have an easy win. I have to get this off my chest. What a low dog, DO IT
TOMORROW! She can't set herself up in a real match. I was sorry to see HOEB lose.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
I'm kinda sad that the subject of this email is "personal ads for arena 20" and not
"duelmaster column for arena 20" but I guess with a name like mine that's how it goes.
I am surprised I got the invite - I was just fighting Hoeb for skills 'n thrills,
livin' in the moment, old enough to know better but still too young to care. I do
want to talk about my lost buddy, Deep Funk -- a really good guy but he did little
damage, he was hitting Faz Ebonsteel fairly good but Faz was laughing each time he got
hit and I think that caused Deep Funk to move from Funk to Rage and that wasn't good
for his heart. His replacement, Home Alone. is so-so, more entertainment than quality
and that's really what we look for on this team. His name should be obvious -- my
kids are on winter break and we watched the movie a few too many times and I have in-
laws staying with me so I entered a fantasy world where I was left home alone and I
loved it. With that, remember to wear your mask, practice social distancing, and get
your booster! -- Do It Tomorrow
