DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Once again I have survived another round of combat on the Bloody Isle, Sunset! I have
to thank Prime Slime for showing back up after a long enough absence that I could gain
enough ground to do to him what a good slasher SHOULD do to one of his style. Take
that!! I figure one more turn up here and I'm gone, and that will complete an amazing
run for the Old Man, getting a virtual bevy of warriors through successfully to ADM
without any deaths, like six or seven I believe. I'm the last of the bunch now that
Drane's off like a prom dress as well. Not even Duelmaster once and he gets his
invite, sickening...
I'd let you know who I'm challenging (of course I'm challenging, Stik doesn't believe
in all that "the Duelmaster makes no challenges and takes on all comers" hooey, he's a
strategist to the last) but the Old Man already sent in the strats and he's busy with
some other guys in some place called Dwes Eg, weird name, so he can't remember. But
I'm sure by the time you read this (I assume at least a couple of you are) we'll all
know anyway. Until next time, if there is one, here's to you, Sunset! Blades UP!!!
-- Skydancer
Duelmistress of Sunset
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, SUNSET? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for SWORD OPERA, whose 0-5-0 this turn dropped them by
4 into 7th. Ha! THE NATURALS XI turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in
the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Tsk,
tsk, BLUE BEARD beat SUPPURATING CORPSE and SUPPURATING CORPSE lost 9 points. You're
breakin' my heart. BAUMGARTEN challenged SUNSET's Duelmaster for a shot at the
throne. And if variety is the spice of life, SUNSET may be getting bland, as
SKYDANCER stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I
telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, SUNSET?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. REAL
BEER, 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 who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was GRIM FANDANGO. Ha ha ha ha! ACE
was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to VOLLEYBALL of SPORTS for
challenging up by 19 to ACE. VOLLEYBALL won to get 78 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for SUNSET's
morgue. More variety. I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else.
Anyway, this turn it came. MALACODA's 7-6-0 has earned him the Dark Arena. Honor is
like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will
doubtless rebuke me on this one.
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. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Azraelus -- Welcome to Sunset, may your stay be long and blood soaked! As you
probably figured out, Ultraist is on a little vacation, as are some other managers I'd
like to see active around here. But I am always here, and my dance card's always
open. Looking forward to crossing blades with you when you're done with the DA mill.
A nice start with the one you did fight. Good luck! -- Stik and Grim Fandango
Gracilils -- Yeah, I do pack a punch! Looking forward to quickly hacking you into
submission again sometime! -- Bonedust
Psoas Major -- That's exactly how I saw it going in my mind! -- Tusk
All -- At last, Drane finally graduates. I said a few years ago that I wasn't going
to run scum anymore, but this rollup came along and there was no choice, I couldn't
resist! He is 16(+1)-21(+2)-5-11(+1)-21-9-7(+2), master-parry, exp-defense, BS,
low/low, learns defense. He never TV'd but that's all right, my goal was to soak as
many wins out of him as possible, and that went swimmingly! He's off to retirement in
Talahya, unless he runs in the scumfest at some point. For his last fight I'm
challenging the lungers for the classic matchup, see if he can watch'em eat sand one
more time! -- Stik
I Magi and The Naturals -- Good to see you active again! -- Stik and GF
