DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Sunset,
As I predicted, I'm now on my way to the Isle of the Eye. I leave the throne to
whoever has the determination to take it. I suspect, before long we'll see Ashandar
dominating. At least until he hits his tournament breakpoints....
Well, I'm off to the dark arena in hopes of inflating our kill count so we can
pass SOS in kills!
Horns,
Iron Council
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Coming up with
a solid 4-1-1 outing, AGE OF EMPIRE has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Hey
everybody, watch out for STEELAWAY, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after
mashing DEUCE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in
the top ten was DEUCE, who dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say the least)
bout with STEELAWAY. Unlike most arenas, HORNS managed to get hers challenge off
against the 0-0-0 STONE GOLEM. The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM
killed the Duelmaster, HORNS, leaving BLACKEST PRIDE in mourning. This incredible
death has allowed, I might add, BAUMGARTEN from I MAGI to ascend to the throne of
Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed
protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that SONS OF SATAN was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of SONS OF SATAN's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like
to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause MAGIC CITY MAFIA beats feet every
time SONS OF SATAN smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if
challenges were votes, ACE would be president. Although it may be a contest he
doesn't want to win. Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying
RAJEREK will do. He challenged 17 points down to trash MOON DANCE. Definition of
petty: RAJEREK defeated MOON DANCE, a mismatch of 17 points. In a touching display
by a 'touched' warrior, ASYLUM went after BAUMGARTEN, who was higher by 24 points.
Well, when the dust settled, ASYLUM was subdued by BAUMGARTEN. BONEDUST of GRIM
FANDANGO had better have a good reason for challenging down 10 points in a challenge
which he lost. I thought BONEDUST showed great skill and promise when he was bested
by PELHAM. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). KHORAG defied all odds and slew WURM KIN in
the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as WURM KIN's meat is
notoriously tough. There's got to be more reason for the sending of BLUE BEARD to
the Dark Arena than his record (6-4-0). Anybody got any ideas NASTY MOB? Here's
some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail
to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the SUNSET giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Ultraist -- You think we'll do well? Number one and number two right? -- Azrael
Saint, Keeper of Lists -- My apologies, but I am returning to the use of the name
Azrael. I only changed for the story I was doing in Jhans and no longer am working
on it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No worries, I've changed it back. -- The Saint, keeper of lists
Assur -- Well, we didn't find out much from the manager census, but at least we know
where all the damn bashers are coming from (aside from the one I DA'd)! ;) You need
to speak up once in a while; what fun is flying under the radar?? -- Stik
Lord Protector Horns -- Congrats on your invite, however I'm surprised it took you,
an aimer, so long to take down the Slime. I did it in under two minutes the last two
times we met, the last time with a longspear for a weapon! -- Lord Protector
Skydancer, throwing zingers from retirement!
Diva Nashona -- Better luck next time, I think you'll be just fine judging from what
I saw and that rating you picked up! -- Steelaway
Damion -- Aaahh, yeah...not sure what the hell you're talking about there, but hey,
you get a gold star for actually writing a personal! -- Stik
P.S. If you don't like running hopeless crap, there's always the D.A.... I've had
decent luck with it lately.
Khorag -- You are a persistent little cuss, aren't you? I'm guessing "hit'em low and
keep moving" is your motto. -- Tusk
P.S. Good to see your manager staying active here, even if he won't put pen to paper
(or fingers to keyboard) any more!
Gaius -- Thought I had you, it usually only takes one for me to get it done and head
to the double-B for a frosty one post haste! -- Bonedust
E.T. -- Easy enough to talk tough when you've got a TV, a four bracket separation,
and a 6 arena fight advantage on me and I've not fought in a tourney yet. Perhaps
again someday in ADM if we both make it there.... -- Bonedust
Deuce -- Seems like my moon is waning...Old Man says I've got one more chance or I'll
be fighting by torchlight most likely. -- Moon Dance
Bounty Hunter -- Yeah, I rock.... -- Brute Shot
Volleyball -- I'll be seeing you again.... -- Icon
Baumgarten -- That didn't go as planned.... -- Asylum
Stik -- Just admit it, you were lost while I was absent. -- Ultraist
Lady Protector Horns of Blackest Pride -- The Greywand says you shall be given lands.
King Cyrath says that you can get your lands from the Greywand, if she wants you to
have them. Arenamaster Harth says it's MY job to tell you this. What did I do to
deserve this? At this moment, all I can offer you is a free ticket to the mainland.
But if you want to work with me on the problem (leering slightly), we might be able
to come up with something more lasting in the way of a graduation gift. -- Alamar,
Gladiatorial Lands Commissioner (but remember, it's an empty title, as there ARE no
gladiatorial lands)
Horns -- Wretched woman! You were OUT TO GET ME. I could tell. I hope your boat
sinks on the way to the mainland. -- Ace, bad loser
Swimming -- They do say it's good for your wind, but that fight wasn't long enough to
show. -- Djininski
Burm N'hamm -- Ah, one of the "crimelords" that mammals seem to be so fond of. Go
away. -- Duckbert
P.S. In a just and equitable world, one ruled by Ducks, there would be no
crimelords.
Jasper -- Now, ma'am, I know that YOU are no crimelord! Maybe a "moll," but that is
no problem. I'd like to get friendly with a moll. -- Deuce
Steelaway? A sort of anti-magnet, perhaps? -- Diva Nashona
