DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hello, Sunset!
This will be my last column. My next fight will bring me to 30 FE, and that was the
goal for tourney purposes. So win, lose, or die you will have a new Dulemaster next
turn. It has been a privilege and an honor. I'd talk about who I was challenging
and all that, but there is not really anyone active so who knows what will happen.
Ashandar, Legion4
SPY REPORT
Hail SUNSET! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as AGE OF EMPIRE is pushed out
of top team by D.R.I., who came from 2nd with a 2-3-0 this turn. MUSCLE MEN stable
has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 8 space move up the rankings. This brings them
up to 8th place. Good work, guys! The EQUITES VIRTUS guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and
deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can
lead. And let's see, SCYTHE fought THE USEROUS MERCHANT and gained 18 points and
contributed to GRIM FANDANGO's 2-3-0. TATTOOED GURU has lost to KOR DOHVA, falling 9
points, while helping make D.R.I. a 2-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the
Duelmaster have failed, and ASHANDAR remains SUNSET'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 Baba Yaga's Bar and Grill until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. GRIM FANDANGO has cause to stand tall, as they were SUNSET's
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding GRIM
FANDANGO more than any other team we find MAGIC CITY MAFIA. SUNSET, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that ACE from
SWORD OPERA was SUNSET's most challenged warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in SUNSET and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in SUNSET again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Stik -- Thanks for the welcome. I plan on being around for a while. Nothing like a
bunch of blind challenges to put me in an early hole. (grin) This is going to be
fun! -- Toker, mgr. Equites Virtus (535)
Var -- Welcome to Sunset! -- Doc Steele, mgr. of Age of Empire
Djininski -- Age my Empire!?! I don't even know where to begin with that one. Our
arena names are apparently related to some game Steele played long ago that he refers
to as the "Age of Empire." Something called D&D, not really sure what that is all
about. Don't strain yourself trying to understand. -- Rajerek, Age of Empire
Crouching Hamster -- Whatt manner of beaste art thou? I have not seen thee like. --
Breakspere
Crouching Hamster -- Cool name. -- Nick
Ashandar -- Ace hates you, aren't you amused? He might, just conceivably, try to
have you stabbed in an alley, but as long as you meet him in the arena, you're
perfectly safe from him. -- Madam Butterfly
Adductor Magnus -- Take that, you egg-sucking mammal! -- Duckbert
Duckbert -- I have never seen the point in sucking eggs. -- Madam Butterfly
Madam Butterfly -- Good. Don't do it. It's despicable. -- Duckbert
Arturius -- Damned young hotshot. -- Djininski
Aemilia -- I doubt that a woman so tall can ever be, well, let's just say that you'd
better go for "elegant and statuesque," dear girl. -- Diva Nashona
P.S. If you really want to be a "pocket Venus," you'll have to associate only with
Shews.
Rajerek -- Yes, I know. That's why I'm glad that I do NOT fight for Age of Empire.
My duty, and I know and perform it to the best of my ability, is to be a better
teacher than a standby and to write personals. No more and no less. -- Djininski
Var -- Coming here to kill off warriors? Well...go for mine. -- Nick, Sword Opera
12 October 2005
Magic Man -- You are a fellow Canadian, are you not? Where do you hail from? I live
in Kelowna, B.C. -- Maximillian, 8,13, 28, 47, 54
5 November 2005
It is with a proud heart that I announce the newest member of the Desolate Empire
alliance. Dok Sik will be known from here forth as Dark Knight Dok Sik, of the
Desolate Empire. May he be blessed with victory and courage. May his enemies' blood
flow freely! -- The Dark Knights Wasby and Toker
