DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, Lillian, I like to see a wench who knows her place! Below me. Don't get
upset when I put my foot on your, er, when I put my foot on you. That's just to make
a statement. Make sure that you and EVERYONE knows what the score is.
Ace
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt SUNSET will ever be the same. D.R.I. stable has parlayed this turn's 5-0-0
into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work,
guys! On their very first turn, LITERATE LOONS had a 5-0-0, and with this kind of
luck or skill, should do well. Welcome to SUNSET. And let's see, ADDUCTOR MAGNUS
fought SCYTHE and gained 26 points and contributed to MUSCLE MEN's 1-0-0. SCYTHE has
lost to ADDUCTOR MAGNUS, falling 22 points, while helping make GRIM FANDANGO a 1-4-0
turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ACE remains SUNSET's
top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last
night, cramped under the table at Cagliostro's Castle?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. D.R.I. has cause to stand tall, as they were
SUNSET's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess
who avoided D.R.I. stable the most? Believe it or not, it was EQUITES VIRTUS.
Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that BREAKSPERE from SWORD OPERA
was SUNSET's most challenged warrior this turn.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in SUNSET and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

PERSONAL ADS
Stik and Toker -- Thank you both for the warm welcome. I should be playing on and
off here as tournaments permit. I look forward to matching blades with you on the
sands! -- One Armed Bandit, mgr. of Sea Dogs
Grim Fandango -- My condolences on the loss of your warrior. Parrot Keeper, my
rookie TV from the previous tournament, must sit out for the next two turns in order
to be eligible for the Initiates class in the upcoming tournament. I will do my best
to get my strategies in promptly after that tournament so that you may avenge his
death. -- One Armed Bandit
Noachian -- I and the rest of Sunset (I'm reasonably certain, anyway) welcome you
back with open arms, wide grins and freshly sharpened scimitars! Do stay a bit
longer this time! Drop by the "Double B" tonight, tequila's on us! -- Stik and Grim
Fandango
Toker -- Take heart, my fine fellow manager. Arturius was but one decent rollup.
More will follow. Blades up! -- Stik
Parrot Keeper -- Well, that's what you get when you absent-mindedly throw out your
newbie dixie basher to challenge a just-gone-11-3 TV. At least I got a decent
replacement outta the deal! Let's hope he works out better than the "great"
replacement your manager supplied me in Trocar a few turns back! -- Stik
Reaganomics -- Aahh, come on back out and play, now.... -- Grim Fandango
Djininski -- Wow, thought I'd last longer than that, but I'll take my skills and
ratings and head for the arena door, thank you! -- Tusk
Tusk -- Ah, and where did YOU come from, my friend? I don't seem to have seen you
around. And I wouldn't have missed those teeth. I can't imagine how you escaped
being identified as an orc! -- Djininski
P.S. It takes real talent to trip over your own teeth, does it not?
Solstice -- I care nott for thys loss, as wee have past ye solstice nowe and are
uppon ye warming course. And I wot thatt ye sooner wee gett there, ye better! It ys
cold as ye devil's toenails! -- Breakspere
Lillian Lust -- Ace is a <deleted>. Feel free to kill him in an alley. -- Madam
Butterfly
Momoro Wa -- And people think DUCKS have strange names. Yours sounds like something
a cow might answer to. And cows are such stupid mammals. -- Duckbert
Mushiku Bo -- Ah, a peppery redhead, are you? But pepper's not enough. You need
accuracy, too. -- Diva Nashona
Arturius (ghost of) -- I wouldn't even mind if it was personal, if you were still
alive. I hate to see a good opponent go down. -- Djininski
Doozie Bastnado -- I tremble with fear. -- Diva Nashona
