DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. The titles and of "Duelmaster" and "Lord Protector" both from one fight--it was a good turn! Last turn I bloodfeuded Mighty Bosstone for the second time. In truth, no explanation is needed. Bossy killed Mordecai so any bloodfeud is fair game. Ullrich got first shot at it. When that failed, I got the job. So why a second bloodfeud? Because I knew all I needed to graduate was one more political point. A win, any win, would guarantee it. Bossy could guarantee that win. Plus, if I could graduate last turn it would allow me to enter the tournament immortal--always a comforting thought. Indeed that plan went well. So Bossy was merely the victim of my need for a win. The tournament itself started well with three straight wins. Sadly it went downhill from there. No other Tribesmen fought so there isn't a whole lot of news from that front, although we do need to send a shout out to Grim Fandango--bummer about the loss of Shroud. But welcome to the new guy--guys now. So who gets my challenge for my last turn in Sunset? I'm pretty sure I can beat Lagerkvist, so that's tempting. But I really do want to see what Toad Licker is made of. Not literally, of course, the whole toad thing is a bit off-putting, but in general. Plus, that whole Cosmic team needs to be brought back down to earth a bit. So Toady gets my first challenge. Lager got the other. But I am hoping to be able to hand Cosmic Freak Out a badly needed loss. --Lord Protector Thelonius, Duelmaster of Sunset SPY REPORT I can't believe the violence in SUNSET! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... What was the name of that team who got 3-1-0 this turn for a total 488-413-17 you ask? (Sure) GRIM FANDANGO's their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for RESERVE GUARD? LIGHT BRIGADE's proud of him after beating ULLRICH BLADESONG and getting 21 points. Talk about yer major upsets! LAGERKVIST's match with PILSON cost him a loss of 12 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! THELONIUS stopped SURLY DECKHAND dead in his tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said SUNSET's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Wildlife Unlimited? Don't look at me! AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. GRIM FANDANGO was SUNSET's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are NOMADIC TRIBE? GRIM FANDANGO, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can COSMIC FREAK OUT's MELLOW FELLOW be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? See if I ever talk to TOAD LICKER again! BARON TONE was so low when He challenged he. Hhmph! I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in SUNSET. TOAD LICKER got 2 points after beating BARON TONE, 18 points below him. People were asking me did BEULLA BALLBREAKER REALLY challenge SUCKER PUNCH? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but SUCKER PUNCH wants me to write about it since he overcame BEULLA BALLBREAKER. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All SUNSET ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. It was kind of sad, seeing old GROG SWILLER stumbling around the arena, before MUTABA IRO finished him off. Oh well! What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its been really albendranius!

Perhaps the stage really is your calling? -- Mauler Sugar Magnolia -- You have good pitch, rather a sweet, not to say saccharine, tone, but good pitch. Too bad you're a golem, or we could use you in the opera. -- Baron Tone P.S. Madam Butterfly won't consider a golem for anything. Set against them. The Magic Shroom -- It makes my head ache, and that makes me mad. So: Whammo. Let other people freak, it isn't for me. -- Rose Lamont Raider -- I suppose if you're determined to make that raid, you will, but if you run them up the flagpole, there will be heck to pay. -- Saralee Jo Lead Instructor -- Ah.
