DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Good day, Zorpunt! Turn the clock back with me to turn 484. That's the last time I
fought on the sands here in our fine city. It was my first defense of the throne I
had earned on turn 483 taking over for my comrade Croconaw who had been DM for the
six previous turns. He had taken the duelmastership on the ninth fight of his young
career at a record of 8-1-1. He was inducted to AD later at 13-2-1 including a loss
to Stone Golem on his last fight here. In short, the last nine turns we have fought
here, the duelmaster has been from our stable, and I'm looking to extend that streak.
We've returned to tune up for tournament combat. Noble has informed us that the
squad will be participating in the festivities this Summer so we should be
participating in most of the turns between now and then. Not much has changed since
we left, the arena is still struggling to attract squads and the crowds seem to be
pretty subdued. James T. Jerk still only has the one loss (handed to him by our very
own Tentacruel)--we'd like to add to that total, but he looks fairly impressive from
what we've scouted. Still, like most of Noble's stables, we pride ourselves in
fighting the best competition available, so any of you who are willing step on up and
let's get it on!
This turn, we sent Gyrados to test Captain Jerk's resolve. If our man is successful,
I might give James a chance for the throne next turn, but let's take it one turn at a
time, shall we? It's nice to be back amongst you, Zorpunt! Tournament fighting is
fine, but there's no place like home!
Wartortle
SPY REPORT
Good day, in ZORPUNT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as AUSSIE KILLERS is pushed out of top team by WATER DECK, who came from
2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, BUBBA JONES fought THE USEROUS MERCHANT
and gained 15 points and contributed to KRILL CAVALRY's 3-2-1. PINE LEAF has lost to
TIGER SHARK, falling 10 points, while helping make KRILL CAVALRY a 3-2-1 turn.
Defending his title for another turn, WARTORTLE kept AUSSIE KILLERS' warrior,
STONEFISH, from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the
top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Warty Toad until they win.
Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. STAR DRECK has cause to stand tall, as they were ZORPUNT's
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding STAR
DRECK more than any other team we find WATER DECK. ZORPUNT, are we going to accept,
or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that GYRADOS from
WATER DECK was ZORPUNT's most challenged warrior this turn. In a brave attempt, KING
BROWN SNAKE from AUSSIE KILLERS challenged up 20 points to fight JOE POOLE from the
KRILL CAVALRY stable. KING BROWN SNAKE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he
was beat by JOE POOLE and ended up with 41 recognition points.
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. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
