DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I wish to thank Tiger Shark for this chance to win--over my head, so I'm
probably in trouble as a result, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts--and for ALL THOSE
SKILLS! Five skills, two ratings, the win and the title? Am I lucky, or what? Um,
don't answer that. 'Specially since I'm probably coming up on seriously UN-lucky.
Mikela Poole
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZORPUNT games. DO HICKEY caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested AMBITIOUS GUARD and was awarded
14 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, IRMEAN put down
TAIPAN, causing him to lose 4 points of recognition in the process. Although
VENOMOUS CONCUBINE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious MIKELA POOLE. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that
he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in ZORPUNT these days is KRILL CAVALRY. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of MONEY PIT are catching the
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after ULTIMATE SIN. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ZORPUNT as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by
the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Irmean -- If that means "meaner than mean," you are definitely it. This is not the
way I wanted to end my winning streak. -- Ghost of Bill Poole Jr
Taipan -- But you should be wearing ethnic clothing! Silk with embroidery and
sequins, and shuffly slippers. At the LEAST you should have a...an unusual hairdo,
and some face paint. This is terribly disappointing. -- Artimer Flete
Ultimate Sin -- Dark chocolate. Rich, dark chocolate. Lots and lots of rich, dark
chocolate. Yeah.... -- Tiralea Flete
Absorb All -- Or at least, absorb some? Good going, for one of your type and
character. -- Teri Lark

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
