DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Tsk, the Venomous Concubine? How sad. How USELESS.
Mikela Poole
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ZORPUNT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. DO HICKEY caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested TIGER SHARK and was awarded 12
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ULTIMATE SIN put
down TIRALEA FLETE, causing her to lose 3 points of recognition in the process. Not
for nothing has MIKELA POOLE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and
this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.
Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ZORPUNT. ZORPUNT, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is KRILL CAVALRY, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding KRILL CAVALRY. Indeed it was MONEY PIT. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. TIRALEA FLETE take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in ZORPUNT.
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Does Nothing -- Yours, too? Well, I can feel a real kinship for you, then. -- Teri
Lark
Takes Credit -- Oh, he DOES, does he? Then maybe I should send my manager after
him in a bloodfeud. Bet that'd crank his socks. -- Ghost of Artimer Flete
Well, I wouldn't call the Userous Merchant USELESS, exactly, but still, I could have
done better with a real opponent, I bet. -- Tiralea Flete

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
