DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am probably more surprised than anyone that I am here. I want to thank the
Middle Way warriors for all the skills they taught me while they were kicking my butt
on the way here. That is likely the only reason I won. I will defend, of course.

SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to GARBAGE PAIL KIDS, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the THE MIDDLE WAY 4 stable. Hey everybody,
watch out for NELLIE QUARRELS, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing
TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. ZOEE was overcame by KEOKUK MOON and drops 6
points. It's a proud day for the SAY MY NAME stable, as their warrior, SAURON,
ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get
a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in LYRATILAN have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Kharadmon -- I apologize for the death of Colon 911. I assure you it was not
intentional. I was aiming right arm. I never aim at the vitals unless someone has
killed one of mine and I am bloodfueding. I hope you get a godling replacement. --
Padre, mgr Harem
Well now THAT was unexpected. Colin: 7-12-7-21-12-4-21, +3 attack, +1 def. And to
think I avoided the past two tourneys with him in an attempt to keep him alive. Ah,
well. Looks like this team gets placed in the dead binder till he makes it out.
Later, all. -- Kharadmon
Colin -- I would say "you're welcome to those skills," but the issue is moot now. We
deeply regret your death. -- Gaspar Huelco and all the Middle Way
Fun Gus -- I don't know how it happened that we matched AGAIN, but I did NOT like it.
-- Hubert Kombun
Bill Board -- No, I'm good at the killing of houseplants. I just glance into the
room, and they wither and die. Maybe it's my mouthwash? -- Keokuk Moon
Zoee -- Here in Lyratilan, the city of werewolves, being likened to a pit-bull is
surely not so bad? -- Arizona Bates
And generally, we went three-two, defeating standbys and losing to managed
gladiators. What a surprise. -- Gaspar Huelco

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
There was a line outside the Gladiatorial Commission's registry office. There
often was, but surely not now? Alarond the Scribe, who had drawn office duty today,
frowned at them.
A stocky, fit, moderately handsome gladiator stepped up to the counter. "I want a
name-change," he said. "How can I do my best known as," he shuddered, "'Dangling
Eyeball'? My name is Joe, and I want to use it."
A small and very shapely woman stepped up beside him. "And I am really tired of
being known as 'DA Bait'." She smiled, causing Alarond to sway where he stood. "I'd
like to be known as... Aphrodite, I think."
The others crowded forward, each advancing a claim, the babble of voice rising to
a roar, the crowd beginning to look like a mob--and every member of it armed and
dangerous.
Alarond raised his hands to quiet them, without much success. He raised his
voice, too. "We'll do it! A Name-Change-O-Rama, as soon as we can get the paperwork
lined up! Two or three months, maybe--"
The gladiators howled in protest at the delay.
"No, listen! The files here are HUGE, it will take time to get everything
straight. You've got to be patient. It WILL happen!"
