DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
That Kung-Fu Master is such a joke! He comes out with NO WEAPONS and expects to
defeat ME? Ha! I didn't even need the Dark Root to take care of him.
Go-Fer
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CALEAM! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week CRACKED TANKARD went 2-0-0 to move up 4 in
the rankings. MEAD caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested POPPA LODE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, MEAD put down POPPA LODE, causing him to lose 17 points of
recognition in the process. Not for nothing has GO-FER in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his 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 CALEAM.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in CALEAM. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell,
and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
That assassin MAY have been noble, but he was no gentleman! And if I find out who
set him to assassinate me, Go-Fer, there will be blood spilled. It is not my habit
to make threats, but this is TOO MUCH. -- Lady Protector Miss Priss
That the hairy little Khalhums Dwarf is listed as a stinking CAT is as offensive as
me being listed as the same. What the HECK is the Commission using to figure these
things out? Not a brain, or common sense, or information on the races of Alastari,
that's for sure! -- Poppa Lode, Shewish and proud of it
Mead -- Just a hint: never come out on the sands totally mokus. It puts you at a
handicap, especially if you're matching with someone like me who works as a bouncer
at the Golden Canyon Saloon. -- Bouncer
Fire Water -- And a fiery little thing you are indeed! But something of a
contradiction, too. Still, good luck at the tourney, which I presume is your goal?
-- Korbel

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists
