DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It seems that I have graduated to the rank of Professional Chef, which is good.
Someone has to keep the restaurants here and up on the hill working properly. Don't
look for me on the Isle, that's covered by my teammates.
Thanks to all who have helped me reach this point.
Pike
P.S. Epee, with a deftness of 11? I am DEFINITELY not going to the Isle.
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of CALEAM! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with CNUT CNUKLZ? He
actually beat GOLDEN CANYON's COROT TORO, and walked away with 17 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at GOLDEN CANYON while they watched SUZETTE CREPPAY
clobber CALONYMUS. He lost 6 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. Try as he might, UP-CHUCKY wasn't good enough at persuading PIKE to step
down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and
dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was GOLDEN CANYON. The bums at STEEL CRUSADE couldn't face the
challenges from GOLDEN CANYON! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of
being the most challenged warrior, MOLDRAUN! Don't make idle boasts, they may come
back to haunt you. MOLDRAUN didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he
received from CAYLON MCCANN of STEEL CRUSADE, who is 19 points below him. CAYLON
MCCANN perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by MOLDRAUN and ended
up with 80 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to
go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good
skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Short Order Joe -- Your regular clientele must lack imagination. *I* like okra, and
I have found it good even grilled. Though I must admit I prefer it fried, in a spicy
gumbo, or especially whole small pods added to a shrimp creole. But a word to the
wise: the secret to good okra is a very sharp knife. A dull one just bruises the
pods and causes them to become rather slimy and definitely unsavory. -- Calonymus,
with a certain air of authority...when it comes to okra
Sylvester -- MMM! Chat en brochette! It's different, and I think I like it better
than pancakes. -- Cnut
Suzette -- Why don't you stick to feeding Calonymous your pancakes and leave a poor
young squealer alone? Besides, your cousin is much funnier. -- Dink
Couldn't help but notice all these cats in the neighborhood. General Meow's Chicken,
any one? -- Cassius Calvata
Pike -- Well, that is just the story of my life now, isn't it? ALL my admirers seem
to keep it pretty well to themselves. It gets a little tiresome, you know. Every
now and then I wish one of them would just come out in the open and say "Hey dude, I
like what you do with those melons". But it's probably too much to hope for. --
Caylon, still on the shelf
Pike and Moldraun-- Owie, Youch, Oof. -- Up-Chucky (still a man of few words)
Up-Chucky -- Down daisy, boy. -- Moldraun
P.S. You look fair standing on your head. Have you considered making a habit of
this?
Calonymus -- Drat. I knew I shouldn't try to mess with fancy cooking. A melon is
just for slicing and eating, not for including in "compotes" or other weird recipes.
-- Short Order Joe
P.S. It's a good guess that if the recipe or dish doesn't have a plain ordinary
name, it's gonna be weird.
Dink Gruntling -- Anchovy pancakes? I don't think so. I'm not sure I could cook
them, and I *know* that nobody in this guildhouse would eat 'em. -- Suzette Creppay
P.S. Although I have heard of people putting little fish in omelets. Seems a shame.
Caylon McCann -- Could I, perhaps, get you to sing "western style" at my going-away
party? -- Pike
I didn't realize that Fratsfan Noble Brandy was blond. Not that I mind, I was just
surprised. Something based on honey, apparently. -- Corot Toro
Caylon -- Weird flashing lights. (sigh) I've always wanted to see an ufo, and I
always seem to miss them. My vote is, the lab and its contents, and all the hardware
and physical plant, too, were kidnapped by aliens. And anything that qualifies as an
alien in an Alastarian arena town has got to be MAJOR weird. -- Moldraun
Calonymus -- "Golden carp" how? If it's a platter, we could come up with something
intriguing to put on it. -- Suzette
Delores Gribble -- We're trying to toughen him up. -- Pike and Moldraun
Calonymus -- (baffled shake of the head) -- Corot Toro
Winstead -- Of course I must gave weight to your opinion, BUT it depends on the
honey, you know. Have you ever had salt-cedar honey? Forget the pecans, you won't
taste them anyway. -- Suzette
Heck, you should have leatherwood honey. Now THERE'S strong stuff! -- Ed.
Lord Protector Pike -- They tell me something in the way of cooking equipment would
be a good choice for you. How about a monogrammed garlic press? -- Arenamaster Tohre

All -- Just that tired old reminder to check your e-mail settings when you send ads
and such. Please send stuff as plain text rather than as HTML or formatted text.
HAL, being the simple golem it is, doesn't know what to do with anything other than
plain text. Note, this also means it doesn't know what to do with "smart" or "curly"
quotes, whether single or double, em-dashes (rendered here as two hyphens "--") or
everyone's favourite ellipsis (..., aka three dots). -- A public self-service
announcement from your Ed.
