DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Caylon, I gotta tell you, this is a real strain for me. (leaning an elbow on
the bar) I'm basically a simple guy, and EVERYONE else on my team is into fancy
cooking or at least color draping or flower arranging, or any other weird thing like
that. But me, a steak, a baked potato with butter or maybe sour cream, an unassuming
red wine, that's all I ask. Yeah, I know, pretty puny of me, huh? I mean, I even
worked up a fairly fancy steak sauce, since it seemed expected of me. But if it's a
good steak, who needs sauce? A little coarse-ground salt and pepper and it's good to
go. And, yeah, I know, my teammates make a thing about your melons. Well, fine. I
like melons, when you come down to it. PLAIN melons. Yours are good. Who needs a
sauce, or a compote, or a mint garnish, for a really good melon? It's just too much.

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly CALEAM games. CALONYMUS caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SUZETTE CREPPAY and was awarded 18
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CALONYMUS put down
SUZETTE CREPPAY, causing her to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Not
for nothing has MOLDRAUN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. SUZETTE CREPPAY take warning! You have more than a
few enemies in CALEAM.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
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! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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.--

PERSONAL ADS
Pike -- Congrats again on making the "Pros". I tried, you know, just because you
asked, but I'm not sure my singing went over that well at the farewell party. I'm
really not all that much of a singer and the closest I could come to "western style"
were some yodels that Sven taught me before he left. Still, I did think that Up-
Chucky performing "Oh Suzanna" on his armpit lent a festive "air" to the occasion. --
Caylon
Moldraun -- Me think you wrong. Purple not good color for Up-Chucky. Me hate stand
on head. -- Up-Chucky (burp)
Suzette -- Never mind (sigh). My carp is smoked now. And how. -- the sadder but
wiser Calonymus
Short Order Joe -- Well, it looks like you finally found the proper audience to
appreciate your particular brand of cookery. But I'll bet the Happy Peasant was a
lot happier before the entree arrived! -- Calonymus
Suzette (and Ed...whoever you are...) -- Well, the only honey *I* ever use in a
serious recipe is a local wildwood honey, harvested before the sumac blooms. For
baking, I age it another year, at least. I've never had the opportunity to try your
salt-cedar or leatherwood honeys, though from just the names I am intrigued. --
Winstead
I think leatherwood must be Australian, and salt-cedar is from southern New
Mexico. -- Temp Ed.
Corot Toro -- Sorry if I got a bit rough last go, but I thought I could smell
pancakes on your breath, and I guess I just flashed-back, and all I could think was
"Oh no! Not again!!" and well...I just lost it. Bit of advice here: don't go over to
your cousin's for brunch before coming to the arena. Nuff said. (wink) -- Cnut
Moldraun -- UFOs 'n' Aliens??? Geez, I was just thinking another dimension or such
like, you know, results of some bizarre experiment gone horribily wrong. Wow! Do
you think they'll ever bring him back? And would we even know him if they did?
Maybe the Doc and his critters, strange as they were, would be morphed beyond all
recognition. Whoa. -- Caylon
What's that, Suzette? You hid anchovies in my armor as a prank?!? You little minx!
I'm gonna have to keep a closer watch on you from now on. But at least that explains
the sudden interest Tom has taken in me. Cats! -- Dink Gruntling
Tom -- You silly kitty, I meant to do that. Yeah. -- the Dinkster
Tom -- Alright for you, Mr. Famous Feline! Look at all these holes in my armor! And
I just had it cleaned and polished too. You must think this stuff grows on trees,
eh? Wanton vandalism I call it! Somebody's gonna have to pay for this you know.
Where\'s Calvata!?! If this keeps up, I'm definately gonna need a raise.
Definately. -- Dink (the ever frugal) Gruntling
Corot Toro -- I don't think you're nearly as funny as Dink said. Heck, you fell
right over. What's funny about that, I ask you. -- Cnut
Suzette -- I know I said you should feed your pancakes to Calonymus and leave me
alone, but I didn't think you'd really do it! But hey, I tried to warn him that
these arena infatuations never go anywhere. Poor guy. (sigh) He seems a changed
man after spending a couple days on an infirmary cot next to your cousin. (shrugs)
Oh well, live and learn I always say. But mostly, you gotta live. -- Dink
Up-Chucky -- I've given the matter careful thought, since I'm retiring and have time
for careful thought now, and my thought is, maybe you need a plainer, not to say
blander, diet. A little less fat, a little less sugar, and NO soy sauce. We've got
to settle your stomach. It isn't healthy to be throwing up all the time. It's also
tactless, but that isn't really YOUR problem, well, the tactlessness might be, and
the poor judgment to eat stuff you know won't agree with you, but coddled eggs,
buttered rice, bread pudding, something like that? -- Pike
P.S. Macaroni and cheese, if we leave out the mustard, garlic, and salsa? Not that
there's much left if you don't have mustard, garlic, and salsa.
Calonymus -- You shouldn't do this to me, I'll get a swelled head and then my chef's
hat won't fit. Anyway, I'm going to enter in the Chef's Slice and Dice Competition,
and I've been practicing for it. How do you think I'll do? -- Suzette Creppay
The Happy Peasant tried to leave my dinner (I have a dinner on the side of the Golden
Canyon Saloon) without paying for his lunch. Now he's paid, and he isn't quite so
happy. -- Short Order Joe
Cnut Cnuklz -- (groaning) The palate knife effect, ouch! I think you're smearing my
blood too thickly. -- Corot Toro
P.S. Too much of it out and around. Maybe we should try yours, instead.
Calonymus -- Ah! A very sharp knife I can do. Come by in a day or two and check the
result. -- Short Order Joe
Dink -- Works for me. Stay clear. -- Suzette
Winstead -- I'd be glad to give it a try. -- Suzette
P.S. Or should that be addressed to Ed?
Arenamaster Tohre -- Ah, is that a SILVER monogrammed garlic press? -- Pike
