DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A Venomous Concubine? Really! I thought for a second I had a new worshiper
offering a sacrifice. But I sensed the foulness within in time.
I was planning on spiffing up the place and bringing prominence to Morya, but
the commission decided to keep the downtrodden in their place and told me it was time
to fly.
I enjoyed it while it lasted. I appreciate all the ones who participated on my
journey to this lofty position. Hopefully, Cas will stop smithing his gear long
enough to win one and succeed me. Take it easy on my replacement, I don't wan to be
recalled to have to roast anyone. With that, I'm off.
Scarlet
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Say good-bye to THE DEATH LORDS, as they are pushed from the coveted
top team spot by the ISIS PTAH stable. A stormcloud is brewing over the THE DEATH
LORDS guildhouse. Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team
to the Dark Arena. Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 outing, EXPENSE ACCOUNT has advanced
6 places in the rankings. ISIS PTAH is no joke as it posted a 5-0-0 week advancing
from 2nd place to 1st place. Hey everybody, watch out for THERIAULT, who flew up 12
points in the rankings after mashing GOPHER BROKE like a melon. Keep your eye on
this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. AUTUMN LEAVES
was bested by ACCRUED INTEREST and drops 9 points. WHITE BECT got through to the
Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to kick SCARLET's tail out
of the throne! In front of all the crowds, WHITE BECT took the Duelmaster's crown
for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an
onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that STEEL AND SILK was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of STEEL AND SILK's warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like
to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause EXPENSE ACCOUNT beats feet every
time STEEL AND SILK smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this WHITE BECT you
ask, with 146 points and a 19-11-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
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?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. 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
Lord Protector and Duelmistress Scarlet -- Congrats and bye-bye. -- Finance Manager
Pyrite -- Burning stamps is a serious offense, you know? Cut it out! -- Postage
Shaka Zulu -- You really messed up my program. Can't you be a little nicer to me? --
Software
All -- May your economies of life prosper like a fertilized flower. -- Finance
Manager
P.S. And may you get rich, too!
Scarlet -- I challenge you! You need to beat me to prove you deserve the throne! --
White Bect, trying to come back...
Almost all the team is waiting for the next tourney... so... sorry for not being very
active... -- Le Pentarque
Software -- Maybe Boud is like Baud. A baud is a variable unit of data transmission.
In our match you tended to be really active, until exhausted. -- Boudicca
Aren't we all.
White Beet -- I always give new meaning to the phrase "Jack your jaw." Too bad I
never get the chance to quote "Off with his head" even once! -- Cascella
Khalhums Dwarf -- Aren't you glad you didn't lose your head? Any shorter and all
that's left is a halfling. -- Chandalen
Kung-Fu Master -- How does an unarmed ballerina best my full defense? -- Jennsen
Probably innate magic.
Lily of Sarmatia -- Listen, Dame, it's just not working out between us. You're a
horse woman and I'm from sheep country. -- Theriault
Pop Target -- If I keep losing, I'm going to need a connection to an auction just to
be able to sell off all the torches before Lord Rahl sees them! -- Theriault
Scarlet -- It was not my swan song. I am not and have never been and (I hope) never
WILL be a swan. But who knows what weird ideas Jorja might get.... -- Ghost of
Cloudrider
Chandalen -- Well, you know how it is. A woman learns to twitch a hip, flutter an
eyelash, and she'll take on most any man. -- Madeline
Theriault -- At least you have two. -- Pop Target
Lord Rahl -- And I can't even find a valid Book of Counted Shadows to help. Drat. --
Jorja
Garrot -- I don't *like* flashy fights, even if the fans do. I want something over
quickly, with me winning. Is that too much to ask? -- Lily of Sarmatia
Our congratulations to Scarlet, a dragon deserving of immortality. -- Jorja and the
Dodge Bullets crew
Whatever tourney that was, we salute the participants. -- Jorja and the Dodge Bullets
crew again
Garrot -- Ah, you can't fool an old guy like me. I've seen that trick before. -- Pop
Target
Ahriman -- Somehow I never visualized you as a golem. Raises intriguing theological
points, does it not? -- Madeline
Hades -- Tcha! You young hotshots think you know it all, but you don't. Not quite,
anyway. -- Gopher Broke
Theriault -- I was inspired by the Surprise Lily that just came up outside our
guildhouse. You know these plants? Big tufts of leaves in the spring, but they
don't seem to do anything else. Then they die down. And after two or three months
of "nothing there at all," suddenly you get knee-high stalks, no leaves, with these
pink-mauve lilies on top. I can't say the color is my most favorite, but I like 'em
anyway. -- Lily of Sarmatia
Boudicca -- Oh, cheese louise, lady! You'd think a warrior queen would know about
weapons--there are plenty you can use without invoking that penalty statement.
Anything that isn't two-handed, probably. Has your manager been through Noblish
Island? There's a chart that appears there once every ten turns that would probably
help you a lot. If you can't get to it, I suppose Jorja would try something in the
diplo line, but she's so unreliable about mailing things, you don't want to count on
that. -- Autumn Leaves
