DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am Skunk. Salute me!
I am Duelmaster; you are not.
Some say I stink. But not as much as you all warriors do.
Some say I am dangerous. I am.
Some say I am colorless. Not when I bite.
Some say I spray out my ass. I say beware.
Some say I hate Hokies. Who doesn't?
Some think I am difficult to beat. You betcha!
Go ahead; try it. But you would be better off avoiding.
-- Skunk,
a perfume of a Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail fellow Lapurians! It's time for some shield smashing and swords clashing once
again. This week we honor the city's newest Lord Protector, WAGON DRIVER 3 of BLACK
KELTS. For someone who drives a wagon he wasn't a bad warrior, though I wonder what
happened to drivers 1 and 2. This week he has his farewell fight, likely making
someone famous and a rumor has it that there is a big send off party at Purple Sage's
Market Square. Congrats and farewell. Now let's get down to business.
Eleven teams in the ranks this week, with only Obregon and his WAR PARTY absent. From
those teams we have 16 fights listed and of those, five are challenge fights, with the
remaining 11 being matchups and a few of those against standbys. There was one death
this week, a convicted thief met his maker. The fight for the Title had our returning
champ, if you can call him that, SKUNK of AVOID ME! challenging ENTITLED CITIZEN of
ARMY OF DARKNESS and after 25 boring minutes the Bloke's malodorous warrior slimly
gained victory over Master Beru's indulged warrior. All hail two-time Duelmaster
SKUNK! Just saying that leaves a foul taste in my mouth.
How about some team news. Visionist and his MID EARTH crew continue on their recent
run with a 5-0-1 showing. Jumping from 5th to 2nd is Master Beru and his ARMY OF
DARKNESS, who managed a 3-1-0 result. Rounding out the top 3 is Vlad and his ALMOST
EXACTLY bunch, who held onto the third spot after recording a 3-2-0. The Team on the
Move is once again MID EARTH, who collectively gained 54 points. The Most Avoided Team
is once again the Bloke and his AVOID ME! fearmongers, who received 9 avoids; the next
closest had only three.
Remaining Challenge fights...
APOSTATE POSTMAN of ARMY OF almost challenged BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE HERRINGS, with
Master Beru's rebellious warrior subduing Mr Blue's pickled warrior in 2 minute melee.
ERRATIC EDUCATOR of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged END OF BIDET of ALMOST EXACTLY, with
Master Beru's wayward warrior devastating Vlad's lavatory warrior in a 1 minute
contest.
POX of AVOID ME! challenged POPPY POPPINS of BLACK KELTS, with the Bloke's crabby
warrior defeating Purple Sage's hypnotic warrior in a 1 minute match.
FELONIOUS FRUNK of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged SUE CHEF of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with Vlad's
corrupt warrior being bested by Master Beru's gourmet warrior in a 2 minute gory duel.
My "Fight of the Week" goes to two up and coming warriors, SILENCE of COVEY XIX
fighting SALAZZLE of POKE' MON. After 3 gory minutes, Covey's sullen warrior slimly
gained victory over Poke's lizard warrior. Well fought to you both!
Other individual achievements...
The Biggest Winner is ERRATIC EDUCATOR, who gained 19 points.
The Biggest Loser is END OF BIDET, who lost another 16 points.
This Week's Favorite goes to APOSTATE POSTMAN.
No last minute invitees this week. Guess I better start thinking of an opening for my
next report. 'Til next time.
