DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hmmm I was a bit surprised to find me on the lists this past turn matched
against Grassfire. Though a good warrior and one who I am sure will reach the top
soon enough, I found her defense lacking, as she could not stand up to my skill with
a blade. I wish you luck in the future, missy. The boss has given his consent for
me to boast about myself. As I stated last turn I am the first member of the guild
to receive his invite in what they call fight experience. During my fights I learned
skills and achieved the ratings of Master in Attack and Initiative and Advanced
Expert in Decise. I started out my career with win in my first fights, since then I
have won of my last and my last in a row. Here are my stats and favorites,
12(+1)-5-12-17-17-9-13, weapon is Broadsword, rhythm is Very High/Very Low and learn
is Decise. Farewell, Lapur, it has been exciting.
Your Duelmaster and Lord Protector Wenien
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LAPUR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. BLACK SAMURAI turned their 2-2-0 turn
into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see NAOWYN win a fight
and gain 25 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, ANSHIN beat BROADZILLA and BROADZILLA lost
11 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, LAPUR may
be getting bland, as WENIEN stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood
today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, LAPUR?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. METAL
MINCERS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like MID EARTH avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, ANSHIN was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that
ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the LAPUR arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of LAPUR. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back
of this place-- Snide Clemens
