DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I certainly didn't foresee this, at least not yet. I know Dominator's
bunch are coming after me, and I suspect I will have other challengers as well. So
be it, if being Duelmaster was easy, it would mean nothing.
Zot
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out LAPUR to see
what's new. Like, THE GUILD had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1
spot by DEVIATION! Way to go DEVIATION! MVP award for HUNTER? CARDOW HUNTERS'
proud of him after beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 19 points. Talk about yer
major upsets! LINNAEUS' match with DONT CALLME CASSIUS cost him a loss of 9 points!
Was that a tear I saw in RAVAGE's eye, as she took over Duelmastership? And wasn't
ZOT fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?
Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. SHADOWMIST
was the most avoided team. Is a 54-46-7 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind
of warriors are DEVIATION? SHADOWMIST, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't
get them to accept an invitation! Like, is LINNAEUS popular, or what? He was
challenged the most in all of LAPUR! He's got a 2-2-0, is that good? I'm not so
sure PERILOUS QUINN knew all the facts when she challenged VAGAN of THE GUILD. I saw
PERILOUS QUINN stumbling and dribbling at The Burning Tree last week... What did
PERILOUS QUINN expect, anyway! Of course VAGAN won. Next time stick to people you
have a chance against, dummy!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. D'ya think YEZURA is feeling guilty for
killing CLAN CROW's STAFFER MCEVILY, a mere boy? Naah, I doubt it. Hey you guys,
don't you think your families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone
write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Ravage -- Sorry to take your spot away from you like that. Perhaps I'll see you at
the Isle, hopefully soon. -- Hope's End
Perilous Quinn -- Didn't we just do this? I'm glad I could change the outcome this
time. -- Vagan
Grumblebone -- Grumble, grumble, grumble... -- Zargas
Enigma -- You still scare me. -- Zot
Sandstorm -- I'm beginning to think I'm not cut out for this gladiator stuff. --
Zorch
Enigma -- There may have been shenanigans, but I assure you I had no part in them. --
Hope's End
Jorja -- You have my thanks. -- Hope's End
Hopes End -- Aren't you gone yet, geesh. -- Ravage
Zot -- How do you do that? I think I need to pull out the big stick! -- Enigma
Zargas -- I thought you had me, good fight. -- Grumble
Rookie Mistake -- Guess your name says it all! ;) -- Yezura
Ummm, which way to the arena again? -- An embarrassed Shine
A fine mess! An outgoing Lord Protector defeats the sitting duelmaster, so neither
of THEM can take the title. And it goes to someone else on points. At least there
WAS someone else at hand. Congratulations, Zot.
Zot and Zorch -- Captured Orcs are better because it doesn't matter what happens to
them. And they're absolutely forbidden to improve their fighting ability. --
Sandstorm
P.S. And besides, they're orcs.
Zorch -- It was a very good attack, but you should be aiming it elsewhere. -- Red
Mare
Two-three, how tedious and familiar.
Ali Boombah Yay -- Not my kind of music. Much too elephantine. -- Windlgass
Zorch -- You have to be careful where you put your arms during a fight. I'm AIMING
for those arms. -- Sandstorm
P.S. I'm sure a third arm would be convenient, though difficult to clothe.
Hironobu -- Oh, yes, I LIKE fights that go that way. Very good. Thanks. -- Red Mare
Abodeen Daltry -- Huh. You look at me and you say, "This guy knows how to lose.
Fine, let him do it!" Bummer. -- Hunter
Staffer McEvily -- But we just DID this! -- Morning Drum
