DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, it's been a long, slow road, but finally I have attained the throne. That
makes me the third warrior from my team currently active here who has held the
throne. While my teammates got here much more quickly than I, I'm hoping I can hold
on a bit longer than they managed. May your swords be sharp, and may Ahringol never
find you.
Vagan
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in LAPUR.
Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey everybody,
watch out for GRUMBLEBONE, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing ZARGAS
like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk
out on the sands. ARLUS lost to BORAN RAGNARSON and drops 12 points. What does the
Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in common? They are both the most challenged apes
in human history! Heyheyhey! RAVAGE got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No
doubt she was more than anxious to kick VAGAN's tail out of the throne! Well,
everybody's pal VAGAN moved his record to 17-9-1 by defeating RAVAGE in the
Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 4 recognition points. 4 out of 5 gladiators
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid DEVIATION, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does LAPUR really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try
this one: DEVIATION + Weapons That go Boom = CLAN CROW + Avoid City.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor:
ZARGAS II: THE REMATCH. Carrion Bird Heaven: ZARGAS was dispatched by GRUMBLEBONE
(The true definition of 'Street Pizza'). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category,
YEZURA was mashed by PERILOUS QUINN, who let YEZURA know that killing members of CLAN
CROW is a no-no. Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.
Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the LAPUR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The
