DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I have held on long enough. Ravage, that was another fine effort. You
gave me a heck of a scare, breaking my staff right off the bat like that. I will be
heading for Storm Rock to join Hope's End and a few others. Honor and Glory to all!
Lord Protector Vagan
P.S. For the curious, Vagan is 11(1)-11-11-15-17-3-17, Masters in Attack and
Initiative, Ad Ex Parry. I believe he is entirely mode. He got the Not-So-Great
Axe, Moderate/Low, and the Bash Tactic.
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LAPUR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, THE GUILD, since THE TAKEN
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-0-0
is nice, but don't get cocky, THE TAKEN, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are
proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SERENA win a fight and gain 17
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SHINE beat HUNTER and HUNTER lost 7 points. You're
breakin' my heart. Looks like LAPUR has some guts at least, VAGAN the Duelmaster was
this turn's most-challenged warrior. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
RAVAGE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh.
The Burning Tree, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get
this stuff? From LAPUR's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? THE TAKEN was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble...
mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see,
well, whatcha know? It was BLACK SAMURAI. Ha ha ha ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone
else. Anyway, this turn it came. ZORCH's 8-10-0 has earned him the Dark Arena. Bye
bye, warrior, bye bye... HIRONOBU, a glorious 10-6-1 fighter, has passed away. Gee,
too bad BLACK SAMURAI. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in LAPUR to get a drink than The Burning Tree!
Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too.
Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Sorry for no personal ads last cycle, I just spaced 'em, along with Vagan's
column. -- Guido
Ravage -- Another good fight. I think I might actually have been helped by you
breaking my weapon. -- Vagan
Serena -- I am a little surprised, but I say that a lot when I win. Thanks for the
rating. -- Zot
Hironobu -- That helps, but not enough. -- Zorch
Arlus -- Hmm, not very good learns for either of us. I assume we will match up
again, if so, I hope we both get more out of it. -- Boran
Grumblebone -- I'm sure Zargas's death wasn't intentional, so we consider the matter
closed. -- Vagan and the Guild
Serena -- Well, that seals it. -- Zorch
Abodeen Daltry -- I can't think of anything to say without sounding cocky. Nice try?
-- Boran
Ravage -- You know, I'm 10-2 over my last 12 fights. The two are both to you. Go
play with Vagan! -- Zot
Arlus -- Well, at least Guido gave me a chance to show something. Unfortunately, I
failed miserably. -- Kirdoc
Blue Lightning -- Okay, now I'm really confused. -- Boran
Our congratulations to Vagan. Well done. -- Jorja and the Cardow Hunters
Two-three, and a death. Now it's Blue Lightning who can't conduct an orchestra.
Tough on him, but better him than me, right? -- Red Mare for the Cardow Hunters
P.S. We'd write more, but it seems that the Hands on the Keyboard are involved in
the tourney spy report and "too busy for that stuff." Bummer.
So, to those we fought -- Good fight. -- We who fought you
