DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, Lapur!
I finally beat Vagan after my third try! What a great victory and a great
reward with my invitation to the Isle! I will be joining old and new teammates in
Home Guard next turn. I will miss this grand city I have called home for these many
years. A toast to Lapur!
Ravage
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in LAPUR this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as
THE TAKEN is pushed out of top team by SHADOWMIST, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0
this turn. The BLACK SAMURAI guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched
in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see,
GRIEVOUS fought BORAN RAGNARSON and gained 14 points and contributed to THE TAKEN's
3-2-0. BORAN RAGNARSON has lost to GRIEVOUS, falling 12 points, while helping make
THE GUILD a 0-5-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, RAVAGE kept THE
GUILD's warrior, ZOT, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Burning Tree uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the SHADOWMIST stable was
the most avoided team this turn. Come on LAPUR, what are you afraid of? And guess
who avoided SHADOWMIST stable the most? Believe it or not, it was BLACK SAMURAI.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was THE GUILD's warrior ZOT.
More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in LAPUR and I've a long road ahead of me.
Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in LAPUR again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Shadowmist -- What is that? Four or five of mine now killed by you? There's a whole
lot of payback coming your way sometime, pal. Fair warning given. -- Black Samurai
Vagan -- Our colleague, Pocket News, will eagerly await you in Storm Rock. -- the
Cardow Hunters
Guido -- It happens. -- Jorja
Our congratulations to Ravage. Go ravage them on the Isle! -- Jorja and the Cardow
Hunters
Drat. One-four, with the newcomer getting the win because it was over a standby.
Not our finest nine minutes. -- Red Mare, for the Cardow Hunters
Prexus -- The increased humidity that came with your mist just played HELL with my
normal action. The farmers are all cheering, they seem to feel rain is good, but *I*
don't like it. -- Sandstorm
Draaf -- "Exciting"? Who was excited by that fight? Not me. Were you? Was it the
fans who were throwing vegetables that had passed their use-by date? -- Red Mare
P.S. You could have taught me something, but I suppose it would have required
moving.
Yezura -- Well, I suppose I *was* the one more experienced in losing. But I wanted a
*new* experience, like... winning. -- Windglass
Shine -- I just about *had* that deer, but you went and flashed and startled it. --
Hunter
I AM NOT A DWARF. Somebody FIX that, I'm Rirorni and proud of it. -- Dances with
Rain
Ravage -- Yet another fine effort, m'Lady. -- Vagan
Jayla -- Well, I came out on top this time, but you still scare me. -- Zot
Nekoda -- If I had to lose, at least it was a good fight. -- Boran
