DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I have finally fought my way back to the throne. Guido tells me he's not
sure he's ever had a warrior lose the throne and go that long before taking it again.
Lucky me. He also says I should get my Invitation as long as I don't fall out of the
Challenger Champs. I hope to simply win and not have to worry about it. I have
issued no challenges or avoids, so let the chips fall where they may.
Zot
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in LAPUR! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, THE TAKEN had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE GUILD! Way to go THE GUILD! MVP
award for RISUI? BLACK SAMURAI's proud of him after beating BAK SHIELDBORN and
getting 20 points. Talk about yer major upsets! BAK SHIELDBORN's match with RISUI
cost him a loss of 9 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I
think ZOT should let RED MARE be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.
Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. THE TAKEN was LAPUR's most avoided team. Is there some award for
that? Is there some deep dark secret why BLACK SAMURAI's been avoiding THE TAKEN so
much? Or is it just that they're too scared?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All LAPUR ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Hey! Quit laughing! Just because SERENA had 14-11-1 was no
reason for SHADOWMIST to send her to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Fight, fight, fight.
Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Nekoda -- Very pleasant surprise! -- Yezura
Sandstorm -- We all shine down here. -- Shine
Boran -- Once again a great fight, my thanks. -- Grievous
Hunter -- Toads, Toads, Toads. Smack, Smack, Smack! -- Toadsmacker
Congrats to Serena on your invitation. -- Stillgard
Dances with Rain -- Beanpole? Well, I guess it's all relative. -- Wyren
Serena -- Congratulations on your Invitation. With any luck, I will soon follow
suit. -- Zot
Grievous -- I'm beginning to not like you very much. -- Boran
Risui -- Um, this is kind of hard to say. It's been great and all, but I really
think we should fight other people. It's not you, it's me, but I don't think this
exclusive thing is working out. You're a great warrior, and I'm sure, in time,
you'll find someone else to fight. -- Mosidae
Soyuse -- Whew. -- Wyren
Dances with Rain -- Unlike my teammate, I think you are better off as a non-dwarf. --
Fledgeling
Wyren -- And have to pluck my WHOLE FACE instead of just my eyebrows? Gah! -- Dances
With Rain
P.S. Been a lot of rain to dance with lately, too.
Our congratulations to Serena. -- Jorja and the Cardow Hunters
Two-three. Oh, well. -- Red Mare, for the Cardow Hunters
Jayla -- Ha! A killer you may be (typical for a Karnhorn!), but today I was better
than you with a blade. Works for me! -- Sandstorm
Prexus -- How odd. I had this sudden image of you as a "class president," and I
don't even know what that IS. And you asked me to go with you to a "prom." I think
we've been taken over by a couple of souls in limbo who have weird plans. -- Red Mare
Linnaeus -- I don't CARE what the "official name" of that plant is, okay? I totally
don't CARE. -- Windglass
I just got smacked with a toad. Advice to other gladiators, come prepared with toad-
stickers. I'm probably going to have warts all over my arms! Horrible. -- Hunter
Fledgeling -- That's even worse than cudgeling. -- Dances with Rain
