                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Not really sure what to rant about in this column.  I'm curious if anyone is
even listening apart from Jorja, possibly Crip.
     I have no idea how long I will be in the big seat.  At this point, I have
everything I need with the exception of ratings.  No one said there was going to be
tests when I reached the tail end of my dueling career.  I might have studied a bit
more in school if I had known -- probably not.
     Anywho... I'll reveal details when and if I graduate.  Not sure when that is
going to be either.

Duelmistress Chaldea

P.S.  Oh wait, I did forget to mention the one thing that is of any interest to
Darque.  He is attempting to graduate 1 warrior of each fighting style from this
team--his home team.  He is only missing a Total Parry and a Parry Riposte.  I am
obviously close, but nothing is ever sure in life.  The Parry Riposte is another
story and we'll see how it develops.

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
CHIMLEVTAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see OMBERT QURL win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
OSWELL QUIRN beat AMUR and AMUR lost 8 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Our last 
turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, and CHALDEA has made the 
way for a new Duelmaster!  With CHALDEA clearing the throne, MIDDLE WAY 7 of OMBERT 
QURL takes a proud seat as CHIMLEVTAL's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition 
points.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want 
to know what's new, don't you, CHIMLEVTAL?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  XANDAR was challenged more times this turn than the 
Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for CHIMLEVTAL's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the CHIMLEVTAL arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  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

Major Pain -- I guess it is just the luck of the roll at times because I didn't
change anything.  In fact, I had resigned myself to possibly another loss at your
hands and for turns to come as I await my call to the Isle. -- Chaldea

Jack Sparrow -- Not sure what to make of that challenge.  However, this is a small
arena at the moment, so I completely understand it from that perspective.  We will
see what the future holds. -- Eden

Oswell Quirn -- I've noticed a lot of your style frequent MANY of your manager's
stables.  Just the luck of the draw or is Jorja on some sort of mission? -- Gilead

I resent this Fratsfa Slave.  He's taller than I am, I hate it when people are taller
than I am.  Plus, he's ambidextrous.  *I* want to be ambidextrous, but do I get a
chance?  No, of course not.  And "Fratsfa Slave" isn't even his real identity.  He's
a Karnhorn.  Must be some kind of deep plot here, and I'm seriously annoyed about it.
-- Ombert Qurl

Sho -- Sho' me what?  Or is that "sho' 'nuff"?  Sorry, it's been that kind of day. --
Mandin Orle

Gilead -- I hope you have saved some balm for yourself, you're going to need it
tonight. -- Oswell Quirn

Xandar -- Dammit, why avenge me?  What did *I* do? -- Lumus Nelp

Listen, folks, I know it's confusing, me and Orle having the same first name.  You
can tell us apart by me being the tall, dark, and handsome one. -- Mandin Orwel
