WASNIS of OLLIS HEROES (Omega, mgr.) 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 Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OMBERT QURL 6312 11 3 0 82 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -PRIVATE LAPDANCE 5656 10 2 1 103 MILITARY MAYHEM (89) -MAJOR PAIN 5463 11 11 0 98 MILITARY MAYHEM (89) -COLONEL O'CORN 6171 9 1 0 97 MILITARY MAYHEM (89) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CHALDEA 5836 16 6 0 80 DARQUE FORCES (422) -TAZ 5200 9 4 0 69 LOONY TOONS (206) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME EDEN 6330 5 0 0 62 DARQUE FORCES (422) OSWELL QUIRN 6150 10 14 1 59 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MANDIN ORLE 6227 7 8 1 46 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) -TEAM CAPTAIN 6190 4 2 0 46 MILITARY MAYHEM (89) -JACK SPARROW 6314 7 3 1 38 PIRATES (625) -CLUB-FOOT CODY 6325 5 3 0 38 PIRATES (625) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AMUR 6323 7 3 0 33 AVENGERS (146) WAKIZASHI 6322 8 2 0 31 AVENGERS (146) -SYLVESTER 4154 7 6 0 30 LOONY TOONS (206) XANDAR 6320 5 5 0 28 AVENGERS (146) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NOISEY KRICKET 5343 4 4 0 26 LOONY TOONS (206) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MANDIN ORWELL 6336 2 0 0 23 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) GILEAD 6145 3 4 0 20 DARQUE FORCES (422) SHO 6319 3 7 0 16 AVENGERS (146) -CABIN BOY 6327 3 1 0 11 PIRATES (625) LUMUS NELP 6328 1 7 0 10 MIDDLE WAY 7 (536) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HAVILAH was butchered by HIGH ELF in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. GIHON was butchered by SHEWISH GIANT in a 1 minute Dark Arena duel. CHALDEA was savagely defeated by KUNG-FU MASTER in a exciting 6 minute gory melee. OMBERT QURL vanquished M. CHARDINEE in a 1 minute mismatched Title brawl. EDEN defeated MANDIN ORLE in a 1 minute novice vs. master upset fight. AMUR was devastated by OSWELL QUIRN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided duel. WAKIZASHI beat GILEAD in a 3 minute brawl. LUMUS NELP was handily defeated by XANDAR in a 1 minute uneven fight. SHO lost to MANDIN ORWELL in a 1 minute duel.
