DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Almost missed fighting last turn. Had it not been for some magical portal
device called "The Facsimile," I might have missed defending my title. Ghab will
have to explain to me how this device works some time. It is so "other worldly."
The tournament did not go well for me. After defeating a Total Parry in one
minute on the first fight, I got back-to-back matchups to strikers (me without a
Decisiveness tactic). I then got ripped by a solid Parry-Riposte. So it goes....
I graduate with an Advanced Master in Initiative, Master in Attack, and Advanced
Experts in Decisiveness and Riposte. I'm aggressive in nature and favor Initiative
routines (+4 bonus). Although I was sure that Scimitar was my favorite weapon, it
turns out I'm adept with Shortsword (bummer).
For hoots and hollers, I'm off to the Dark Arena with shortswords in both hands.
Then I pack my bags for Talahya.
It's been a pleasure to be your Duelmaster for the last couple of turns. I'm
pleased that since coming back to the sands, my record was 7-0-1. At least I pulled
my weight!
Fight well or die trying!

SPY REPORT
Welcome to turn 369. Chimlevtal saw 14 teams bring 54 warriors to the sands in
28 fights. In addition, 5 of those teams sent a total of 10 unpromising recruits to
the Dark Arena.
Reflecting on what I saw today, the highlight for me had to be the only
significant downchallenge of the turn. CHO'GALL went down 8 points in his challenge
to ISHIBO. Likely looking for an easy win, skills, and even in a loss, CHO'GALL
would at least be lower ranked. However, sometimes plans do not work. ISHIBO is
tired of being considered a mark and a teacher. But today, in this downchallenge,
ISHIBO killed his challenger. ISHIBO has now won twice in a row.
With the loss, THE STORM REAVERS clearly had the worst turn, at 1-4-0-4.
Granted three of those were Dark Arena fights, but it can't be encouraging for a
manager to look at his stable and only see a single warrior that he can fight. I
wiss him the best in the replacements that he finds. Three other teams also went 1-
4.
On the other side of the coin, two teams won 4 fights and both only fought 4!
BASH BROS OCEAN would have to be given the nod for the best turn, though, as they won
2 awards. JUST DESSERTS will just have to be satisfied with the wins, since they
received no awards. USEFUL WEAPONS also had a fine (almost fantastic) turn. They
only went 2-2 in their fights, but they made those fights count, turning them into 4
awards (just missing that magical 5-spot).
BASH BROS OCEAN, THE STORM REAVERS, and THE CANUCKS each received 6 avoids for
the turn in a tie for the most avoided team. I suppose I'll call WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U
the team that avoided the leaders the most (they put 5 of the 18 avoids in). There
was plenty of other avoiding going on, though. 13 total teams were avoided with 25
warriors issuing avoids. And it wasn't too far off from a 4-5 way tie, since
AVENGERS received 5 avoids and WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U received 4 avoids.
What other fights caught my attention? The three unsuccessful bloodfeuds were
amusing (only because they all failed, not because of the nature of those fights).
I'll be honest and admit that MALICE's fight against the mighty STONE GOLEM was about
as exciting as any other fight. I really thought he was going to pull it out, but it
didn't happen. So the throne was left vacant, his 7 win streak broken, and MALICE
was packed with his back for shipment to Talahya. So much for carrying his own
weight. His weight will be carried until he is resurrected.
PITCHFORK took the throne by challenging AMUR. Likely Smithy was thinking AMUR
would prepare for another scum fight. Surprise! Same team, but this time you're
facing a slasher! Oh, and AMUR, you were also the most challenged warrior this turn.
PUMPKIN ROLL extended his undefeated streak to 4 by beating another 2-0
undefeated warrior. He still has ample opportunty to reach 5-0 since he's not
reached Adepts yet.
I remember there being a really long fight, too, but it escapes me who was in
it. And I don't think anyone but the two in the arena cared who won that one. Maybe
their managers also cared.
A beautiful day to watch fights, for sure. And the fights were good. I wish I
had time to talk about every fight, but I do not. So my report ends here and I look
forward to seeing them again in a month! -- Belinda

Good-bye and good riddance, Malice, you killer. -- Smithy, Useful Weapons
Urako Witstealer -- You picked on the wrong guy. I ain't got no wit to steal. Har
har. But thanks for the challenge and the easy win. -- Rope, Usefu lWeapons
Assur -- Of course! By far the most important two fights in the last two rounds have
been the two Trash Can--Amur fights. Two important beauts! Useful Weapons 2-0.
Avengers 0-2. Two intense, tactical battles of 21 and 27 minutes. (Sigh) I only
wish it had been you. -- Smithy, Useful Weapons
Amur -- Thanks, Buddy. Your challenge and you couldn't do it? Perhaps I am just
plain good. Certainly gooder. -- Trash Can, Useful Weapons
Cho'gall -- You can storm and you can reave, but you just cannot hit a curve ball.
Phbtt! -- Baseball Bat, Useful Weapons
Did y'all miss us? We will fight when we are dang well ready. -- Pitchfork and Wet

Seaweed -- You survived two of my attempts to kill you and received some good learns
to boot. I'd say that was a good outcome given the style matchups. With the amount
of Total Parry talent at the top of the arena you are well positioned now that I am
on my way to the Isle. -- Malice
Huayra -- Ghab told me that after reviewing our fight I am to follow Malice to this
turn's fights. Something about "bring a torch"? Anyway... -- Disobedience
Apparently, Disobedience will not listen to me when I say "go out and win." Who
could have seen that coming... -- Ghab, Assassin Nation
Ghost of Pages of Flesh -- A low constitution Wall of Steel does not last too long in
the arena. -- Contempt
Ishibo -- Good job and thanks for the learns. -- Mr. Freeze
Malice -- Definitely wanted nothing to do with you! -- Seaweed

messes when they try to clean up with magic. -- Litter
Zugg -- Ugh. -- Shark

BLOODGAMES at the SUMMER FACE-TO-FACE
Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Summer FTF! For those of
you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing alive upon the
arena sands, your day has come. At the end of the ten turns, even though several
warriors, bruised and scarred, MAY yet live, only one will be crowned Champion of the
Bloodgames. And in this game mere survival counts for little. A great general once
said, "The object of battle is not to die for your cause, but to make your enemy die
for his." This general would have greatly enjoyed the Duelmasters Bloodgames. There
will be two different arenas:
FTF-Style (DM 98): for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
Mail-in-Style (DM 99): for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds
Gameplay proceeds according to standard DM rules, except for a few notable exceptions:
BLOODGAMES ROLLUP -- Your Bloodgames team is ten warriors, one of each fighting
style, each warrior designed from scratch! (All are 84 points, 3-21, as usual.)
DEATH -- As the name implies, the Bloodgames will leave the arena sands somewhat
darker before they're over. It's a dangerous sport intended only for the tough and
spirited. The Arenamaster will be less likely to intercede on behalf of a dying
warrior. Even at a 1 kill desire, kill attempts will occur.
REPLACEMENTS AND ROLLUPS -- There will be no replacement characters.
CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES -- In the FTF-style bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. For the Mail-in arena, warriors may not change their
strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the
FTF). There will be no DA challenges in either arena.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your
rollups and strategies by the Wednesday before the FTF, else they are due by 9pm on
Friday, at the hotel. The Bloodgames will process at the FTF with the regular
tournament.
MISSED TURNS -- All warriors fight each round. Only the dead may rest.
ERRORS -- If we make an input error, that warrior will be awarded a win and kill.
Errors must be reported before the next turn processes.
NEWSLETTER -- Warriors are ranked according to their number of kills. Champions of
Bloodgames may write a column for the newsletter at the end of the games.
FEES -- A Bloodgames rollup costs a $10 set-up fee. Managers may roll up more than
one team but may run only one team in each arena. The fee for all ten rounds is $49.
AWARDS -- The Bloodgames last ten rounds. Only warriors who survive to the end of
Turn 10 will be eligible for an award. However, a consolation award of a Bloodgames
T-shirt will be awarded to the dead warrior with the most kills.
The living warrior with the greatest number of kills will be the Bloodgames Champion.
Bloodgames Victor titles, 2nd and 3rd place, and Bloodgames Runner-up titles, 4th
through 6th place, will be awarded to those living warriors with the greatest number
of kills at the end of Turn 10, with one other important consideration: Each of these
six warriors must be of a different fighting style. Win/loss records and, if
necessary, recognition points will only be used to determine awards if there is a tie.
A Bloodgames T-shirts will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.
The Bloodgames Champion fights for free in Advanced Duelmasters, and all Champions and
Victors earn Tournament Victor status, which allows them to challenge once per turn
with increased priority. These awards last for six months. The manager of the
Bloodgames Champion, Victors, and Runners-up will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.
AFTERMATH -- Warriors from the Bloodgames may not transfer to any other arena. Once
the games are over, the arena and teams will be disbanded. The fighters have won
their freedom and will never more be seen in the gladiatorial games. A special bonus
will, however, be awarded to the 1st through 3rd place warriors. Lady Sheila
Greywand, of the Isle of the Eye, has consented to allow the top three gladiators in
each Bloodgames admission to the Advanced Duelmasters games. Any special training
required to qualify those three warriors for Advanced Duelmasters combat will be
conducted before transfer into ADM. Astute managers will note that this means that
three warriors that are designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of
the top three places, and go on to immortal glory! One of those warriors could be
yours!
The challenge is yours to take. The final plans are yours to make.
When the dust settles, remember: To the victor goes the spoils!
