DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Looks like Wand knew I would be coming for him and he decided to sit out. Is he primed
for an FE cap for a tournament? Will he run ths turn? We shall see.
Ran up against Litter Blaster in a same-style random matchup. Probably came down to
weapon selection as I took the initiative and scored two quick critical attacks to end
the fight.
Not being one t turn down a challenge, I will avoid the easy road of bloodfeuding
Haomaru. My challenges go to the top runner-up. The tough-as-nails Sgt. Rock!
Historically, I've fared pretty well against TPcs so we'll see.
Salut!
Still your possibly brief Duelmaster,
-- Vileness
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! ASSASSIN NATION had cause to celebrate, after HATRED got 18 points by
beating MAJOR SNAFU. MAJOR SNAFU certainly had a baffled expression on his face,
after losing to HATRED and losing 10 points in the process! Well, Duelmaster
VILENESS challenged MILITARY MAYHEM's SGT. ROCK. Is a 11-6-1 good enough? SGT. ROCK
found out that CHIMLEVTAL isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be
Duelmaster here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys
in ASSASSIN NATION are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, MILITARY MAYHEM scurried away from
ASSASSIN NATION. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational
abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SEAGULL is the most challenged
warrior. Word has it LITTER BLASTER suffered a romantic setback. Note how he
challenged WAND, 28 points his senior. The gods smiled upon LITTER BLASTER, in his
upset fight against WAND. LITTER BLASTER gets a win, 21 points, and a free drink on
me. (Next week, OK?) As a confidence booster, CONFUSED challenged BAKERS 7, down 20
points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, CONFUSED? Yes,
Virginia, sometimes the little guy wins, as BAKERS 7 proved, beating 20 point higher
CONFUSED.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure
of writing Spyreports for CHIMLEVTAL? On that giddy note I take my leave--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
My weapons need renovation. Gotta get the anvil and hammer out and the fire lit. --
Smithy
P.S. The Crowbar was nothing but rust!
Lead pipes are useless weapons anymore so I had the builder use the lead on Assur's
new house. -- Smithy (Thinking: Now, Belinda; you are all mine.)
Haomaru -- A little more payback for Wickedness! -- Resentment
Lead Pipe -- Kind of a round-about way of getting a little payback for Haymaker. That
was fun! -- Hatred
Litter Blaster -- Just a little bit of an edge and I kept the throne. The good news is
that you're still on this side of the turf. -- Vileness
Baker 7 -- I thought you had me. You knocked me down a couple of times but I was able
to bounce right back onto my feet. Just had to wait for you to pause to catch a
breath. Good fight! -- Charybdis

Where: Lapur DM 29

Announcing Lapur's 1000th turn. Over the past 38+ years many legendary fighters and
managers have attended the Lapurian Arena. If you are one of those managers and have a
inactive team, send them into fight for turn 1000. If you have a tourney team in Lapur
and need some new recruits for the next tourney, send them in to fight in the Dark
Arena on turn 1000. Load up the Dark Arena with a page full of fights in the
newsletter and make it memorable. For this one turn join in and celebrate the arena's
1000th. C'mon dust off your old Lapurian warriors and send them to fight during the
