DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Lou C. Firr looked out on the sands and smiled. It finally was going his way.
Despite being called a "prodigious talent" and "future star" at the beginning of
his career, it hadn't all come together the way he had expected. It had been a
struggle just to maintain a winning record and less talented gladiators had roared
past him in the rankings while he kept trying to find his groove. The losses had
mounted and while he first expect to achieve his invite in 20 fights, he ended up
racking up 20 losses and still there was no end in site.</DIV>
Now, however, he had determined that instead of trying to be fast, quick and
aggressive, like most lungers, he was much better off biding his time and working off
the counterstrike. He had built his tactics around this strategy and it was
definitely paying off. He took the title and then held it. And now he was just a
fight or two away from immortality.
It was good to be Duelmaster...
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Advancing in the rankings was ANGELS OF PAIN
who went from last turn's 281-192-16, to this week's record of 285-193-16. Ya know,
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. COMATOSE was subdued by BILL P.
GORE and drops 12 points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say
'Challenge me'! LOU C. FIRR made a challenge against PETER PIQUIN this week. In
front of all the crowds, PETER PIQUIN took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I
give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day
keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that DEVIL ADVOCATES was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of DEVIL ADVOCATES'
warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: DEVIL
ADVOCATES + Weapons That go Boom = ANGELS OF PAIN + Avoid City. And who is this
PETER PIQUIN you ask, with 120 points and a 23-14-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could
tell! In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, RAMPAGE went after FILLIS BOUY,
who was higher by 19 points. Well, when the dust settled, RAMPAGE beat FILLIS BOUY.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Well, the arena is no place for
slow learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and ABBIE DONN demonstrated that very violently
on EAST TO WEST's body. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the ARVAT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and
I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens,
I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Apocalypse and Christian Rock -- Welcome back to Arvat! - Angels and Devils
Fisherman's Wharf -- Glad you enjoyed! -- Devil Advocates
Malignant Tumor -- That was a bit surprising with you jumping out and hitting me...
Fortunately I can take a bit of a hit... -- Lou
Peter -- And you had better watch what you "get ahold of" or I'll plant you in the
ground. -- Abbie Donn
Cutler Bates -- Politicians? Jeez. I'm not a politician. Acutally I'm non-
political. -- Bill P. Gore
Agony -- How well I know it, and this time, so do you. I didn't actually expect to
win that. Odd that I did, it must have been a fluke. -- Peter Piquin
Unbreakable -- Not what one likes to see in a gladiatorial opponent. Oh, well. --
Sarlow
Lil Ethe -- Just a question of which of us collapsed first, eh? I'm not thrilled
about fights like that, but at least it doesn't chip the nail polish. -- Fillis Bouy
Ihao -- NOT one of my better days. Maybe I should change my mind and take to
fishing, after all. -- Cutler Bates
Famine -- Not when there are fish in the water. Loaves would be good, too, but fish
alone is a place to start. -- Big Minnow
Lou -- You didn't expect us to learn USEFUL things, did you? Murphy wouldn't allow
that. -- Sarlow
Abbie Donn -- Well, I *think* it's flirting, but I haven't actually done much in that
line myself. Sure, we can spar, and then if we're still mobile, I'll show you a
favorite fishing spot, and, you know... let stuff happen. -- Heron
Our congratulations to Agony, and we enjoyed the story. Thanks for making that
effort. -- Jorja and Fisherman's Wharf
