DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It looks like the rat poison, or squirrel poison to be more accurate, worked
well. AKA had no chance. He ran full on into my trusty scimitar and down he went.
On top of that my invite came by special post.
After this turn I am off to the Isle and to join the fun there. I'm not sure if
I'll get to continue on or not, but we shall see. Regardless, I have achieved what I
have set out to do, and I'm pleased with it.
I am the 56th graduate from the Devil Advocates team which is, by far, an Arvat
record.
I am also the 20th Wall of Steel, which is a lot!
Beyond that, I am FAR too lazy to write more this week as I have to make travel
arrangements and all.
I still plan on winning my last fight so I'm challenging some of you I've beaten
before. No easy wins here.
I'm thinking we might have a zombie duelmaster, so heads up everyone....
Devlin DeTalis
Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ARVAT! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Uncool, THE WALKING DEAD. I
mean 1-3-0 is bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training
practice! The guys at ERRATA like really pulled together to get a 3-2-0 this turn,
moving up by 9. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 3 after going
4-1-0. Keep it up, GASTROPUB! MVP award for GORT? DEATH BY DESIGN's proud of him
after beating TO THE CHOPPER and getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
EXTERMINATION got smashed by GRIMSCOR, and lost 11 points! Like SECRET SQUIRRELS'
MAID IN A LAB is sweating since she got challenged by Duelmaster DEVLIN DE TALIS!
Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think DEVLIN DE TALIS should let
MAID IN A LAB be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Who was the
wiseguy that said ARVAT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Dripping Blade?
Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of SECRET SQUIRRELS
must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something
that I don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are DEVIL ADVOCATES? SECRET SQUIRRELS,
an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can
YOUNG STUDS' REGULAR EXERCISE be more popular than me? He was challenged the most,
but is that really the same? Speaking of challenging 27 points above did you hear
about NYDMOR WYNZE of OTTOMAN EMPIRE vs. THE WALKING DEAD's GROUND CHUCK? (And how
was that intro!) Like, was that some fighting on NYDMOR WYNZE's part, or what? And
he got 6 points out of it! (besides getting in my report) Poor GROUND CHUCK. TRIPS
must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged WHIRLY BIRD.
9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought TRIPS showed
great skill and promise when he was killed by WHIRLY BIRD. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ARVAT ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. D'ya think WHIRLY BIRD is feeling guilty for killing STRAGETY,
DAMMIT!'s TRIPS, a mere boy? Naah, I doubt it. ARTHRITIS bloodfeuded (is that a
word?) STRAWMAN for revenge over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth it?
What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte
