Greetings out there, my adoring fans. Your Queen here. Yes, once again I'm on the throne. No surprise there. This time however I have some bad news--I have been given my notice and they are sending me to Advanced. I understand little girls like the Maniac of Ravaging Lords will be happy but for the rest of you I understand your heartache. Not to worry I'm sure I'll have enough time on my hands to come back for a celebrity visit every once in a while. Maybe I'll come back and put on an exhibition with your top warrior as long as the "commission" pays me enough. Anyway I'm off to bloodfeud little Maniac, and if he hides out again I'll take it out on one of his teammates. Shannarian D'anjellica Queen of Niatoli Greatest Show on Sand The Great One Perfection Personified And your eternal Duelmaster SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! STORM BRINGERS had cause to celebrate, after TEMPEST got 16 points by beating HARE CREEK HAMMER. HARE CREEK HAMMER certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to TEMPEST and losing 1 points in the process! KHALHUMS DWARF found out that NIATOLI ISLAND isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in NIATOLI ISLAND is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in NIATOLI ISLAND avoid RAVAGING LORDS. The warriors of RAVAGING LORDS found their efforts at combat frustrated as STORM BRINGERS apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, HARE CREEK HAMMER could open up a fast food joint! As a confidence booster, THE TUSKER challenged BEAR CREEK HAMMER, down 16 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, THE TUSKER? THE TUSKER beat BEAR CREEK HAMMER. The whole thing leaves a bitter memory. 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! Do not think spyreporting in NIATOLI ISLAND is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. NIATOLI ISLAND, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Don't Drop Inn.

Sick? Fever? Surely it's not because you were dodging my blood. I'd hate to think you a coward. -- Rake, mgr. Stormbringers Piker -- *sigh* I thought by allowing you to hold my seat for a couple of days that you would put up a better fight when I came to take it back. I suppose it was my fault. How silly of me to think you would last 'til the second minute. -- The Great One Hammer -- Getting a little tired running into your fighters, my old friend. It's not been good for my record. -- Rake Ikillu -- Shovel? Yes, very good. The Rake was a nickname bestowed in my younger days because of a life style I used to live. Life style is long gone but the name never left. Of course it's not nearly as catchy or original as Ikullu. That I know took some deep thinking. Perhaps the hiring of a good bard and some well spent gold. On to other things. What happened to your boy Maniac? He is your boy, isn't he? Unbecoming it is to surround yourself with cowards. -- Rake P.S.
