DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
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.

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. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
The Maniac -- Why did you duck my bloodfeud, you nasty looking little man? --
Shanarian
Maniac -- I'm curious as to why you didn't fight this turn with the rest of your
stable. 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. Thanks for the welcome back.
