DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Wow, did you guys read last turn's Dualmasters Column? Seems Kobalt is as long
winded as Girlpants. I'll make this a little shorter. First I'll respond to the
comments made about my teammate Lord Protector Pitt. (Lord Protector Pitt 6.
Ravaged Queens 1.) Seems to me you guys had good reason to hate him--his record
against you was devastating. Oh and his ONLY loss to you guys was due to a weapon
break. Second I thought I'd throw out this number. 7-4. What does that mean you
ask? That's the Stormbringers record vs the Ravaged Queens last 3 turns.
Tempest
SPY REPORT
Welcome NIATOLI ISLAND. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the
fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Laughs were big
at STORM BRINGERS while they watched HEAD HUNTER clobber RANGER. He lost 14 points
and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as he might, MONOLYTH
wasn't good enough at persuading TEMPEST to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...
I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?
Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, STORM
BRINGERS! The bums at RAVAGING LORDS couldn't face the challenges from STORM
BRINGERS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, CAROLINA LILY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that TALON
STORM gets in. He fights people like CAROLINA LILY, 14 points below. I thought
TALON STORM showed great skill and promise when he slew CAROLINA LILY. All right, so
I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? CAROLINA LILY of THE SEWING CIRCLE didn't know when to quit.
When you've got a 9-7-2, that's a good sign. Now she's dead. Yeah, yeah, TOBY
killed NINE PATCH, who was "too young to die." Well, she was a fighter, and that's
what you have to face. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
NIATOLI ISLAND is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I
don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Leaf Piler -- I can't afford in more loses so I'll be taking my team off maintenance
now. You'll be lucky to get a single win now. And thanks for the 5-0 this turn.
And the throne. -- Ikillu
Winter Thaw -- Stick around and have some fun. And you can throw snowballs at the
Storm Bringers. -- Ravaging Lords
Talon Storm -- Couldn't you decide on ONE hostile characteristic? You know, Talon OR
Storm? Both is overdoing it. -- Carolina Lily
Toby -- The more I look at you, the more I see that your face really belongs on a
jug. Or a mug, I'm not sure which. And I keep wanting to rip it off and PUT it
there, but... damn, I keep losing. I hate that. -- Dirty Howel
Hidden Fury -- Ah, "winter thaw" is the same as "global warming"? I suppose I should
worry about that, but it's just too much trouble. -- Drunkard's Path
The crowd was ready to send the Persistent Beggar to the Dark Arena, and it sounded
like a fine plan to me. -- Lone Star
The Embezzling Scribe's a bit of a wimp, isn't he? I suppose it's the "white collar
crime" thing. Not that his collar is white, so unfashionable, you know; it's a fine
sky-blue. -- Nine Patch
Our congratulations to Tempest. -- Jorja and the Sewing Circle
Iten. Girlpants -- Stop pulling your hair out. Things will get better. One day. --
Unkle Rake
Carolina Lily -- Good fight. -- Talon
Jorja -- That's a close race you and I are running for top team. Of course Gen.
Girlpants isn't doing so hot. That's to be expected though. -- Rake
Lord Protector Tempest -- Your teammate Pitt didn't take us up on that patch of the
reef, so it's still open if you want "lands." -- Barango, Commission Agent
