DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The good news is that we didn't die in the tourney. The bad news is that we
didn't do particularly well. I did the best, naturally, at 6-3 in Adepts. Shellback
continued his streak of slightly better than average results with a 5-3 in Champions.
White Squall and Salmon Poacher managed 3-3 in Apprentices and Dead Adepts
respectively.
Lucky for us, our manager has seen fit to use a zombie potion in this arena.
Salmon Poacher, who we hope will be renamed something more zombietastic (Buried
Treasure), should be joining us at some point. We are making room for her right now
with a Dark Arena challenge by Seal Clubber. When will she arrive? The
zombification process is notoriously imprecise, so we will just have to wait and see.
Plus, once she has gone full zombie, she will have to shamble here from wherever we
dumped her body. Shambling is not a quick mode of transportation and nobody is going
to give her a ride, that's for sure. Hopefully she doesn't take too long.

SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. NIATOLI ISLAND needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, THE
SEWING CIRCLE, but SEA DOGS was just too good to be stopped. MVP award for GRU-SON
OF GROTT? BIG LAKE BANDITS' proud of him after beating R.E.M. and getting 12 points.
Talk about yer major upsets! BRAIN BUSTER's match with WHITE SQUALL cost him a loss
of 11 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! HULL SCRUBBER stopped
TAVELSHAN KETHAL dead in his tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said NIATOLI ISLAND's
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Don't Drop Inn? Don't look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out GUNTHER
challenged FROGGY FOO FOO. After all, haven't XXX BANDITS and BATTLE FROGS SO1 had a
long standing duel in NIATOLI ISLAND? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything,
but FROGGY FOO FOO wants me to write about it since he bested GUNTHER. Satisfied?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Seal Clubber -- Sorry, bub. We have to make room for a zombie. -- Sea Dogs
Hull Scrubber -- Well, I can see that you SURVIVED the tourney. I hope you've heard
by now how you did in more detail. -- Karinirina
Shellback -- That's the first time, well, to think of it, that I've seen a dog with a
shell. Not a bad idea, considering the lives some dogs lead. -- Tavelshan Kethal
Huh, I don't know what that Assassin was Convicted, but he seems reasonably
competent. Only reasonably, of course, as I am still alive. -- Hassimor Shomur
The Veteran Mercenary was short and sneaky. Ah, still is short and sneaky, I
suppose. I don't like him. -- Kurelleu Zien
Da2 -- Amazing what some managers will name a perfectly competent gladiator. --
