I must admit, I do look good up here. This last turn did the trick, I'm off to immortality! I'm a little afraid of the dark, so I won't be doing the traditional challenge to the Dark Arena this turn. I'm giving someone the opportunity to actually earn this prestigious chair by beating me on my way to the isle. Of course, when I win, someone will back into the throne, but it won't be my stable mate Spryte! Congrats to him on joining me with his own promotion! What can I say? We're just that darn good! We'll be leaving Obsidian Hall with a real young team but I see some promise in a few of you. Perhaps in a few turns you'll be up here espousing your own Duelmistress (okay, Duelmaster too) column! Digitalis Immortus SPY REPORT Greetings, Warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Practice pays for SSSINK!, who pummelled PIEHOLDEN SWEET, to pocket 18 points. TORG THUNDERCLAP found out that NIATOLI ISLAND isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of KNIGHTS OF LEGEND should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of OBSIDIAN HALL, so did that sorry team shy from KNIGHTS OF LEGEND Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, PRINCE VALIANT is the most challenged warrior. Mismatched by 13 points, PRINCE VALIANT overcame EQUINOPHOBIC COWBOY. Is this really worth noting? I thought EQUINOPHOBIC COWBOY showed great skill and promise when he was bested by PRINCE VALIANT. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see KNIGHTS OF LEGEND retaliate against HALLOWIENERS in bloodfeud! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid NIATOLI ISLAND farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GRU-SON OF GROTT 7539 16 7 1 103 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SHEET WITH EYES 7740 13 3 0 111 HALLOWIENERS (635) LORTAN FALCONEYE 7465 17 15 1 99 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) TORG THUNDERCLAP 7554 13 9 2 91 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KURELLEU ZIEN 7800 18 36 0 90 THE SEWING CIRCLE (388) SSSINK! 7925 3 0 0 75 F/X (648) BS 3630 6 3 0 70 DEMONSPAWN (194) PIEHOLDEN SWEET 7856 15 12 0 69 SUMMERTEETH (640) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PRINCE VALIANT 3587 8 8 0 53 KNIGHTS OF LEGEND (224) BYL BONESNAPPER 7557 11 10 1 51 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) FUTURE AGE 7917 5 2 1 44 SUMMERTEETH (640) EQUINOPHOBIC COWBOY 8046 4 3 2 42 HALLOWIENERS (635) INIGO MONTOYA 8054 3 3 1 40 BIG LAKE BANDITS (71) DEMON 8037 4 3 1 39 DEMONSPAWN (194) DEN'S FAVORITE 3581 7 5 0 36 DEMONSPAWN (194) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BROCK 8055 4 1 0 31 DEMONSPAWN (194) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PETRONILLA 8057 4 2 0 22 KNIGHTS OF LEGEND (224) -COLOGNE 7876 1 1 0 22 WORLD BLADES 5 (645) MYTEE 8041 2 6 0 21 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) BENJYN BLAYDE 8062 2 2 0 20 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) SIR EDWARD 8047 4 3 0 18 KNIGHTS OF LEGEND (224) VIXEN 8063 3 1 0 18 DEMONSPAWN (194) PERCIVAL 8056 2 4 0 10 KNIGHTS OF LEGEND (224) BLEAK 8078 1 1 0 10 OBSIDIAN HALL (192) BAD DREAM GENIE 8058 0 3 0 7 HALLOWIENERS (635) -FRIDGE BOX ROBOT 7948 0 2 0 6 HALLOWIENERS (635) -JUNK FROG 7871 0 1 0 1 BATTLE FROGS SO1 (644) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
