DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, Niatoli! It has been a while since a Knight of Legend has sat upon
the throne here, but how fitting it is I, Prince Valiant, who should be the chosen
one. (I couldn't resist!)
While I know my enemies will be trying to remove me posthaste, I shall endeavor
to remain here as long as I can. We shall see.
To Byl Bonesnapper: Thanks for the fight--it was enlightening! I am sure that
was not the last I have seen of you.
And to my fans, I will be in the pub celebrating. Please, stop by, and bask in
my "princeliness." I shall be there until I can stand no more!
-- Prince Valiant
SPY REPORT
Welcome NIATOLI ISLAND. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the
fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! BIG LAKE
BANDITS were a bunch of dogs after CLASSIC CHARACTERS got through with 'em! 3rd
ain't so sweet as 1st! Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything
relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well KNIGHTS OF LEGEND moved up 0, to 4th.
What's with EQUINOPHOBIC COWBOY? He actually beat DEMONSPAWN's BROCK, and walked
away with 14 more points from the fight. I'm sure NIATOLI ISLAND is excited about
LADY KALDRA, the new Duelmaster from LUROCIANS II. (remember?) But when you've seen
as many as I have... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, BIG LAKE BANDITS!
Management must be dealin', as the boys at DEMONSPAWN ain't reelin'! BIG LAKE
BANDITS' mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
PIEHOLDEN SWEET! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Keep
challenging up 26 points, BYL BONESNAPPER, and I won't have to write about you much
longer. PIEHOLDEN SWEET always accepts those kind of challenges... Who knows what
was running through BYL BONESNAPPER's head, but PIEHOLDEN SWEET rearranged it for
him. How soon will BYL BONESNAPPER make a challenge like that again? Maybe OBSIDIAN
HALL's BRUNHYLDA is one of those gals who likes pain, or something. That's what
she'll get next week, after challenging up 28 to INIGO MONTOYA. As I expected, INIGO
MONTOYA won BRUNHYLDA. Not to start anything, but, BRUNHYLDA, now that you've faced
it and seen hers style, you might try it again! I hate going to the effort of
writing about the kind of fights that PIMP POLITICIAN gets in. He fights people like
BLACK KNIGHT, 12 points below. I thought PIMP POLITICIAN showed great skill and
promise when he was overcame by BLACK KNIGHT. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good
skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
