DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I have little to say. I am not the fine writer that Benjyn was, and perhaps am
not even the warrior he is. But I can soft-shoe and manipulate with the very best of
them. I guess, then, I really belong in Den's stable, but thank goodness I am not.
Who could succeed being managed by that sociopath?
I am hoping to stay alive one more round, so I can fight at The Chicago Face.
Wll I see you all there?
Hustler (who has a bridge he wants to sell)
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Know me for who I am, Zontani
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory
waits always around the corner! Witness how this week THE APOSTLES went 2-3-1 to
move up 5 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which BIG LAKE
BANDITS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw
challengers! OTTO'S ARMY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested POLYPHEMUS and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, OTTO'S ARMY put down POLYPHEMUS, causing him to lose 12
points of recognition in the process. Although BLEAK made a valiant effort, it did
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious HUSTLER. Would you believe that over
half of the old women in NIATOLI ISLAND seem to feel that they could fight better
than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In NIATOLI ISLAND "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to
beat in NIATOLI ISLAND these days is BIG LAKE BANDITS. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of OBSIDIAN HALL last week. Busy avoiding BIG LAKE BANDITS?
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after BLACKMOMBA. Watch your back! For some warriors honor is not
important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how JUDAS of THE APOSTLES challenged
down 22 points to WAR PIG. All the city knows the duel went in favor of JUDAS. I
shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory. I can
not but mention with disdain the name of OG who this week posted a challenge to a
warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings. I thought OG showed great skill and
promise when he was overcame by LAURI THE TRAMP. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Look no more for PAUL in the arena or on
the streets of NIATOLI ISLAND. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable
for one at 3-8-0. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in NIATOLI ISLAND as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Damien D. -- I see you, too, have missed Den. It must be the Chief's thing in us. --
Classic Character Coach
Benjyn Blade -- That was not an easy fight. I was merely the luckiest. -- Hustler
Immoral Desire -- Silly you. I am not THAT angry, but I surely am well-off now with
those nice monthly checks. You were wrong. I DO stay in the kitchen a lot. I like
doing it on the kitchen table. -- Angry Ex-Wife
The Chicago Face is nigh and I hope to see many of you there. -- Classic Character
Coach
XXX -- I don't believe I ever "loosed" anything in your direction, kid. Say, if you
are going to plagiarize someone, try finding finding a wittier statement to steal and
then see if you can apply it in a more meaningful manner! -- DD
Den -- You sent two of those rotten, worm-ridden corpses you call gladiators after my
stable. They both lost, horribly, I might add. Two more of my intrepid squad drew
commission stand-ins and my stable went 1-1 against them. That says something.... --
DD
Hustler -- You certainly deserve the throne after that fight. You're much more
talented than I expected. -- Benjyn
Byl -- Don't worry, seven more losses (or should I say looses?) and you get to
graduate to immortality anyway. -- Bleak
Deeders the all mighty ALLIED AXIS president is back with such trash talk from a
small pathetic JUDAS! He fell before my blade in less than 30 seconds do you not
have any worthy men to fight my breathtaking gladiators. I hope by the time you read
this Judas will have felt what it feels like to have his body cut in half and his
skull and spine ripped out from his body for a trophy to hang above my bed! Sleep
with both eyes open because your a disease Deeders and I simply am the cure! -- XXX
