DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
M. Chardinee? That's all the competition there is for the title here today?
And he's a Karnhorn, too, which is no surprise, because he WOULD be a Karnhorn, damn
him. A spy within our gates. An agitator. A troublemaker of the worst stripe
(purple on orange, hideous!) and probably a Khalanian Horse! I'm glad I beat him,
and sorry I didn't kill him. There will be trouble come from this mercy, mark my
words!
Gwalchmai
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for BLUE EYES, who
flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing OISAN like a melon. Keep your eye on
this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BRANGWYN was
overcame by MEGALODON and drops 12 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with
aught but bloody knuckles was MURSKA's M. CHARDINEE, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by GWALCHMAI. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver
this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad THE BEARS? Big bad THE BEARS.
Big bad THE BEARS. MURSKA's afraid of the big bad THE BEARS. Tra la la la la!
Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch DEVILS OF THE DEEP's act in the arena. Those
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from THE BEARS.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Knowing when to use the right
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian,
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time I'm on this
circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
So who's been feeding the Ambitious Guard meat? He isn't supposed to do stuff like
that. Daring leaps and lightning lunges. You know, like that. After all, the
disgusting fellow is a Basher! Who does he think he IS to go lunging? I protest! --
Oisan
P.S. Okay, I bash, too, but that's different. *I* wasn't trying any daring lunges
and flesh-splitting blows!
P.P.S. Besides, he's an elf. Everyone knows elves are sneaky. He's got some dark
plot, you can mark my words, too! Of course, there may not be any gladiators left in
the town to care....
Blue Eyes -- What a pleasure to meet you on the sands, sword-sister! It isn't often
I come across someone I can defeat. And I'm sure that by the next time we meet, I
won't be able to defeat you, either, so I'm going to savor this victory while it's
fresh. Thanks. -- Brangwyn
Padre -- (deeply mortified look) I knew, I had a sort of psychic flash, as you might
say, that I shouldn't have chased that stick you threw across the arena just as the
arenamaster said "Go." But I couldn't seem to help myself. -- Cu-Cadal
P.S. Thus does the power of naming make fools of us all in our seasons, and other
philosophic comments.
I would have killed the Convicted Thief, and gladly, but the coward surrendered. I
don't see why I can't go ahead and kill a Convicted Thief after he surrenders. It
isn't like he's a valued member of the community. -- Morpeth
17 July 2004
I am currently trying to put together a favorites chart for AD warriors. I
desperately need help with this. What I need are style, favorite rhythm (ex.:
hi/low), favorite weapons, and tactics. What would be great is if you could send me
a copy of the invite with the warrior's name, id#, and arena blacked out. This way,
I can verify that this is an actual warrior. Minis will work, too!
For those interested, I have both a challenge style vs. style and a match-up style
vs. style chart. There's about 250 fights calculated in these charts, and I'll be
happy to send a copy to anyone who asks. You can contact me (if you're a free world
player) at: Rick Stringer, Merit/East, SCI, P.O. Box 500, Georgetown, DE 19947-0500.
If you're in prison, just send a diplo to: Baphomet, Mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM
#47--North Fork. (I also have a lot of other charts and info for anyone who wants
it.) Thanks!
