DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, Harry, the crowd approved. This is not, necessarily, a sign of their
disdain for you. They may FEEL disdain for you, I wouldn't know, but that isn't a
sign of it. I would venture to guess that if you look, you would find that every
fight in this arena today is introduced with the same sentence. Jorja's been
watching elsewhere, i.e., in other arenas, and has found that all the fights she gets
(five) start with the same sentence in that arena, but a different same sentence from
arena to arena. Substantially meaningless, but of idle amusement none the less for
that.
By the way, Harry, I want to thank you for putting on your usual good show. You
make me look even better than I am, and it keeps the fans happy, both desirable ends.
Balin
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MURSKA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for BUSY, BUSYTOWN, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into
6th. PHILANTHROPISTS 3 stable has parlayed this turn's 3-0-0 into a 3 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
GARTH THE SEAMITE fought TOURNEY SCUM and gained 26 points and contributed to
PHILANTHROPISTS 3's 3-0-0. VEXED VIKING has lost to BILDIS, falling 16 points, while
helping make PHILANTHROPISTS 2 a 1-2-1 turn. And not without some honor, LOONY now
claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of MURSKA. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I
have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Dragon's Hangover uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. CHILDREN OF LLYR has cause to stand
tall, as they were MURSKA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And guess who avoided CHILDREN OF LLYR stable the most? Believe it or not,
it was ERRATA. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was CHILDREN
OF LLYR's warrior AIDAN O'KAI. More fighters challenged him than challenged the
Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Hearty mugs of ale were raised in
MURSKA today as AIDAN O'KAI was bid farewell to a 10-4-1 warrior, with HYPER VIPER of
PHILANTHROPISTS 2 standing silent and pensive. A brave warrior does not carry a red
shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, MURSKA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in MURSKA again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Our turn envelope burst open in the post office (or so I'm told, I wasn't there), and
a lot of turns fell out. Some--not all--of the fights and other pages showed up at
the guildhouse about five days later. If there's something missing from our
personals, blame it on the post office, okay? We're doing our best here. -- Jorja,
Children of Llyr
Jungle King -- Have you considered that a diet of bananas may not be the "breakfast
of champions"? Perhaps if you tried, I dunno, kiwi fruit instead? -- Culann Coontz
P.S. NOBODY likes hospitals. Why do they always report this as though it's a
surprise?
Garth the Seamite -- I've given the matter careful thought, and my idea is that your
problem is your height. At least, in the summer that's your problem. Heat rises,
you see, and the higher the hotter. Your head overheats and something up there (your
nose, maybe?) shuts down and reduces your capacity to perform. Terrible, isn't it?
Maybe you should try crouching down more. -- Aidan O'Kai
Hyper Viper -- Where did you come from? Why haven't I seen you before? Uh, let me
rephrase that. Hello, new faces, this is great! But it would have been pleasant
(for me) if you'd let me win it, just to be sort of "showing you how" here in Murska.
Yeahyeahyeah, I know, you must've fought here before, but it's been a while. What if
we're doing things differently now? You never know. -- Bildis
Laelamesto -- Newly arrived is always good. Stay a while, there's lots of stuff I
could show you here, and it would be my pleasure. -- Brenna
Ordenash -- Savor that win while you can, bub, there will be tougher opponents than
me along any day now. -- Patrimic, Proud Beggar
Shybel Gibben -- It says right here that you're a novice. That means you have a LOT
to learn. You may regret your career choice. Bwahaha! -- Sholto the Red, late of
Mordant
Mr Shortsword -- Get something longer, eh? -- Patrimic, Proud Beggar
Alcarese -- If I hadn't made that stupid bet with the Chardinee, about fighting with
one hand only, you wouldn't have beaten me so "handily." Remember that. -- Oiseth
the Scribe, Uncharterd Accountant
Pacifist -- That was an improper behavior for you! You have violated your
nomenclature! I'll sue! -- Oiseth the Scribe, Uncharterd Accountant
Sir Psycho -- I never like fighting nut-cases. -- Oiseth the Scribe, Uncharterd
Accountant
Ahanti Gravett -- Well, I have to agree. That was devastating. Don't do it again,
or I'll waylay you in an alley where there are no rules. -- Sholto the Red, late of
Mordant
Ni -- Damn, the arenamistress stepped in too soon. I was looking forward to pounding
you some more. -- Flinn the Hammer, as Dangerous as they come and Criminally inclined
Loony -- So you took advantage of your greater height, eh? Are you proud of that,
you cursed human? -- Korbelt the Short, Murskan Dwarf
P.S. No way am I from Khalhums.
