                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Stick to the jungle, King.  No trees to swing from here.

                                       Bildis

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  CHILDREN OF LLYR had cause to celebrate, after 
ANGUS ARGUS got 14 points by beating CAPTURED ORC.  A certain someone should cut down 
on the drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.  
(Discrete enough, DRENDAN O'KAI?) What can be a greater victory?  TOURNEY SCUM has 
taken his place as the top, as MURSKA's new Duelmaster.  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?   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen 
into an unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  MURSKA, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Dragon's Hangover.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir
