DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings all,
Just a few words from your humble master.
I am off to retirement on the Isle and would like to thank you all for the great
duels we have had over the years--from Mickey Bigmouth on turn 197 to Lucy Jordan on
turn 613.
I am a 9-11-4-17-13-17-13 ST with a Master in decise, AdEx in attack and Experts
in initiative and riposte.
My poor record is mainly due to my doing little damage and not having
participated in any tourneys. Also, it is of course due to the stiff competition
from you fellow Murskans. I end on a high note, though, and my winning streak is six
fights when I write this and I have been Duelmaster five turns.
My favorites turned out to be the morning star and running MO/LO. Obviously,
never tried any of it.
Good luck to you all in the future and bring glory to our proud city in the
upcoming tourney.
Orion
SPY REPORT
Good day, in MURSKA a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, FROSTBITE fought
BRENDAL and gained 11 points and contributed to URBAN JUNGLE's 1-3-0. BRENDAL has
lost to FROSTBITE, falling 7 points, while helping make CHILDREN OF LLYR a 3-2-0
turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between MODRANECT and our Duelmaster ORION,
making a Bloodfeud. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and ORION
remains MURSKA's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Fire Dragon Inn uses trolls in their stew.
Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. ON THE ROCKS has cause to stand tall, as they were MURSKA's
most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And avoiding ON
THE ROCKS more than any other team we find BAD GUYS. MURSKA, are we going to accept,
or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was CHILDREN OF
LLYR's warrior TAMRA KAI. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, ST MAGDALENE from ON THE ROCKS challenged up 19
points to fight MAIRE MCANGUS from the CHILDREN OF LLYR stable. ST MAGDALENE perhaps
got hers just desserts, seeing as she lost to MAIRE MCANGUS and ended up with 39
recognition points. THE JOKER of BAD GUYS had better have a good reason for
challenging down 15 points in a challenge which he won. I thought THE JOKER showed
great skill and promise when he won victory over KAILIE RHINN. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Kudos go out to ORION this turn, for revenging ON THE ROCKS'
bloodfeud against URBAN JUNGLE's warrior MODRANECT. Well done. We'd like to remind
certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's
considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in MURSKA, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in MURSKA again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Modranect -- Red Hook did not choose the best time to throw a wild attack, eh? He
was a pretty average warrior but the replacement was really terrible so now I kind of
miss ol' Hook. I'm sending Orion after you this turn and I think he should be able
to beat you pretty easily. If I'm mistaken, at least he's immortal. -- Bartender
Brendal -- Thanks for the rating. Now, what will it take to get me out of here? --
Fartior
Lucy Jordan -- Well, that was kind of... boring. Thanks for getting me out of here,
though. What is keeping you? -- Orion
Grinch -- Wow, five skills compared to my puny little one. Never would have thought
I was a genius, eh? You're getting a so much better preparation for the Initiates
tourney. I hope I don't run in to you there. -- Sazerac
Hammerhead -- Now, that was just silly of me. No more challenges from me. Promise!
-- St Magdalene
The Lion King -- Only one skill? I would have expected more from a tourney victor.
-- Tamra Kai
Fartior -- Drat the crowd, anyway. Good fight. -- Brendal
Frostbite -- The worse for being unexpected, I suppose. It's spring, dammit. --
Harec O'Kai
Icicle -- Melted you, eh? Good. -- Maire McAngus
Voldemort -- Yep, you're a bad one. You could have taught me more than one skill,
you know. -- Kailie Rhinn
I note that with the recent graduation of Evindal, this team now has all ten styles
on the Isle. They'd better come up with more styles, or some other goal I can plod
toward. -- Jorja, Children of Llyr
Our congratulations to Orion. -- Jorja and the Children of Llyr
