DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Thanks for a good fight Hammerhead. It's become painfully obvious, though, that
I can't learn anything more here and I think it ought to be time for me to leave for
the Isle. But the rules are a bit unclear about early graduation so, worst case, I
might get stuck here for another three turns.
I will try and make the most of the time and will be working on my biggest
weakness, namely my strength. So, if you want to pay me a visit you'll most likely
find me in the gym, pumping iron.
Speaking of long, cold, hard rods, my challenge this turn will go to the
immortal Icicle. Let's see what your favorites can do for you, mr Lord Protector.
Good luck on the sands to you all!
Scapa
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt MURSKA will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as SEA DOGS is pushed out of top team by CHILDREN OF LLYR, who came from 2nd with a
4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, SECOND WATCH fought ST MAGDALENE and gained 17
points and contributed to SEA DOGS' 2-2-0. FROZEN IMAGE has lost to DINNIAN, falling
15 points, while helping make URBAN JUNGLE a 2-3-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout
was between ICICLE and our Duelmaster SCAPA, making a challenge. The attempts to
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SCAPA remains MURSKA's top warrior for
another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their
losing fighters do dishes at The Fire Dragon Inn until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the SEA DOGS stable was the most avoided
team this turn. Come on MURSKA, what are you afraid of? And avoiding SEA DOGS more
than any other team we find ON THE ROCKS. MURSKA, are we going to accept, or respect
this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was CHILDREN OF LLYR's
warrior KAILIE RHINN. More fighters challenged her 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. Is it really true that MURSKA has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
