DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I thank you for that pleasant surprise, Brackla. Mind, I don't know what to DO
with it, and I don't expect to keep it, but it's pleasant.
Kailie Rhinn
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. It seems the training can make the difference, as
REALLY? is pushed out of top team by HAPPY FUN TIME, who came from 4th with a 4-0-0
this turn. HAPPY FUN TIME stable has parlayed this turn's 4-0-0 into a 3 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! And let's see,
FUN PIRATE fought ANGRY SHORTY and gained 18 points and contributed to HAPPY FUN
TIME's 4-0-0. ANGRY SHORTY has lost to FUN PIRATE, falling 10 points, while helping
make REALLY? a 3-2-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and
KAILIE RHINN 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!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. Well, sports fans, take notice that GALLOWAY
from CHILDREN OF LLYR was MURSKA's most challenged warrior this turn.
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. 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. Well, I'm burning daylight here in MURSKA and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the
