DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ah, Frogpaler, you're looking, if you will forgive the play on words, a little
pale. A sort of delicate chartreuse, in fact. Startling in contrast with the blood.
I will admit that I didn't expect to two-shot you.
Jock MacBeagh
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 FOOT OF PRIDE is pushed out of top team by SOUND, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0
this turn. The BATTLE FROGS guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in
the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, TIMBRE
fought SAVAGE BEATING and gained 22 points and contributed to SOUND's 4-1-0. NO TURN
has lost to BURGLAR FROG, falling 15 points, while helping make FOOT OF PRIDE a 1-4-0
turn. We should ask FURIOUS FROGPALER about the thrill of victory, and what being
the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that
our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the BATTLE FROGS
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on MURSKA, what are you afraid of?
And guess who avoided BATTLE FROGS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was SOUND.
Anyone surprised?
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. Always good to rest in MURSKA, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Mace Face Frog -- You should sue! -- Sean ap Kormak
Mel -- Have you considered that your problem might be the Commission? They get these
weird notions of race, and the consequences of mis-representation are often
surprising. -- Deirdrie
Dorsum -- Making sound with your back? An odd technique. -- Sean ap Kormak
The steward called it "unbelievable," but *I* believe that Savage Beating "bested"
me. Worsted would be more like it. At least, *I* feel worsted. -- Fin mac Karmek
Hum -- You made my ears buzz. -- Oisin
Howlin' Wolf -- The death of a fellow warrior is not cause for celebration in our
stable. We offer a moment of silence for your talented RED. -- Trim, Mgr. of Sound
No Turn -- You turned! No fair! It took me by surprise and you won. Next time I'll
be more prepared. -- Hum
Oisin -- You learned well with such a short fight. -- Mel
Jorja -- You had a "high-low" turn! Jock MacBeagh ran away with the arena awards
(again)! Duel Master, Recognition Leader, and Most popular. Wow, a triple-crown!
In the same turn you had two losses to stand-ins. What's up with that? I think
they're Stand-ins on Steroids! Guess that's what makes this game so interesting. --
Trim
If you sent personals to hal and they do not appear in this newsletter, it's
