DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I told Jorja that a personal was enough, no need for this lavish outlay of
words. But she said, "No, Mel did a column, so you will do one, too." Talk about
STUBBORN! I guess "stubborn" is what it takes to get a basher to the Isle. Glad I'm
not one!
Talk about an active (and painful) fight, Mel is one tough cookie. The damage
went both ways. I salute you, Mel.
Deirdrie
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. It seems the training can make the
difference, as SOUND is pushed out of top team by CHILDREN OF LLYR, who came from 2nd
with a 3-2-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for SOUND, whose 0-5-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 5th. The
FOOT OF PRIDE 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, LORD'S PRAYER
fought PRIVATEER and gained 23 points and contributed to FOOT OF PRIDE's 3-0-0.
PRIVATEER has lost to LORD'S PRAYER, falling 19 points, while helping make SEA DOGS a
2-3-0 turn. Defending hers title for another turn, DEIRDRIE kept SEA DOGS' warrior,
URCHIN, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern 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. VAR'S FAV BARS 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 VAR'S FAV BARS more than any other team we find SOUND. MURSKA, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was HAPPY FUN TIME's warrior SAVAGE BEATING. More fighters challenged it 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...
I like this place, MURSKA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? 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--

PERSONAL ADS
Deirdrie -- You fought superbly! You threw so many criticals (both offensive &
defensive) that you made me dizzy! I'd like a rematch to regain my pride, but I may
have to wait a turn. -- Mel, former Duelmaster of Murska
Finn Mac Karmek -- I challenged you because I really thought I had a chance. Boy,
was I wrong... the pain in my right arm proves it! -- Hum
Lord's Prayer -- You made it one sided... maybe that prayer stuff works?! -- Tumult
The Chrome Horse -- Please remove my name from your weapon! I'm not looking forward
to our rematch after your learn. -- Slam
All -- I've fallen from the highest height to the lowest valley--from a 5-0 to a 0-5
turn. My last turn's Duelmaster can't even challange for the position again! Well,
I did get "Top Team", which was very surprising indeed. Anyway, more training and
less shouching for my team! -- Trim, mgr. of Sound (15)
Not another beating! -- Privateer
Mel -- Precarious, for sure! But good work in accomplishing the title once. Makes
the next time more likely. -- Deirdrie
Our grudging congratulations to Torture (we wouldn't want anyone to think we APPROVE
of you) for your TV. -- the Children of Llyr
Hum -- That's nothing against a set of bagpipes. -- Finn mac Karmek
Danny Boy -- I hope you get ingrown toenails! -- Oisin
Blowfish -- Ah, as suggested a while back, if you're punctured, you make a rude noise
and fly around the arena backward! Cool. -- Sean ap Kormak
Oh, Deserters, who cares about them? -- Colleen
