DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Very perceptive of you, Children of Llyr. My 0-2 in Dead Challengers certainly
didn't earn me a resurrection.
My manager used a prize from his Eligibles TC to bring me back to life. Some
might argue it was foolish and sentimental of him, but I am not complaining! Having
just tipped over into Dead Challengers this tourney from Dead Champions, it was going
to be a long hard road to claw my way back to life.
I only hope that I can remain alive for the next few turns and earn a permanent
reprieve with a ticket to the Isle!
Vampire Squid
SPY REPORT
Welcome MURSKA. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with SLAM? He
actually beat FOOT OF PRIDE's DANNY BOY, and walked away with 19 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at FOOT OF PRIDE. DANNY BOY lost 4 points to SLAM. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe DANNY BOY will provide more easy wins... See how the
Duelmaster challenged FOOT OF PRIDE's LORD'S PRAYER? That sort of initiative is how
he got where he is now. Try as he might, LORD'S PRAYER wasn't good enough at
persuading VAMPIRE SQUID to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be
nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses
of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, CHILDREN OF
LLYR! In my day, no team with a 1015-1297-32 would scare me off! What's the
problem, SOUND? What do people see in DANNY BOY? His 11-5-0? FOOT OF PRIDE ain't
talkin', but he's got 38 points. COLLEEN didn't quite know what to make of a
challenge she received from TUMULT of SOUND, who is 18 points below her. TUMULT
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by COLLEEN and ended up with
32 recognition points.
Warriors of MURSKA unite. You have only your games to lose! Someone told NO
TURN that SEA DOGS never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure
whoever misled you is right sorry. Methinks BATTLE FROGS' desire for revenge against
FOOT OF PRIDE passes with each passing moment... One week left guys! Let's get on
with the show! How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Danny Boy -- Just wish I could crack that hard shell of yours. You are like a
"weeble"... you "wobble, but don't fall down"! -- Tumult
Oisin -- That's how I like my fights... short and to the point! -- Mel
Colleen -- You have beaten my team twice in a row! If you want to meet at Kraki's

always up for some good food! -- Tone
You see? We were right about the five-oh last time being bound to be followed by a
fall. One-four this time. Bah. -- Children of Llyr
Hum -- Of course I deserved the win! Who better? -- Oisin
Tone -- I was NOT trying to kill you. The very idea! I don't DO that. -- Colleen
Vampire Squid -- Ugh. -- Finn mac Karmek
Mel -- This is all so I don't get swelled head, isn't it? -- Oisin
Hum -- I wasn't trying to kill YOU, either. -- Colleen
