DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Who is this "Kung-Fu Master," and what made him think he could break my fenders
with his bare hands? It's pedestrians like this who give safe and careful vehicles a
bad name.
Runabout
P.S. Always have your brakes checked before undertaking a serious stretch of
mountain driving. Remember, a sound brake does not squeal--that is a cry for help!
Neglect it at your peril.
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CLIFFHOME! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. In one of the week's more notable
duels, SIR LICKSALOT put down WALDO, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in
the process. Although KHALHUMS DWARF made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to
topple the reign of victorious RUNABOUT. No confirmation, but my sources claim that
the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. DINGIL BILL take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in CLIFFHOME. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it
seems that PAWS posted a challenge against the more highly recognized DINGIL BILL.
The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand PAWS won victory over DINGIL BILL.
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Who's been feeding M. Chardinee meat? He came out like a charging lion, or whatever
it is that charges out at people, I've heard lions are actually rather shy, and he
BIT me! Either he's really getting into the "raw meat" craze, or he's got some very
strange ideas. -- Dingil Bill the slightly apprehensive
Waldo -- You have a bathtub? What do you use it for, brewing gin? From all I hear,
bathtub gin would definitely be a breeding vat for monsters. I never touch the
stuff, myself. Got too much regard for my health. -- Harandur
Userous Merchant big fool. He have stuff I like, I offer one bong for it. He say,
give him two. I bong him on head two times, he get mad! Bong him many times, he get
very quiet. Better that way. Talk too much, use long words. He big fool, now flat
fool. -- Guhulong

I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths

4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
