DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Attention Cliffhomies!
I won't be fighting and defending the throne this turn--Noble is afraid I'll get my
invitation to AD, like another of his warriors did from Zorpunt this last turn. I'll
see you again on turn 477. Interesting guess as to who will hold the throne next
turn. My money is on Paws--he's gotta be fightin' mad after last turn's fight.
Dark Typhlosion
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for GUHULONG, who flew up 14 points in the
rankings after mashing THE USEROUS MERCHANT like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was PAWS, who dropped 8 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with CHERT. Well, if ya don't shows up at the
laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. DARK TYPHLOSION did not fight this week so
his title was forfeit. It's a proud day for the GREYHAWK stable, as their warrior,
CHERT, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the
body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the CLIFFHOME arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid JINDA-BAN, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does CLIFFHOME really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try this
one: JINDA-BAN + Weapons That go Boom = BOY O'S + Avoid City. Well just about
everybody wants a piece of SLICK RICK, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Floyd -- Greetings and well met! You've reappeared in 24 and 38 now. Looks like you
are tourney-prepping like me. In fact, I won't be fighting here again until right
before the tourney, and then just Dark T. I've got a few more turns in 24 before I
pause there. How about coming into 32? That arena is trying to have a renaissance.
The Icelord and I are having our feud there, the Dark One, The Trainer, Mad Max, all
there. What more fun could you have?? -- D. Noble
P.S. League Arcane reunites in a few weeks!
Chert -- I knew a chert once. It was a fine-grained flinty type, very well suited to
the making of arrowheads. You any kin? -- Dingil Bill
Hyper Boy -- You work too hard, you get tired too fast. You get ME tired too fast.
This not nice. Better you don't do this. Next time be calm. Like clam. Lazy.
Okay? -- Guhulong
Waldo -- (with a lofty look) That wasn't my kind of fight. I just couldn't warm to
the concept behind it. It hardly seemed worthy of my best effort. -- Harandur
What's a Volksie? -- Why ask me? -- Ballou Ys
P.S. But if you try that "folk-singing" stuff again, I'll have your tongue for
lunch.

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe
