DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Why am I still fighting?! I wasn't on maintenance! I did not plan on being here. I
was not supposed to be in those fights! I'm sitting there on the throne, just
watching the games like a Duelmaster is supposed to do, but enjoying it as a fan of
the games this time. All I wanted to do was fulfill my duty and see if the
Torchlight Kid could claim my seat. All of a sudden some fool of an announcer says
that I will be fighting the next duel! That fool of a guard the commission sent to
bring me to the training room to get ready was lucky I didn't skewer him! I must
tell you guys, Nomad will not be pleased about this. And then it happened twice,
despite multiple petitions to the commission!
If I am back here again next turn I'll... well, I'm not sure what I'll do. But
you had better bet that the next column will include a few choice words better
uttered in solitude on a Hilltop of Clifftop or some such place.
-- Duelmaster Guru Gnu, who said he wasn't going to keep fighting and meant it!
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of CLIFFHOME! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ZIG caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested LUM BUSBY and was awarded 14 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JITNEY JOHNNY put down ZAG,
causing her to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, GURU GNU has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time
victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail TORCHLIGHT KID, Duelmaster of
CLIFFHOME! No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their
position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In CLIFFHOME "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Let all swords of the city take heed! By law,
HILLTOP GURUS has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon CHARGIN' CHARLIE
for the slaying of LOGOS. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with
fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Chargin' Charlie -- Don't you think if I meant to fight I'd have bloodfeuded? -- Guru
Gnu
Siemien... -- Or whatever. Nice challenge. Never challenge the Monk. Especially
when I'm grumpy from being woken up in order to fight a duel I was never supposed to
be fighting anyway. -- Scarlet Monk
Chargin' Charlie -- Never charge! Pay cash. -- Bent Fender
Arya Heartwood -- Listen, you're a cute kid, in that earthy half-human way, but you
bit off more than you could chew. Better to start smaller. -- Jitney Johnny
Torchlight Kid -- You again! You can graduate any time now. -- Kartikaya
Zag -- Good try, but the situation called for a zig on that one. -- Lum Busby
We congratulate Guru Gnu. -- Jorja and Jinda-Ban
Guru Gnu -- Naturally you are advancing, what less could one expect of a true guru?
And naturally, you have no desire for worldly goods, all the best gurus speak
scornfully of them. So I will simply offer you our congratulations and let it go at
that. -- Ilsvain, Chief Arena Steward

There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong
arenas. When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct
arena number! It's easy for a finger to slip onto the wrong key. When the
receipt comes back, check again to be sure it went where you intended!
Vigilance is your friend, and mine too. -- the Editor
