DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It was a pleasure to me to knock that wretched Cows Afoot down to a lower
ranking. He's obviously a second-rate cow, or he'd be a horse. With a little more
luck, and fights like that (which would be luck, probably), I'll have a winning
record! Why, I might even graduate. Weird possibility.
Vonsitan Korv
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 SURFIN' COW, who flew up 21 points in
the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this
guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. UNCUT HARE lost to
WHAT'S A VOLKSIE? and drops 6 points. The most challenged warrior this week was
VONSITAN KORV. If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!
KORGOTH got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious
to kick VONSITAN KORV's tail out of the throne! It's a proud day for the BARBARIA
stable, as their warrior, KORGOTH, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe
they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the CLIFFHOME arena. Here's
a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad APOCALYPSE? Big bad APOCALYPSE. Big
bad APOCALYPSE. CLIFFHOME's afraid of the big bad APOCALYPSE. Tra la la la la! And
you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause TEAM FLOYD beats feet
every time APOCALYPSE smiles at them. Try farming, eh? EAGLE'S CLAW of TEAM FLOYD
had better have a good reason for challenging down 10 points in a challenge which he
won. I thought EAGLE'S CLAW showed great skill and promise when he beat KEVSILESSA
KIRO. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! This week 7-5-2 STABBING
EASTWARD was sent to the Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records
who might take notice of this. Big deal, so MELLOW LEDBETTER got mashed in the Dark
Arena. With its face it was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka).
Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very important step on
the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the CLIFFHOME giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Ah, a tourney listing! We salute the participants. Looks like a good prospect down
in the Rookies. Are we going to see team Buky Fells here? Not that we need more
cows, the one that's Afoot is bad enough. But still. -- Jorja and Jinda-Ban
Grr -- Well, I don't suppose I should have expected to defeat a tourney whiz like
you. But I *did* hope to pick up a skill or two. No need to be stingy with 'em, you
know. -- Kevsilessa Kiro
Horseman -- At least you aren't afoot. Be grateful for such small mercies. --
Logranal Maur
Scourge -- Nasty fellow, aren't you? Two kills in four wins? Even if they were
standbys, and I am *not* going back to look, that argues a very, um, focused fighter.
-- Trokressa Salm
A Persistent Beggar! Good, just what I wanted. -- Nilismarin Salm
