DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yes, I'm back with more swords. Longswords? Check! Shortswords? Check!
Broadswords? Check! Greatswords? Check! Scimitars? Check! You sword'em, I got
em.
Duck With Swords
Ducks Unlimited
Duelmaster of Xochitlan
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon XOCHITHLAN,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but
BASH BROS BABY comes out of nowhere to get 4-1-1. What does the future hold? Watch
this space... THE MIDDLE WAY had cause to celebrate, after SALOME TORENE got 27
points by beating PEKING DUCK. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 20 points to SALOME TORENE. (Discrete enough, PEKING
DUCK?) Well, Duelmaster DUCK WITH SWORDS challenged THE MIDDLE WAY's HORVANTH IRNDE.
Is a 14-1-0 good enough? What can be a greater victory? HORVANTH IRNDE has taken
his place as the top, as XOCHITHLAN's new Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of DARQUE ANGELS, alone and unchallenged.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, DUCKS UNLIMITED scurried away from DARQUE
ANGELS. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good
oral hygiene? Whatever it is, BLACK GUARD is the most challenged warrior. Do my
ears deceive me? SCROOGE MCDUCK (outclassed by 36 points) challenged BLACK GUARD, in
what promises to be a fight.(!) If SCROOGE MCDUCK had subdued BLACK GUARD, he'd be a
hero, but since he lost we just laugh at him. Tough break.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... DARK ELF CLERIC in
the Dark Arena wasn't enough for CWM of PARKLAND. Maybe that certain serving girl(?)
at The Warty Toad will be! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate
long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Do not
despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Duck with Swords -- Eating Peking Duck? Infamous! -- Your Fans on the Middle Way
Canton Duck is much better.
Howard the Duck -- Do you HAVE another evil plan? -- Horvanth Irnde
Three-two, and only ONE standby! And no win (or loss) was narrow: uneven, lucky,
one-sided, but not NARROW. That "narrow" business really bothered me. -- Salome
Torene
Duck With Swords -- It could hardly have gone any other way. -- Salome Torene
P.S. I *hope* your suggestion that the Commission flood the arena and stage some of
the fights as maritime matches was just a joke.
Howard the Duck -- I'm glad you didn't employ some "evil plan" on me. I'm sure
you're too noble a creature to do such a thing. -- Bettina Chim
And a standby. Ha. -- Wovern Yansy
