DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
When I last went inactive, I was sitting on the throne. It was good to come back and
immediately reacquire the title.
Some times, Life Changes. Some times, it doesn't.

2-Time Duelmaster of Xochitlan
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly XOCHITHLAN games. Former top team BASH BROS BABY was
unseated this week as BOOK OF THOMAS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-0-0 record for the round. TAKIDOR caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested RIRORNI OFFICER and was awarded 18
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ZEB ARN put down
DUCK DUCK GOOSE, causing it to lose 8 points of recognition in the process.
Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster DUCK TALES challenged ZOE
ALBETA last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. The city has turned
out in honor of ZOE ALBETA, for with hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the
highest position in the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in
XOCHITHLAN seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In XOCHITHLAN "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! XOCHITHLAN, city of gladiators! Mighty among
the names of thy guilds is BOOK OF THOMAS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of DUCKS UNLIMITED are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. EXPENSES take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in XOCHITHLAN. A match that raised a few eyebrows at
the games this week, it seems that DARKWING DUCK posted a challenge against the more
highly recognized YENTAL ZEEVE. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand DARKWING
DUCK was overcame by YENTAL ZEEVE. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of
steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way
he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in XOCHITHLAN. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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
