DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Considering that this column has been quiet, at least recently, I thought I would
step up and say something. Not that what I have to say is important, really, it's
just that there should ALWAYS be something posted here.
I snuck up and took the throne in a truly orcish manner. *grin* Everyone thought I
was gone, but NOPE!! *chuckle* I am not here long, really, only one, maybe two
turns. Either way, I am looking forward to seeing you all here again for one more
turn.
Your orcish Duelmaster,
Northern Paladin
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
RODEKI. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Advancing in the rankings was COLOR ME SUAVE who went from last turn's 417-307-19, to
this week's record of 422-307-20. Hey everybody, watch out for COLD TAMALE, who flew
up 13 points in the rankings after mashing CONVICTED THIEF like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was LEAFCUTTER BEAL, who
dropped 4 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with CHIP. In front
of all the crowds, ROCKJAW took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum
two weeks. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid DELVERS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does RODEKI really have that many liars?
Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch RESCUE RANGERS' act in the arena. Those
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DELVERS.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the RODEKI giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).
Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
JE -- (re T486) You're welcome! -- Lord Xiang
Sentinel -- Howdy-ho! Fancy running into you here. -- Lord Xiang
P.S. Should go ahead and do that DA thing next turn. Why wait? *grin*
Hammer -- Welcome back! Hope you can stick around longer than tourney timing this
time out. -- Lord Xiang
Rocksock and Leafcutter Beal -- With this crowd (esp. Sentinel and Suave!!!), I would
tone down the lubricant comments. -- Lord Xiang
Patch -- How'd you manage that one? I avenged Two Half Leaves, it claims as much in
the DA reports, and you're 2-0-1? I don't know where you found your Wayback Machine,
but I don't think they're legal in Alastari. It's not my fault that you only learned
one skill; you should've paid attention while I was pounding on you. -- Deadly Four
of Spades
Sentinel -- Whenever you want to show and hang for a bit, you're always welcome to
catch a brew at Arthur's. Rumor has it the rest of the LBA will eventually show up
here again, but with TOGS, the Mordanti Olympics, and whatever else, I'm happy to
keep the arena warm. -- Suave
Any Rodeki historian know how many wins it'll take for the all-time lead here? Do I
only need to pass the Delvers? -- Suave
Lord Xiang -- Sorry to steal an award from you; had you sent someone to the DA, you
could've picked up some cheap recognition points and taken Team on the Move as well.
Should we expect Northern Paladin to hang out until he graduates? I expect he'll
fight free until then. -- Suave
Fredibar -- Remember back when I used to pick on you every fight? How come you got
better and I still suck? -- Jockstrap Jones
Northern Paladin -- Good! Us rock-jawed heroes don't do Duel2Dude's columns, but YOU
can. Paladins always like to strut. -- Rockjaw
M. Chardinee's insurance has lapsed. That was good for a laugh. -- Fredibar
The Convicted Assassin "really hurt." I would not normally wish that on anybody, but
he needed it to understand how his victims felt. -- Handsome Does
Chip -- I do not deal with chips. I am made for bigger rocks. -- Rocksock
John Wayne Hammer -- If you're not a leaf, I'm not interested. -- Leafcutter Beal

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
