DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Okay! This time I won the title match fair and square, and got a good meal out
of it besides. Of course, I have something like eight visible fights to every one of
my opponent's, but... way it goes.
Isengalen, trying to juggle four jobs up here
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Warriors--remember that glory waits always
around the corner! Witness how this week COLOR ME SUAVE went 1-0-0 to move up 3 in
the rankings. VEAL CHOP caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested DUECES WILD and was awarded 32 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, KARMIC KUDZU put down VEAL MARSALA, causing him to
lose 7 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of NO
LIMIT HOLD-EM, for with its arena victory it may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in RODEKI
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city RODEKI. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in RODEKI these
days is DELVERS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. If you
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of VENETIAN
CINQUE last week. Busy avoiding DELVERS?
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Look no more for NOTHING in the arena or on the
streets of RODEKI. Its fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at
15-7-0. Some guilds are strict but few are as heartless as DEALER'S CHOICE.
Witness, last turn they sent NOTHING, a 15-7-0 fighter, to the Dark Arena! NO PAIR
has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of his recent bout with the Dark
Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen
men cut down in their prime. This week DEALER'S CHOICE must mourn the loss of 7-4-1
DUECES WILD to VENETIAN CINQUE. 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!
The girls are as pretty in RODEKI as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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

PERSONAL ADS
Karmic Kudzu -- Yeah. Damn. That's what I've got. -- Jurgenhalen
Why do I get the feeling that the arena is serving as a sort of debtors' prison for
the Osksi Noble? He's no fighter, that's for sure. -- Ingrette
Veal Chop -- Cheese louise! You Venetians are cradle-robbers! If you don't let your
cattle grow up, you're going to run OUT of them. -- Khulbadd
No! I am NOT A DWARF! Where do the clerks GET these ideas? Just because I didn't
shave before applying for a team--! ARGGH! -- Joseph George
