DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Userous Merchant? He'd be a joke, except he isn't funny. A wimp, of
course, and a RUDE wimp, at that, and probably a Murskan spy. I wanted to kill him,
but the arenamaster stopped me, wouldn't even let me bury him in the sand. I think
we should bury the ARENAMASTER in the sand.
Vahnzur
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in VEASTIAN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with ROY! ROY!
ROY!? He actually beat THE FAMILY's GRINIAN, and walked away with 14 more points
from the fight. Major screwup at THE FAMILY. GRINIAN lost 10 points to ROY! ROY!
ROY!. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe GRINIAN will provide more easy wins...
Try as he might, KHALHUMS DWARF wasn't good enough at persuading VAHNZUR to step down
from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to
practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, HELL'S PAWNS! The bums at HEADHUNTERS couldn't face the challenges from
HELL'S PAWNS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, TIRANIAN! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you. DIRK DIGGLER of BOOGIE NIGHTS knows how to pick 'em. He challenged TIRANIAN of
THE FAMILY who is up by 23. Now was this a wise move? DIRK DIGGLER perhaps got his
just desserts, seeing as he subdued TIRANIAN and ended up with 62 recognition points.
Warriors of VEASTIAN unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
My feelings are terribly hurt that this arena couldn't muster anything but a standby
to see me off. At least SHE was friendly, taught me a useful skill (I never would
have thought of doing my eye make-up that way!), and came down to the stage station
afterward to wave goodbye. -- Tiro Cuckoo
P.S. By the way, where is Noachian when we need more warriors in a Karnhorn arena?
(sneering) The Dangerous Criminal's not so tough! I just slapped his hand and he
went desperate, which tells you something right there. -- Tiranian
P.S. Besides, he has no skills, or he would have taught me more. He's useless.
Let's feed him to the lions.
A Cult Member? I didn't know we had cults here in Veastian. Sounds like a bad
situation. We should hunt them out, and BURN them out. -- Grinian
And my encounter with the Mordant Deserter (he should have stayed home) brings The
Family to five-oh against standbys. If it had been against managed warriors, it
would have meant something. As it is...it just makes us wonder why this arena is
still open. -- Stiljanz
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
