DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Once again I defeat the Khalhums Dwarf, whose popularity was only marginally
increased. And why should it have been more? He was frantic, there at the end, and
the fans could tell. It is not a good recommendation.
Vahnzur
P.S. Since I may fight on the Isle at some point in the foreseeable future, my
rather pedestrian numbers and favorites are not going to be revealed at this time.
Like it would make a difference, given my manager's disinclination to change
strategies, to challenge or avoid, to...but you don't need to hear that jeremiad
again. Fare you all well.
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. VEASTIAN needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for
GRINIAN? THE FAMILY's proud of him after beating THE USEROUS MERCHANT and getting 19
points. Talk about yer major upsets! STILJANZ's match with SHADOW TOMB cost him a
loss of 15 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think VAHNZUR
should let HANDOW be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Who was the
wiseguy that said VEASTIAN's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty Toad?
Don't look at me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. VEASTIAN is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby
Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Handow -- It must be a very bad badland, to have produced someone as unfeminine as
you. -- Tiranian
Shadow Tomb -- You're actually a burial vault? It doesn't show. -- Stiljanz
Darn. Drat. The Dangerous Criminal. At least Jorja doesn't expect us to beat him.
-- Grinian
But she does expect us to beat the Mordant Deserter, and I did so. -- Tirraj

I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe
