                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Three more starts and then I'll be put on ice.  Assur is taking me to Tempe for
winter ball and has hopes that I'll be a star there.  I must thank The Family for
helping me to refine my game.  For me, it is a simple formula.  Take the ball when
given the opportunity and throw your best, try to get guys out and keep your team in
the game.  Sometimes it works out great.  Sometimes, not so great. -- Cyclone

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Hey everybody, watch out for THE BIG UNIT, who 
flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing A BAD LIE like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was A BAD LIE, who dropped 
14 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with THE BIG UNIT.  Unlike 
most arenas, CYCLONE managed to get his challenge off against the 25-20-1 KIRVINJ.  
Our battling duelmaster CYCLONE has managed to hold the title, fending off KIRVINJ's 
none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, THE FAMILY.  An apple a day keeps 
the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid ORDER, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does VEASTIAN really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, 
unsling your rasberries, cause FAMOUS HURLERS beats feet every time ORDER smiles at 
them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this KIRVINJ you ask, with 97 points and a 
25-21-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Here's some advice:  warriors 
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And remember, you can pick your 
friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
