DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings all,
I'm happy this turn because I actually learned skills in my last fight. I would like
to thank Shadowcat Hammer for teaching them to me.
I'm not sure how long I will be here (not on the throne, in the arena) since I just
picked up my first Expert rating last cycle. I do not believe that any other areas
are even close to a major threshold, unless you count positive numbers as a
threshold.
Hopefully, I will be here next time. My former teammate Hot Lips held the throne for
6 consecutive turns. According to Terrablood's record page, which has kept records
since 2000, I need 7 to top her. I'm doubtful, but will do my best.
Until next turn,
Raggedy Ann
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of STORMCROWE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team ARCTIC WASTES was
unseated this week as DARQUE FORCES moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 5-0-0 record for the round. A new guild, JESTER'S BROOD, entered STORMCROWE
with a clash this turn, showing off a 3-1-1 record. Indeed, a worthy addition to the
city guilds. BEAST HAMMER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
he skillfully bested WALRUS and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, AUNTY ENTITY put down GELIDNIA HALE, causing her to lose
11 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has RAGGEDY ANN in the past
laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill
yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week,
the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
GELIDNIA HALE. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? My condolences to ARCTIC WASTES for their loss of a very promising
warrior, WHITE BEAR. WHITE BEAR went to doom before the arms of CAPTURED ORC, a
warrior of STORMCROWE. 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in STORMCROWE. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer
can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Jorja -- Been trying to email you, but I keep getting bounced. -- Master Darque
P.S. rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com
Yuffie? What kind of name is that? It conjures up images of, well, warm-and-fluffy,
not darqueness. Still, who knows about names, eh? Besides, the name often doesn't
connect to the Inner Person. After all, look at me: I'm called Dangerous Dan, but
my Inner Person is a total pussycat. -- Dan Mack Gru
Aunty Entity -- Drat. I have always been intimidated by my aunts, and I see that it
applies to other people's aunts, also. At least, I hope you're not related to me?
That would be a truly startling prospect. -- Lady Winter
P.S. To acquire an aunt without forewarning.
Angel Hammer -- I question that. Hammer, yes, angel, I don't think so. How can an
orc be an angel, after all? -- a hammered Walrus
P.S. Surely, after four years I could graduate? Is this too much to ask?
The Kung-Fu Master may have won that fight, well, he DID win that fight, but I froze
his little toe off when he kicked me. Disregard me at your peril! -- Frostbite
Beast Hammer -- And it's very beastly you are, too. -- Gelidnia Hale
Wretch -- Well, I'm not going anywhere, so come when you can. -- Dan Mack Gru
P.S. I do regret Permafrost. I TOLD them not to build the fire right there, but
they did, and shwush--the permafrost melted. Really messy.
