DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings from the top of the heap! It is I, your master of dueling, Boli. I want
to take this time to thank the peons that helped me achieve my lofty goal. First, to
you Jefferson Davis. Good fight. Not really. No seriously good fight. Ok
notsomuch. Thank you for the throne, you were a little dodgier than I thought, but
my superior attack wouldn't allow you to escape the awesomeness that is I.
Second, to all the other little people that I destroyed on the way. I thank you for
making this rightful ascension a humorous one at least. And with that, I leave you.
That's right, none of you are deserving of fighting the brilliance that is I until I
deem it necessary. Thus I am vacating the throne. I know your wives are secretly
weeping that I am leaving, but alas I am going to save the masterpiece of dueling for
another contest at another time, if it ever comes back to this arena.
With that, I take my leave.
Boli the Humble
Guess what? I LIED! I am going to continue to fight until I lose, upon which time I
will send myself to the dark arena in shame. I can't bear the thought of losing to
one of you and it will send me into such a dark funk that I won't be able to live
with myself. Merced, you will be my challenge this turn. -- Boli the unstable
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of STORMCROWE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. I have begun to suspect trickery on
the part of ADVENTURERS. How else weeks like this one's 3-2-0? How else the sudden
move to 12th team? There were bitter words at THE DAMNED II's guildhouse after a
0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 18th. Dark Arena anyone? My
praise to PHANTOM REGIMENT for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a
skillfully fought round deserving of notice! DICE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested SPEAKS IN TONGUES and was awarded 15
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DICE put down SPEAKS
IN TONGUES, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Although
GLACIER made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious
BOLI. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their
position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In STORMCROWE "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in STORMCROWE these days is DARQUE FORCES. At least, most blades in town are looking
to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of PHANTOM REGIMENT are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. HOLY VIRGIN BLOOD take
warning! You have more than a few enemies in STORMCROWE.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. This week marked the last days of BOLING
who at 9-5-2 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of OF WOLF & MAN 4's
demanding management. Was I the only one shocked to see the well respected fighter
BOLING (9-5-2) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is now dead. Some guilds
are strict but few are as heartless as OF WOLF & MAN 4. Witness, last turn they sent
MINOTAURO, a 3-1-0 fighter, to the Dark Arena! Was I the only one shocked to see the
well respected fighter TWO-TURN TITAN (3-0-0) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena?
He is now dead. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Great work on the Slaughterhouse Contest. This arena has been a lot of fun. The
Kids will be sticking around a little bit to do some tourney prepping. -- DK
Tripwire -- Thanks so much for being a great partner for the contest. Discussing
strats and warriors each month was a lot of fun. You really owned the arena big guy.
Way to go. We did it! -- DK
Congrats to Tripwire and Kellumbo on winning the Slaughterhouse! It was a tight
match, but you pulled away in the last two turns. -- Nomad
Congratulations also to Master Darque on a well run contest. This was my first
experience with a contest, and it was a good one. I look forward to the next
Slaughterhouse. -- Nomad
To all -- The Phantoms intend to stick around in Stormcrowe for awhile. We are not
sure how consistent our presence will be, but we will be around. Also, while
anything goes in a contest, the Regiment will be reverting to typical Nomad form
until the next Slaughterhouse. This means no down-challenges unless we are down-
challenged first. Hopefully many others will be sticking around as well. -- Nomad
and the Phantom Regiment
Magmus Martum -- It was very brave of you to return for the final bloodfeud.
Honorable as well. Nice try in the contest. -- Ichabod
Line -- A contest special on the challenge. Nice try. -- Prowler
Aunty Entity -- Usually when I manage to dodge that many attacks at some point I am
able to turn things around. But you didn't let me. Nice job. -- Jacob Marley
Claude Ellis -- Nice fight. I want to try that one again sometime. -- Dutchman
