DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, Stormcrowe!
First of all, let me apologize for not writing a column last turn. At the last
minute, Roadkill decided to ship a couple of us to the tourney, I didn't even have
time to pack for the trip. Trust me, we should have stayed home. Granted, Josie
just didn't have the fight experience to compete, but it appears my manager was quite
disappointed in my performance. In my defense, my hair was a mess, no make-up, and
my outfit was ghastly. I mean, how's a girl supposed to give her best when she looks
her worst.
I don't want to over stay my welcome so I'll cut this short. Now if we could
recruit a few more teams to join or come back, we wouldn't have to pay the NPCs time
and half for the work out they've been getting lately.
Duelmistress Callous Courtney
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly STORMCROWE games. ANDROMEDA caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was
awarded 29 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, AEGIR put
down AURORA MARIE, causing her to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. The
city has turned out in honor of PAYNE, for with hers arena victory she may now lay
claim to the highest position in the city! Would you believe that over half of the
old women in STORMCROWE seem to feel that they could fight better than you
gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city STORMCROWE. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. GOD OR GODDESS is feared. This much I can say. If you
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of STREET
WALKERS last week. Busy avoiding GOD OR GODDESS? Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after AURORA
MARIE. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
