DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I am outta here, ladies and gentlemen! I finally bribed the right politician
and got my invite to the Isle. So, I'll be leaving this island and heading to
another... island. What was I thinking? Perhaps I'll retire to a secluded country
chateau instead.
For those interested in particulars, I am 9-14-14-21-9-4-13. I have a Master
Riposte, and Advanced Experts in Attack and Parry. I am +4 Attack and I've maxxed
out my Riposte and Parry skills. My favorite weapon is LS, which I have never used.
I like LO/VL rhythm and learn Parry skills. Darque wasn't too happy with my overall
learning. I picked up only about 1.85 skills per fight, even with the 21 Wit.
I leave with winning records against Plunger, Ripper, Slasher, Strikers, and
Total Parry warriors, going a combined 17-9-1 against them. I have losing records
against Aimer, Basher, Lunger, and Wall of Steel styled warriors going 4-9. I have
never fought a Parry Striker, so nothing to report there. I have never run in a
tournament, so what you see is what you get when it comes to FE. Hopefully, I'll end
my career here in Stormcrowe on a positive note.
Darque did want me to use this platform to announce that he is planning on
running the next installment of the Slaughterhouse here in Stormcrowe AFTER the 2012
Spring Mailer. The Commission has already approved the prize pool and the scoring
system is in the works. It will be a team competition with various rewards for
individual achievements. Start planning now for the big event!
Your Duelmistress,
Lady Protector Yumalesca
P.S. No, really, is there anyway I can get my name spelled correctly now that I'm
graduating?
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! NORTHERN LIGHTS posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd. Everybody loves a
winner... Practice pays for AURORA MARIE, who pummelled CAPTURED ORC, to pocket 14
points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after
losing 1 points to CELESTIAL ROSE. (Discrete enough, WHITE BEAR?) Those who hoped
for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by VETERAN MERCENARY, of STORMCROWE, who
despite a 0-0-0 couldn't overcome STORMCROWE's Number 1. Word has it one team in
STORMCROWE is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet
it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of GOD OR GODDESS, alone and unchallenged. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of DARQUE FORCES, so did that sorry team
shy from GOD OR GODDESS If challenges were horses, GLITRINA could open up a fast food
joint!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see GOD OR GODDESS
retaliate against DARQUE FORCES in bloodfeud! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for
he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Can anything
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for STORMCROWE? On that giddy note I
take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Yunalesca -- Well, you could ASK them. But none of the Commission clerks read the
newsletter, you know. -- Jorja
Aha, we see that Yunalesca IS graduating now. We offer our congratulations. -- Jorja
and the Northern Lights
P.S. Good job on that Convicted Assassin.
Sir Blackguard -- Looks like we fought you a lot last turn. Sorry we didn't have
time to do personals then. If we've fought you this time, it will be different. --
the Northern Lights
Nike -- You're probably nuts, to have challenged me. Sure, I'm not THAT far above
you in the ranks, but experience is also an issue, and I AM that far ahead in
experience. -- Aurora Marie
The Ambitious Guard took me by surprise, okay? It happens. -- White Bear
The Userous Merchant seems to have thought that, as an orcess, I wouldn't be able to
tell how much he was cheating me. Typical Karnhorn arrogance! I guess I showed HIM.
-- Glitrina
Frigga -- When an avalanche is roaring down on you, you're supposed to MOVE, woman.
-- Avalanche
P.S. I rather enjoyed the "roaring" part.
Embezzling Scribe? Ridiculous! -- Iapere
