DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Let me state unequivocally, that I had absolutely NOTHING to do with Angel Cake's
disappearance.
While it IS true that I had the most to gain by his failing to appear in the arena,
and I WAS the last person seen with him before his disappearance, and I was misquoted
by several members of the press as saying I would ANYTHING to become Duelmistress, it
is simply not true that I know what happened to him.
I hope this puts to rest any rumors that are still out there.
Now, on to more positive items ...
Nok Gorka -- Maybe I shouldn't have mocked you in the pre-fight press conference. But
I had to do something to get you off our game. My witty repartee of, "You and what
Halbard?" was NOT meant as a strategic suggestion. That thing nearly cut me in half!
And to top it off, you learned better than me. Not my finest hour.
Snaegh -- Yellin says, "You suck!"
Billy Bob -- Vizzini was very impressed with your endurance. Of course, we all knew
you were going to lose, right from the very beginning, but it was quite amusing to
watch you continuing to try and win even as you went into oxygen debt. Next time he
promises to swing back.
Cousin Cleatus -- Pretty bad matchup for The King. He is an old man, after all. I
mean, OLD! But lovable.
Until next turn ... Toodles!
-- Your Duelmistress, Buttercup
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 A REPORTER, who
flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing COUSIN CLEATUS like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was OL' WILLIAM, who
dropped 9 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with WESTLEY. Our
battling duelmaster BUTTERCUP has managed to hold the title, fending off M.
CHARDINEE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, STORMCROWE. 4 out of 5
gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Did you hear that SHEWISH BUFFET was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the
personal hygiene of SHEWISH BUFFET's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not
be funny, but catch MAX'S MIRACLE's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be
fairly deft at running from SHEWISH BUFFET. Well just about everybody wants a piece
of COUSIN CLEATUS, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in STORMCROWE have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat
it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
