DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail and well met, Ardivent. 'Tis a great day when I am Duelmaster and pass on to
immortality and being a Lord Protector of Alastari. I am not a tourney baby, as some
may think. My combined tournament record is 2-8-0. I am, however, blessed and with
near DYO stats. I am the first namesake "Talon" that Talon Volksie has managed to
graduate (out of 4 tries).
I am a LU, 9-6-11-17-21-3-17, favorites SH, very high, high, dodge tactic. I favor
the counter-attack and learn riposte. I leave MA attack & initiative, AE defense, EX
riposte. I am +4 attack and +4 defense. SWEET!
Luck to all, but this draws to a close our adventures in Ardivent.
Talon
Defender of the League Arcane
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 KHORNE
SHADOWSPAWN, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing VALLEY-JO like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. VALLEY-JO was defeated by KHORNE SHADOWSPAWN and drops 8 points. Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! TALON made a Dark
Arena Challenge against MISTRESS FANDETTE this week. The crowds were amazed this
turn, as MISTRESS FANDETTE killed the Duelmaster, TALON, leaving FLOYDS FAN CLUB in
mourning. This incredible death has allowed, I might add, REAGAN from DEATHTONGUE to
ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. Advice to
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ARDIVENT have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
