DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Don't listen to those reporters, Rusted Soul. I was NOT "brutally trying to
slay my foe." How could I, such a nice guy as I am? I was doing it gracefully and
in a spirit of good, clean fun.
Actually, I just have rotten aim. Sorry about that.
Gneiss Guy
P.S. Congratulations on escaping the arena with your life.
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ARDIVENT? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but
don't get cocky, BLUVALLEY WARRIORS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are
proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BECKER COLLIN win a fight and
gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, ECLIPSE beat PALANTIRIATHALASA and
PALANTIRIATHALASA lost 3 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the
old, in with the new, as POISED TO KILL takes the Title and last week's bar tab from
the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Seaside Manor, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From ARDIVENT's trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in ARDIVENT to get a drink than The Seaside
Manor! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
So much for trying out my personalized favorite of a weapon. It seems the quarter
staff hits much better. Gneiss Guy, that's being nice and letting you win. -- Rusted
Soul
Flint -- You might want to strap on some Plate Mail next time. -- Poised
Solaris -- Do you know where that whistling was coming from already??? It was a long
minute if you ask me. -- Eclipse
Visiting Orc -- Don't even bother talking to me; it's so not worth the record. --
Vecordius
Becker Collin -- I think there should be a most fights between two persons column.
We definitely would be at the top for a very long long time. -- BP
Poised to Kill -- Okay, okay, so you ARE poised. Great balancing act, and so on. Do
NOT fall off that poise-point and kill me, okay? I value this life highly, as it is
the only one I'm likely to have. -- Flint Hills
P.S. Damned if I know why the crowd jeered you.
P.P.S. (horrified gasp) Could it be...that the predicted coarsening of the moral
fiber of the citizens has ARRIVED, and they WANTED you to kill me? Gosh. I hope
not.
Palantectera -- Oh. It's you. Your name is too long and you never say anything. --
Debra Collin
Break Point -- (wincing) That was the point at which *I* broke. -- Becker Collin
Eclipse -- Yes, but I didn't LIKE it. -- Debra Collin
