DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Noble Assassin? I always wondered, are you a noble who's also an assassin, or are
you a man that assassinates nobles? That was never very clear. Ah well, I suppose
it doesn't really matter.
Mean old Fandil, not letting Anna come out to play! Where the heck did everyone
wander off to anyways?
See you next turn,
Binkly
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ALF MUSHPIE caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MUNGO BURKE and was awarded
15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VETERAN MERCENARY
put down SNORKY, causing it to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail ANNA BEATRICE, Duelmaster of
ARDIVENT! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week,
the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ARDIVENT. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. DEATHTONGUE 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 FANDILS last week.
Busy avoiding DEATHTONGUE? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those
below. TANIA PARK take warning! You have more than a few enemies in ARDIVENT.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ARDIVENT. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Hope everyone had great moments at The Cleveland Face. May you have done The Red
Sands proud. -- Fandil The Wise
Health. Humility. Honor! A salute to Duelmaster Binkly. -- Fandil The Wise
Randell Scott -- You weren't trying to "get lucky" with ME, were you? That is not
gonna work! -- Brother Jerome
P.S. I shall offer a prayer for your salvation.
You know, Technogeek, when it comes to top spot and team, you really, really do
deserve it. It would be difficult to think of someone more deserving. All us
Fandils salute you. BUT, that doesn't mean that our occasional bouts of greed or
couvetness don't keep us aspiring for it! (wink) -- WOF
Tania Park -- I gave it my all, but I just couldn't get it done. You did very, very
well. -- Sis (crying, and looking for her credit card to go shopping and drown her
sorrows)
Mungo -- That's as good as I can do! I was able to overcome your experience by just
plain willpower. Are you one of THOSE who are giving Uncle Bobs' a bad name in this
arena? Gossipers! Rumor-Mongers! -- Uncle Bob
Bingo -- I always enjoy getting down and dirty with you! (wink) You get the down
and dirty part, and I get the enjoy part. -- Lily Catherine
A note from The Sports Commissioner:
Only in Ardivent-Of-The-Red-Sands could there be such a grand competition as two
great long-term respected teams battling it out for top winning percentage. Your
Sports Commission plans to chronicle this event over the next few months. Meanwhile,
the competition is so close.

The Commissioner
Jennimys -- About what I expected, though I had hoped for more skills. -- Alf
Bluevalley "warriors" -- Why must you mean old poopie heads make fun of my name. I
can't help what my parents called me. A pox on the lot of you! -- Alf
Virginal Concubine -- Yeah, right. -- Snorky
You making fun of her name?
Happy Peasant -- What are you happy about? -- Betty
You don't want to know. Trust me on this.
Janson Gemwater -- Welcome to the arena of the red sands. -- Fran
Alf Mushpie -- We have to stop meeting like this, people will talk. Let's meet
privately, instead. Then WE can talk, and no one can watch over our shoulders.
There is so much that can't be done on the sands. -- Jennimys Collin
Sis -- Rah, rah, sis boom bah! That's the kind of fight I like. -- Tania Park
P.S. Well, I wouldn't have minded learning something, but still, a win is good.
Uncle Bob -- Smile when you say that. -- Mungo Burke
Lily Catherine -- Listen, old crumpet, you really didn't need to do that. Lady
weight-lifters, no, not the right kind of thing, what? -- Bingo Little
Brother Jerome -- I had a brother. I hated him and buried him in a bog. -- Randell
Scot
P.S. But it was religious, not a personal revenge.
Lily Catherine -- Oh, I say! Quite the good thing, that lady. But not at all like
my Aunt Agatha, which is good because you really wouldn't want TWO women like my aunt
Agatha. -- Bingo Little
Betty -- Well, I train my cuteness, then. Which stat is that? -- Mungo Burke
