DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I sure hope I can become a Lord Protector soon--like that Sabre. It is time for
me to go on to bigger and better things. I hear the bread and water are finer and
more plentiful on The Isle. I like my food. Perhaps that will be my downfalling? I
will have to spend extra time in meditation at the chapel to help dispel that cancer
of gluttony.
We Fandils were proud of our 5-0 this past turn, but the unintentional death of
Mungo Burke at Uncle Bob's hands certainly put a damper on any celebration. The
Mungo was a great guy. Go in peace, Mungo.
I am here for the taking. I would like to make it five titles and then on to
The Big Time after next turn. Come and get me.
Brother Jerome DMIV
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. SERPENTITO caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested YVONNE and was awarded 14 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SERPENTITO put down YVONNE,
causing her to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most
sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster
BROTHER JEROME himself. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster
BROTHER JEROME challenged TANIA PARK last week in a match to decide the fate of the
throne. Not for nothing has BROTHER JEROME in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.
Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without
pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ARDIVENT. ARDIVENT, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is DEATHTONGUE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of FANDILS are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. The warrior's path is harsh. For
mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week CELIA RANDELL, at 7-10-2,
departed ARDIVENT forever. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable
with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ARDIVENT as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Congratulations to Lord Protector Sabre. Well done. -- Fandil The Wise
Tania -- Patience is a virtue, they say. -- Brother Jerome
Oh, no! Mungo! I did not mean to kill you! I am sorry, sorry, sorry. I now wish I
had not challenged you. -- Uncle Bob
Bluvalley Warriors -- May the great Mungo Burke fight well in that great arena in the
sky. We will miss him. -- WOF and The Fandils
Fran Bran -- We sure burned up the court with lots of volleying, didn't we? I hope
you are okay and recover shortly. -- Earl
Trustworthy Scribe -- Thanks again. -- Yvonne
Coral, Coral, Coral, you tried to fool me didn't you? At least you got to go to the
tournament and get some "development." I had to stay home. Boring. -- Mildred Leona
Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands Await. -- Fandil The Wise
Okay, I suck at personals lately... -- Technogeek
Ratler -- Grrrr. -- Snorky
Earl -- Man, you are DULL! -- Fran
Katerina -- Thanks for the win and the nice skills. -- Oliver
Brother Jerome -- That wasn't very brotherly of you. I mean, sure, you had to do
your best, but you did NOT do your best to teach me stuff. That's what a brother
should do: teach stuff to his sister. Get with it. -- Tania Park
Uncle Bob -- I was still using those ribs, you know. -- Ghost of Mungo Burke
P.S. Low con strikes again. Or is struck again, maybe. Of course, the two head
blows that preceded the smash to the chest didn't help much.
P.P.S. Proof, if anybody wanted it, that fifty fights, which I had before Uncle Bob
got his hands on me, do not guarantee graduation.
Sabre -- Sorry, old chap, but I just wasn't up for my best efforts today. Losing
Mungo, what? A shock. He was like an older brother to me. -- Bingo Little
Serpentito -- Little and slippery! I have a feeling that won't be so (relatively)
easy next time. -- Celia Randell
Oliver -- Wow, talk about greedy! The win, four skills, two ratings, and all you
gave me in return was a measely one skill and rating? Ouch. -- Katerina Collin
Our congratulations to Sabre. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley Warriors
A salute to Ardivent's tourney participants, also. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley
