DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I can honestly say that having to submit a DM column was about the last thing I
expected! Kharadmon, my mgr, just wanted to see if I was still capable of fighting
or if I'd become too fat and old for the arena life. When he saw that I'd won the
title, all he did was start rubbing his temples with both hands, shaking his head and
muttering something about not needing the PPs... I was for tourneys... or something
along those lines. But since I'm here, he'll not let me lose the throne due to
inactivity.
No challenge, no avoids. If you want the throne, here I am.
-- Domination
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Fortune did not smile upon
SUPERHEROS this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake
of a 0-1-0 round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!
Witness how this week FANDILS went 3-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. UNCLE JUNIOR
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DEW and
was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels,
BAXTER put down SCALES, causing him to lose 9 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 DOMINATION himself. This time out RON BURGUNDY made his
bid for the throne as he challenged DOMINATION in an all out contest of skill for
possession of the title! Although RON BURGUNDY made a valiant effort, it did not
suffice to topple the reign of victorious DOMINATION. 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. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ARDIVENT
these days is BLUVALLEY WARRIORS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid
them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any
of AZURE CLOUDS last week. Busy avoiding BLUVALLEY WARRIORS?
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
I guess The Commission did not like either my ads or my strategies last turn. The
cretins discriminated against the elderly and cost The Fandils a Duelmaster and who
knows what all. Arghhhhh! -- Fandil The Wise (and disappointed)
Slugbait -- You are, indeed, on the comeback trail. -- WOF
All -- The Commission stripped me of my Title. I'm surprised they didn't strip me of
more, the witches! -- Shelley (sobbingly)
Congratulations to Domination, a dominating Duelmaster. -- Fandil The Wise
Domination -- I waaaaaaaaaant YOU! -- Shelley (with exaggerated bump and grind)
Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands await. -- Fandil The Wise
No Name -- What a lucky match up for you. -- no name
Arelene -- I'm a little shocked you had as much trouble putting me away as you did.
-- Blue Note
Ron -- Hmmmm. Bad for me, good for you. -- Violent
Short Smaller -- ? -- Bile
Storm -- Sure wish I could have hit you. -- rocksound
Fandil -- Running away already? Still 1-3. -- slugbait
Arelene -- I'm tired of fighting you every turn. Rock is off to the DA. -- Slugbait
Longer Bigger -- I'd rather be a winner then feminine. Rip I'll do. -- Violent
The Cook Messed Up -- Serving what? If you're the cook, got news for you, there
won't be a "much better place" until you learn your way around the kitchen. -- Corbin
Ross
The Cook Messed Up -- Oh, is that what happened? Good to know. I thought I was
just, um, provincial or something not to be comfortable with deep fried pickles and,
um, whatever that other thing was. Shoe leather steak? -- Marci Foote
Black Bile -- That's... vile. -- Long Biggar
If that Merchant were truly Honest, he wouldn't have been devastated by my
accusation. -- Corbin Ross
P.S. Because I had facts, you know. Devastating facts.
What Water? -- Yeah! (gasp, choke) What WAS that stuff? -- Joubert Klee
Blue Note -- More of a delicate lavendar, I think. -- Arlene Ross
Marci Foote -- Thanks for not taking the cook's mistake out on my tip. -- The Cook
