DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I'm baaaaaacccckkkk! I'll bet you didn't expect me, did you? You all had your
bets on the highly skilled, massively sandbagged, Assur-led The Cook Messed Up,
didn't you? Silly, silly, silly! (My tricks were better than your tricks, Waitress
Gal.)
This is my 3rd DM Title. I am 3-2 in Throne Fights. I am 2-1 with Marci Foote,
1-0 with The Cook Messed Up, and 0-1 with Dominion. And nothing looks easy for my
next fight. Oh, my!
May the best warrior next be Duelmaster Of The Red Sands. I pray that it be me.
Shelley DMIII
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ARDIVENT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! For
every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at FANDILS, who
went down to 2nd from 8th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 5-0-0 outing,
BLUVALLEY WARRIORS has advanced 4 places in the rankings. Advancing in the rankings
was THE 27 CLUB who went from last turn's 5-9-0, to this week's record of 8-10-0.
Hey everybody, watch out for LONG BIGGAR, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after
mashing BLACK BILE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was BLACK BILE, who dropped 19 points after a disappointing (to
say the least) bout with LONG BIGGAR. The most challenged warrior this week was
SHELLEY ANN. If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids! Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! SHELLEY ANN made a
challenge against THE COOK MESSED UP this week. In front of all the crowds, THE COOK
MESSED UP took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. Can
you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARDIVENT arena. Did you
hear that ERRATA was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene
of ERRATA's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch
AZURE CLOUDS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running
from ERRATA.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Congrats to ANTI-LEAP YEAR for revenging the death of his
teammate (but more importantly, feeding SLAYER a bit of dirt). Remember: alliances
are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
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. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Exotic Blades -- That was a mighty fine point turn. Clearly we should be avoiding
you. -- Fandil The Wise
Shelley -- I am proud of you, Duelmaster. It has been a long, hard road back. --
Fandil The Wise
The Cook Messed Up -- Uh, well, somebody did. -- Shelley
P.S. Where's MY tip?
Dew -- You brought your a-game and I am all wet. Really wet! -- Irvin
Arlene -- My dear, I appreciate the respect you Rosses show your elders. -- Uncle
Junior
Slugbait -- Was that another 0-0? This is easy. (wink) -- WOF
P.S. Bum hip, sliced back, old age, etc, etc
Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands await. -- Fandil The Wise
May -- You were my final prep fight prior to the Philly Stockyards. Thanks. --
Snuffy
All -- A LOT and high QUALITY of personal ads are making this a fun arena. For such
a small group, we are going Ardivent proud. Kudos to all. -- Fandil The Wise
Congrats, Shelly Anne, may your reign be long. -- slugbait
Marci -- I thought you would win that for sure but just in case I cranked down the
KD. -- less "Violent Orange" then usual
Storm -- You caught me by surprise and then I lucked out. -- No Name
Corbin -- Nothing gets my bile up more than broccoli or cauliflower. -- Black Bile
No mystery there.
Fandil -- You would figure in a small arena we would match up now and then. But, no.
Still 1-3. -- your pal -- sluggy
Shelley Ann -- I'll take average tips like that. Not what I like to see, but so much
better than getting stiffed, especially when your service wasn't perfect, but it
really wasn't my fault! I put your order in exactly as you gave it to me. -- The
Cook Messed Up
Joubert Klee -- Wow, I think that is the first time someone complimented me in front
of the boss on my performance. Next time, I'll bring you water out sooner! -- What
Water?
The Fandils -- Ah, yes, the First Rule of Symptom Comparison: Yours is always worse.
-- Arlene Ross
Clara Rose -- Cool? In this heat? Not very. Just don't forget what we agreed, what
you would do in return for me losing. -- Joubert Klee
Lady Orange -- I have good insurance. Which means, of course, that not only are my
expenses low, the insurers (Valamantis Life and Limb) see to it that my injuries are
not excessive. It's expensive, but well worth it. -- Long Biggar
Black Bile -- Why, thank you. We are widely known to be the best company, the most
socially ept, and Championship-class coversationalists. -- Corbin Ross
Bile -- Clears the tubes remarkably. -- Marci Foote
Violent Orange -- I look terrible in orange. But the problem is that I look Much
Worse in blood red. -- Marci Foote
Uncle Junior -- Oh, my! You are truly devastating. I hope YOUR discs aren't
ruptured? -- Arlene Ross, thinking of shared activities
Baxter -- Huh, the error was getting out on the sands with you in the first place. I
should've gotten a note from my mother and stayed home. -- Long Biggar
Black Bile -- Nothing seems to help, not even the very best bicarb. -- Corbin Ross
P.S. Is this a case where the cook REALLY messed up?
What Water? -- Why ask me? I never drink the stuff. -- Joubert Klee
