But I'm not a man of a lot of words, so I already ran out of things to say. Fandil was helpful as he gave me this data to babble on about, so here goes.... My Fandil Teammates can be summarized almost completely by the following tidbits of data: Bonuses: Att, Att, Init, Dec, Par, Damage ST 8,12,15,16,17 CN 8,10,10,10,15 SZ 4,7,12,16,17 WT 3,5,13,17,17 WL 9,20,20,21,21 SP 4,7,8,8,10 DF 8,11,11,13,21 Maybe I can make it back as Duelmaster again next time and shower you with more worthless facts? Uncle Junior DMIII SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ARDIVENT games. Former top team FANDILS was unseated this week as BLUVALLEY WARRIORS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-2-1 record for the round. LEROY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JIMI HENDRIX put down JOUBERT KLEE, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail BLACK BILE, Duelmaster of ARDIVENT! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARDIVENT "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! ARDIVENT, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is BLUVALLEY WARRIORS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding BLUVALLEY WARRIORS. Indeed it was FANDILS. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. KURT COBAIN 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? This week marked the last days of NO NAME who at 10-6-0 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of AZURE CLOUDS' demanding management. 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 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK BILE 1868 23 10 0 106 AZURE CLOUDS (183) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ANTI-LEAP YEAR 4255 15 6 0 101 THE 27 CLUB (374) UNCLE JUNIOR 4300 12 10 0 96 FANDILS (75) KURT COBAIN 4253 10 11 0 94 THE 27 CLUB (374) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JIMI HENDRIX 4251 7 10 0 89 THE 27 CLUB (374) WHAT WATER? 3917 14 13 0 88 BASH BROS.

Hiding behind your scummy teammate so you don't have to face me. I understand. -- What Water? Fandil -- I guess I can't say you aren't wise. I was hoping you'd challenge with Junior, but I can't blame you. I've done the same many times. I'm going after Snuffy again, prepared this time. Probably silly and stupid, but especially with fun warriors, I enjoy the challenge. -- Assur All -- Oh, I will win; sometime; maybe soon, maybe not; working on my swirv; gotta get that right first. -- Swirvin Irvin Joubert Klee -- But I think you should have just lain down and curled up in a ball. I could have lived with that outcome. -- Irvin Corbin Ross -- Heck, guy, I'll take anything I can get. -- Uncle Junior What Water? -- Didn't order water. Ordered coffee. Now don't tell me "What Coffee?" or I'll tip you a pence. -- Snuffy P.S. Har, har, har, har.... Assur -- You challenged? You? Assir? Well, shucks, Young Man; thanks. -- Fandil The Wise Uncle Junior -- Keep up the good work, son. -- WOF Slugbait -- You out there? -- Fandil The Wise Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands await. -- WOF Jorja -- Was that cat story your version of "Cat on A Hot/Cold Tin Roof"? -- Irvin Snuffy -- Great fight. I wish I could have been the victor, but not to be! -- What Water? We did not get the fights for this turn, despite several attempts of the Commission to issue reprints, so-- To those we fought -- Good fights. -- We who fought you LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS NO NAME was butchered by STONE GOLEM in a 5 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
