DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A 3rd DM Title. Wow! I am surprised and proud! Who'd a thunk it?! 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?

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
