DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Okay, it's true. I have won my second Duelmaster Title. Whooooooey! I'm
proud, but I am even prouder about the Lord Protector honor bestowed on my old, old
friend Swirvin' Irvin. Let me tell you about him.
His mentor and godfather is a cat, and Swirv is named after him. Irvin Francis,
a big sorta-ugly grey tabby swirved up on the front porch one day and circle-eighted
the boss's wife for some food. Shortly thereafter he became an inside cat, to
partner with Beatrice, a black/tan/white torty. The boss lady named him after her
grandfather and added the boss's middle name; hence, Irvin Francis.
Irvin was born as a very interesting aimed-blow. A project, one might say. Let
me show you all his statistics.
15-10-7-3-21-7-21 aimer
great endu/normal damage, +4 parry
He was "muscled up" to:
17-14-7-5-21-8-21 trem endu/good dmg
His skill learn rate is a massive 0.50 (Ugly, eh?)
He seems to like that LS best.
LS @ 18/52/2
FI @ 5/33/0
all other 3/43/1
He is now an immortal Lord Protector.
I aspire to be a LP also. Can I make it? Can I make it arena-undefeated? Time
will tell.
A salute to all.
Leroy DMII, TVII
SPY REPORT
Hail ARDIVENT! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as FANDILS is pushed out of
top team by THE 27 CLUB, who came from 2nd with a 3-1-0 this turn. On their very
first turn, WRATHMEN had a 5-0-2, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do
well. Welcome to ARDIVENT. And let's see, BAERUS fought ANNA B and gained 23 points
and contributed to WRATHMEN's 5-0-2. TRIA SKATHACH has lost to ROBERT JOHNSON,
falling 5 points, while helping make BLUVALLEY WARRIORS a 2-3-0 turn. We should ask
ARLENE ROSS about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a
warrior, she's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Seaside Manor uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. BLUVALLEY WARRIORS has cause to stand tall, as they were
ARDIVENT's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And
avoiding BLUVALLEY WARRIORS more than any other team we find FANDILS. ARDIVENT, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was BLUVALLEY WARRIORS' warrior CORBIN ROSS. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? The manager of FANDILS will not be pleased to learn that ANNA B, a
2-0-1 fighter, has been killed at the hands of WRATHMEN's BAERUS. Congratulations go
out to THE 27 CLUB, with ROBERT JOHNSON revenging a bloodfeud against TRIA SKATHACH
of BLUVALLEY WARRIORS. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of
their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARDIVENT and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the
Scribe

like everyone else, they ain't all good days. -- Leroy
