                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Okay.  So Snuffy beats Tria Skathatch for the title.  His 4th Title.  See.  No
big dealie.  He needs to graduate.  But he needs more skills, see?  So he has to keep
trying.  Seems right.
      What is hard to get for me is that there could be two Sadies on the Fandils?
Old Sadie and New Sadie?  Sadie-Who-TVd-Dead-Adepts and Plain-No-Tourney-Sadie?
Sadie 4405 and Sadie 4062?  But why should I care.  This is Snuffy's DM Column, not
mine.
     So have at 'em; all of 'em--Snuffy and Sadie and Sadie.  And a partridge in a
pear tree.
                  The Fandils Publicist ( For Snuffy, DMIV)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ARDIVENT this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, SADIE fought BLIND OWL and 
gained 18 points and contributed to FANDILS' 3-1-0.  LUIZA KLU has lost to THE 
GRATEFUL FRED, falling 10 points, while helping make BLUVALLEY WARRIORS a 1-4-0 turn. 
Defending his title for another turn, SNUFFY kept BLUVALLEY WARRIORS' warrior, 
FINGERS BROOKE, from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I 
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Seaside Manor until 
they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the BLUVALLEY WARRIORS stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on ARDIVENT, what are you afraid of?  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 
THE FRED ZONE's warrior THE GRATEFUL FRED.  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?  Whatever bright future SADIE II may have had, it's all history now.  
The manager of FANDILS has lost a promising 4-2-0 warrior.  Is it really true that 
ARDIVENT has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, ARDIVENT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  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

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  The Red Sands Await us all. -- WOF

Sykes -- Yeah, it's okay as a NAME, but how'd you like to be wearing my socks? --
Rocksock Jones

We salute the tourney participants, with a special nod to Ooo Ooo Ooo, Janis Joblin,
and Sadie, tourney victors. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley Warriors

Snuffy -- Whew, that was close!  A little more oomph on my part, a little less on
yours, and *I* would have to write the column. -- Tria Skathach, knowing a close
escape when she has one
P.S.  Actually, though I am not married, I prefer to wife my stamina.

Robert Johnson -- Urg, I got the idea, don't ask me how, that there were something
like twenty-seven of you out there! -- Fingers Brooke

Blind Owl -- Maybe if you had a seeing-eye dog? -- Luiza Klu
P.S.  But you probably wouldn't be allowed to bring it into the arena.

The Greatful Fred -- I really wanted to sock you one, but that's an unfavored weapon
for me.  Damn. -- Rocksock Jones

Janis Joblin -- Like I could beat a tourney victor?  As if! -- Hereford Jones
