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.
