DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Well, it's good to be the top dog in this town again! First of all I have to apologize for not writing a column last month. Stormlord, I and the rest of our crew were recovering from our Grand Tournament hangover traveling halfway across Alastari. Couldn't make it into the Commission on time to address our fine city properly. But glad to get another chance to be your Duelmaster again, and finally give a small going away speech. For it turns out that I finally got my invite to the Isle! It was a great ride, full of twists and turns. This was a great arena to compete in and be a part of. Hopefully my young stablemates can pick up the torch and help carry Team LOL to victory in the next Turf War. As for my last challenge, since we couldn't rename the Dark Arena monsters, I decided to face one instead and test my mettle in the night fights! I think Stormy wants to say a few words now, but I bid all of you farewell! Your Duelmaster, Eureka Pride For all of you who might be interested, Eureka Pride was part of my original team that I had initially put into North Fork. At the time on paper, I thought he was my third best warrior on the team. Believe it or not I thought Juneau Dawning was the fourth best. My two best warriors on that original stable, or so I thought, died early on and so wasn't sure about the remnants of my squad. But it turned out that along with Juneau, Eureka was the anchor of my Turf War team here. I guess stats on paper don't mean as much as knack out on the sands. As I promised Gentleben, Eureka Pride's stats are: 11(+2)-14(+1)-9-17-15-4-17. He is leaving here with 4 Masters and an Exp. His faves turned out to be Mod/Mod, favors the Scimitar, learns Riposte and likes the Dodge Tactic. Not bad faves, so will get to fight again in ADM. -- Stormlord SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly NORTH FORK games. Former top team ROYAL FLUSH was unseated this week as LAND OF OZ moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-0 record for the round. GLORY DISCIPLES bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 25th position as the result of going 0-5-0! Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week FAST FOOD went 2-1-1 to move up 8 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 3-1-1 record which OTTODROME TW managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! WILHELM SCREAM caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested KATIE and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PARTY TRAP put down YUKON QUEST, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on FRENCH FRYER as he bore arms against the Dark Arena Challenge of reigning Duelmaster EUREKA PRIDE. Not for nothing has EUREKA PRIDE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city NORTH FORK. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in NORTH FORK these days is ROYAL FLUSH. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding ROYAL FLUSH. Indeed it was OBSIDIAN ORDER. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. LUGH THE LONGARM take warning! You have more than a few enemies in NORTH FORK. WRATH must really be harboring a grudge against the GLORY DISCIPLES guild! Merciless, 17 challenged down MARCUS points this week to duel with he. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as MARCUS was dealt death by WRATH. Is this what passes for courage in NORTH FORK? I cannot but express pride for the fearlessness of MORGAN LEFEY who cast caution to the winds and challenged SEWARD FOLLY, a fighter 28 points higher. Do not the gods reward courage? MORGAN LEFEY it was that claimed victory in the bout, while also rising 20 points in recognition. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that DILECTONON FERIO posted a challenge against the more highly recognized GENCON. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand DILECTONON FERIO was bested by GENCON. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? EUREKA PRIDE has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of his recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom. DONETO has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena victory! I must report the passing of MARCUS, veteran of many duels. 6-6-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in NORTH FORK as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GIZMO 6941 13 10 1 124 DARQUE FORCES (396) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PARTY TRAP 5496 20 19 1 113 PALINDROMES (599) BIG MAC 7120 13 5 0 110 FAST FOOD (724) WILHELM SCREAM 7162 11 3 0 103 OTTODROME TW (728) MICE CREAM 6265 13 4 1 101 MYSTIC ORC FEAST (416) QUEEN OF TARTS 5980 11 9 0 99 MYSTIC ORC FEAST (416) -MANDORALLEN 7179 18 16 1 96 PAWN OF PROPHECY (730) SALAD SLAYER 7334 10 6 1 94 VEGAN CANNIBALS (733) ENDEMIC 7265 21 15 0 93 BLACK LIGHTNING (738) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME YUKON QUEST 7157 11 6 0 89 ALASKAN PIPELINE (714) HUMMUS HAWK 7333 9 7 1 89 VEGAN CANNIBALS (733) BROOMSTICK 7057 13 10 1 88 LAND OF OZ (217) ARTICHOKE ON THIS! 7226 11 5 1 88 VEGAN CANNIBALS (733) -SCOMSSS'S NIGHTMARE 6934 12 1 0 86 THE OPERA (613) RAVAGE 7061 10 12 2 82 OBSIDIAN ORDER (715) -MR.

Do North Fork proud. -- Crip, mgr of Royal Flush Death to all couriers and lawyers!! Two months ago my warriors were slated to join the lists, but due to a teency tiny technical error, the petition was returned. Victory surely would have been mine but for the lawyers who then proclaimed the forms late and invalid. Perhaps we should hold a special tourney? Gladiators vs lawyers anyone?! -- Vae Victus, In Qeternum Xander -- Perhaps you should protect your head a bit more. -- Canum Eureka Pride -- Thanks for the challenge. I gladly take it for a chance at the throne! Just need to survive the next two weeks to join you on the Isle of the Eye! Congrats. -- Party Trap Tenth Inning -- I have no patience to wait so long. Catch me earlier and I'll be much more accommodating. But to expect me to be nice after 9 innings is just too much! -- Boob Looks like the top ranks are clearing out in advance of the next Turf War. Should be very interesting if the graduations continue!
