DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Another turn, another Open Sesame on the throne. But this time, I'm going to be
forced into retirement. Why you say? Well, the fact that I'm 11 pts short of
being well suited to my favourite weapon is a leading contributor. How can one be 11
points short on a single stat? Very difficult to do, but those with a starting
deftness of 4 who prefer the Epee do fit that bill.
As I go off into retirement in Home Guard, I'll share my fabulous stats. Started out
10-11-9-16-20-14-4. raised evey stat once, and learned 60 skills above and beyond
those burnt ones. That leave me with a Master in Init, AdEx's in Attack and Riposte,
and Experts in Defence and Decise. Rhythm is High-High, and my most common learn of
riposte also happens to be my favourite.
Catch you later, alligators.
Harry Monster
Open Sesame
Duelmaster of Snowbound
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! DREAMS OF KADATH posted a nice gain, to come in 3rd. Everybody loves a
winner... LIFE IMPACTS had cause to celebrate, after CANTEX got 21 points by beating
EVALON ELKHORN. EVALON ELKHORN certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after
losing to CANTEX and losing 18 points in the process! Duelmaster HARRY MONSTER from
OPEN SESAME is going for the gold, as he Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's STONE
GOLEM. Ooh, the excitement! The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed
the Duelmaster, HARRY MONSTER, leaving OPEN SESAME in mourning. Even 72 points
weren't good enough to save HARRY MONSTER from STREET SIGN. SNOWBOUND welcomes
STREET SIGN as the new Duelmaster! Word has it one team in SNOWBOUND is using
psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the
lion, so did the "warriors" in SNOWBOUND avoid DRUID'S GROVE. The warriors of
DRUID'S GROVE found their efforts at combat frustrated as OPEN SESAME apparently had
more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and
EVALON ELKHORN is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't DRUID'S GROVE proud!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not for whom the
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
