DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Okay, so now I am Duelmistress. Hah. I have not been much of a mistress for a
lot of years! But I can still teach Literature and Latin and that language called
English. I can.
Well, I want to take this column and give some kudos to Extrusion, now Lord
Protector Extrusion, who is a four-time Duelmaster himself. He became LP at 29-11-0.
He was born 12-19-13-10-17-5-8 and has a lot of what are called "bumps". Is that
sort of like acne? He has no idea as to his faves, but doesn't believe that 1/64/7
with the Broadsword qualifies. When he trained skills, which was seldom, he learned
at a 2.07 skill/turn rate. Getting his adex parry (his only rating) is probably what
got him the Lord Protectorship. He is looking forward to a grand retirement.
As to me, I just might be around for a while. My life insurance is, however,
all paid up. 33-7 isn't a bad record at all, but I just might be able to do better.
We will see.
No kudos to the crass and dangerous Ma Barker, who killed my teammate 69 Dodge
Charger. I am MAD. Now it is back to walking for me. Those Criminals WILL pay.
Come and get me. I like the company.
Mrs. Vaughn, Duelmistress
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of SNOWBOUND! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. WHISTLIN' DIXIE caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MA BARKER and was
awarded 28 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, GOBERT
HINNY put down LORRAINE BOBBITT, causing her to lose 7 points of recognition in the
process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster MRS. VAUGHN
challenged KIRLA LORVIN last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne.
Although KIRLA LORVIN made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign
of victorious MRS. VAUGHN. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in
duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In SNOWBOUND "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. CRIMINAL MINDS is feared. This much I can say.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding CRIMINAL MINDS. Indeed it was LIFE IMPACTS. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. PETRA QUORD take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in SNOWBOUND.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of MA BARKER, veteran of
many duels. 5-4-1 final record Hers was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is
sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Ma Barker -- You dangerous-like meanie, that sure did seem to be one of those
intentional kills. A challenge, some sugar in the gas tank, and one beautiful but
kaput 60 Dodge Charger. Vroom, vroom, zippo! I'd like to say it was a monumental
beauty, but it sure seemed to take a lot of shop work. After all, a 13-17-15-3-16-
12-8 TP, hosed in damage, needs a lot of paint and tunin'! But he was mine, and I
ain't too happy. -- Coach
Kirla -- What the heck, I had fun. I did. -- Extrusion
Petra -- I had to go after you. Now I may be an old hag, but I am THE hag! -- Mrs.
Vaughn
Cass Dolan -- Well, everything worked out well for me and Mrs. Vaughn, and Extrusion.
Yay! -- Hoops
Embezzling Scribe -- You should not have tried to scam me. -- 4-H
Gobert -- I LOVE ginger snaps. My favorite cookie--after Gingerbread men. (wink) --
Mrs. Vaughn
And a big hip, hip, hurrah for Petra Quord, Lord Protector. Yes! -- Coach and The
Life Impacts
Life Impacts -- We at "Criminal Minds" Mourn for '69 Dodge Charger He was one joyous
ride. -- Sir Black Guard, mgr. Criminal Minds
Somebody Please recapture that orc. -- Al Capone
The Spirit of '69 Dodge Charger -- I'll miss you. *sob sob* -- Ma Barker
Extrusion -- Still here? Where did we get the idea you'd left already? Wishful
thinking, probably. Oh, well. -- Kirla Lorvin
Hoops -- You should go work on the sports pavilion, too. -- Cass Dolan
Mrs. Vaughn -- On the whole, I'm glad to be handing off to you, especially as I see
now that I'm graduating. Not leaving, mind. Go to the Isle? I hear it gets above
freezing there just about every day! Horrible. -- Petra Quord
The Kung-Fu Master is always turning up. Tedious of him, especially given his
penchant for winning. That's quite unnecessary. -- Gobert Hinny
The Venomous Concubine was a lot of fun, but I can't say I cared much for the program
of antidote shots afterward. -- Inglemort Juls
Oh, gods, Born to Scum. Very low/very low, with a battle axe. How thrilling. --
Petra Quord
Lorraine Bobbitt -- They are? Well get them back on, then! The very idea! -- Cass
Dolan
Our congratulations to Extrusion. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
