DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Going into last turn, Word on The Street was that he couldn't go to ADM. Let's see,
the standard checklist for graduating from an arena to go on to ADM:
20 Fights -- Check, 22-5 record covers that.
14 Wins -- Check, 22 of them in fact
17 Political Points -- Check, 8 turns as Duelmaster, 5 more turns as a
Challenger Champion = 50 Political Points
1 AdEx Rating and 1 Expert Rating -- Oops. AdEx Parry, but no other rating.
So thanks to Janice Kole for giving word his 2nd rating (expert in Defence) after
learning his 16th Defence Skill. Now he can challenge the Dark Arena and be out of
here.
For those that care, the commission says, 11(1)-15(1)-15-8(1)-20(1)-9-11(1) Total
Parry, 22-6, AdEx Parry (mode), Expert Defence (+2) (on 53 skills learned and burned),
and the boss noting a hosing of -2 or worse in Riposte. Rhythm is VL/LO, with the
Broadsword and Parry Tactic, while learning defence skills. Not to often one gets
invited to ADM on a turn where they don't cross a # of fight threshold and don't pick
up any political points. And even scarier, apparently Word may get the chance to
fight in ADM.

Duelmaster of Snowbound
On Behalf of Word On The Street
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in SNOWBOUND this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as PANDEMONIUM is pushed out of top team by OPEN SESAME, who came from
2nd with a 1-3-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for PANDEMONIUM, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 7 into 8th.
SIGMA NU'S stable has parlayed this turn's 2-3-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.
This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The BOOK OF THOMAS guild has had
a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this
kind of thing can lead. And let's see, RANGER fought JACK DEATH and gained 20 points
and contributed to BOOK OF THOMAS' 4-1-0. RIPLEY has lost to ISLAND ROOSTER, falling
9 points, while helping make BOOK OF THOMAS a 4-1-0 turn. We should ask AZAER about
the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now
the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources
that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the PANDEMONIUM
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on SNOWBOUND, what are you afraid
of? And avoiding PANDEMONIUM more than any other team we find OPEN SESAME.
SNOWBOUND, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans,
take notice that JACK DEATH from SIGMA NU'S was SNOWBOUND's most challenged warrior
this turn.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? You gotta do what you gotta do. OPEN SESAME has sent WORD ON THE
STREET to the Dark Arena. The deed is done. Lift the ale, and toast the memory.
OPEN SESAME has some questions to answer. Like 'why did you kill your fighter, WORD
ON THE STREET, who had a record of 22-6-0?' We'd like to remind certain teams not to
rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, SNOWBOUND, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in SNOWBOUND 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
