DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Defeated the Veteran Mercenary, and here I am back on top, with a "column," or
at least a few lines, to do. Some days I have to wonder why this arena is still
open.

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TRICORUS games. KALLIE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested GALBEI and was awarded 9 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KALLIE put down GALBEI,
causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Although KUNG FU MASTER
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious MARGALH.
No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position
using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TRICORUS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. DARK HORSEMEN 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 DARK HORSEMEN. Indeed it was AMAZON ELITE.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! GALBEI must hold silent, for this week he was
humbled in the arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by KALLIE of AMAZON ELITE. Hail
KALLIE for thy victory! 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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TRICORUS. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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

Well, that was a bummer. Lost the match to the Venomous Concubine, and the title
with it! -- Galbei
P.S. Of course, I had a lot of fun....
Neala -- Have you ever noticed how remarkable it is that a gladiator can learn five
useful skills while getting beaten to a bloody pulp in the course of just over one
minute? What other profession can show such learning power? We must be amazing,
yes? -- Aillendei
Shogun -- What good does it do to show me your "gun" when I've got a sword and hot
pastrami on rye waiting for me? -- Kurbald the not very patient

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
