DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I have this feeling we've done this before, Neala, and sometimes it's gone one
way, sometimes the other. Small arena syndrome at it's, ah, syndromiest. But it'll
give you a chance to have your hair done, get a new dress, that kind of thing, before
you take the title back and have to make a speech again.

SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt TRICORUS will ever be the same. And let's see, OLYMPIA fought FEAR OF THE
DARK and gained 9 points and contributed to AMAZON ELITE's 3-2-0. DARK SWEET TREAT
has lost to AMBITIOUS GUARD, falling 8 points, while helping make BLACK CONVENTICLE a
2-3-0 turn. And not without some honor, NEALA now claims the title and throne of
Duelmaster of TRICORUS. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Blue Dolphin Inn?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the DARK HORSEMEN
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on TRICORUS, what are you afraid
of? And avoiding DARK HORSEMEN more than any other team we find AMAZON ELITE.
TRICORUS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
I can't seem to locate the turn lying around here, so we're doing personals from the
on-line newsletter. -- Nick, Dark Horsemen
M. Chardinee. (sigh) Well, it makes a change. -- Aillendei
Black Clansman -- There you go! Good work. -- Kurbald
Fear of the Dark -- Darn, you found out my secret! -- Marskol
Amazon Elite -- Yeah, we know it's just Small Arena Syndrome, but sometimes we feel
like complaining anyway. -- Dark Horsemen
Black Clansmen -- (innocent look) Who, me? Surely not! -- Aillendei
Dark River -- Well, we're not avoiding, so sooner or later a challenge will have to
go through... won't it? -- Kurbald
Dark Sweet Treet -- Ah? Okay. But I still liked my image of you as a purveyor of
really rich, really dark fudge.... -- Marskol
Black Conventicle -- Well... um, keep talking? Keep challenging? Even if it falls
outside the offical four turns, I'll be here, and WE can count it even if the
Commission doesn't. -- Kurbald
P.S. I don't know, I just find the Ambitious Guard intimidating, I guess. Or
something. Probably the "or something." I'll think about it and let you know what
next time.
Aillendei -- And if you believe that "handily," I have a bridge to sell you. -- M.
Kastensol Chardinee
Dark Sweet Treat -- I love sweets! (smacks lips) Very tasty. -- Korbut Valzko,
Nominally "Captured" Orc
Shroud of Gloom and Dark River -- A little less savagery and devastation would be
good. You could still win, but you don't HAVE to be so nasty about it. -- Terroldo,
Ambitious Guard
The Jonah -- My masters in the Cult will turn your evil sending back upon you. --
Malonish Tros, Cult Member
Bladerunner -- It was a bum rap! I don't know anything about the swag from Lorca's
Place, honest! -- Vito One-Eye, Unfairly Convicted Thief
Dracul Tepes -- Your questions were unreasonable. It is not my nature to know such
things. -- CPS 3, Certified Public Scribe
Black Clansman -- Sorry, but my contract requires that I make the fight "look real."
That means getting up again. -- Terroldo, Ambitious Guard
