DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
We meet again! How does it feel down there? Just kidding. Well, a rather slow turn
here in Tricorus...seems that Raising R'Lyeh has ducked out again, for they quake
with fear in my wake! Congrats are in order for Galbei, having graduated after last
turn! Drinks are in order! Hey, can my mgr. trade in his free fights for shots?
Bah, just a joke, he'll take the money any day (he needs it!).
Once again, we see lots of B.C. in the honors section, keep 'em coming, boys! Feels
good to be in the black!
there are scattered boos and hisses for,
Black Clansman
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for FUBAR, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing PHAEDRA like
a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
DARK SWEET TREAT, who dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout
with VETERAN MERCENARY. Well, everybody's pal BLACK CLANSMAN moved his record to
11-8-0 by defeating AILLENDEI in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 7
recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad BLACK CONVENTICLE? Big bad
BLACK CONVENTICLE. Big bad BLACK CONVENTICLE. TRICORUS' afraid of the big bad BLACK
CONVENTICLE. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause AMAZON ELITE beats feet every time BLACK CONVENTICLE smiles at
them. Try farming, eh?
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the TRICORUS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
GALBEI -- Well done, now I got the retirement joke in your last ad. I remember once
awhile back, in another arena, I'd fought someone who graduated, but I didn't know he
was up for graduation. Well, he done beat my sorry hide, but I ended up as DM!
Weirdest thing! -- THE BLACK CONVENTICLE
NOVGORODNY VIR -- Nice spy report last turn. What the heck is an "oppenent" and just
how does it roar?
It's a kind of shellfish, and it blows bubbles.
Marskol -- My boss is a miserible SOB...As you know... -- Endless Watch
Kurbald -- What is your point? Slightly confused... I am the original impaler. --
Dracul Tepes
Olympia -- Come out and play I have something for you.... -- Bladerunner
"The time for the fight has come." Well, of course, or we wouldn't BE here. Where
do they get these "lead-in sentences"? -- Allendei
Black Clansman -- Well done! I deeply appreciate not having to write a column. And
not being killed, also. Good all around, though more than one skill would have been
okay with me. -- Aillendei
Dark Sweet Treat -- Take the skills as a departing gift from me, sword-brother. Fare
you well. -- Galbei
P.S. Of course I know I made a career error in chosing the arena a year and a half
ago! But it doesn't matter now, because I'm changing jobs. There's a guy I've met
who's setting up a fishing lodge over in Lirith Kai on the shore of the Trier, and he
invited me to handle a hunting concession in the adjoining hills. I'm going to look
it over first, but I'm also probably going to agree. Sounds like an easy life after
the arena.
Shroud of Gloom -- Gods, that would be an awful life, never allowed to lighten up.
I'm glad it isn't MY life. -- Kurbald, just as sunny and cheerful as though I had
good sense
Dark River -- Whoa! I'd better have that spear exorcised! That malevolent
underthrusting can be dangerous, and is probably inspired by some sort of evil
possession. Demons or something. -- Marskol
P.S. Or at least an evil spell.
Dark River -- In scorn, probably. But I've been told that elves are scornful of all
things human, and you being a halfelf must find it all very confusing. -- Aillendei
Dark Sweet Treat -- Right, and mouthwash with chlorox. -- Aillendei
Dark River -- Oh, well. Your loss. -- Kurbald
P.S. Actually, my name derives from "bold heart," not from "hairless mutt."
The Jonah -- (with gloomy agreement) Yeah. But it's in the contract. -- Baruk the
Lame, Determined Beggar
Dark Sweet Treat -- And how do you know I haven't? I can be insidious at need. --
Lilianima, Venomous Concubine
