DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, another Independence Day has come and gone. Shouldn't there be a "Dueling
Day?" Perhaps on Marchtober 86th? Anyway, another turn has come and gone with your
glorious Duelmaster at the helm. The B.C. did just fine this week, but we've ended
our 5 free games streak at two consecutive turns; not bad, I'd say! See you on the
sands.... -- THE BLACK CLANSMAN
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to TRICORUS once again! What's with GARANH? He actually beat
TRICORUS' MORDANT DESERTER, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at BLACK CONVENTICLE while they watched DARK RIVER clobber MARSKOL.
He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. AILLENDEI was
reminded on the sands why BLACK CLANSMAN is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
TRICORUS thinks AMAZON ELITE and their 146-120-11 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 146-120-11 would scare me off! What's
the problem, BLACK CONVENTICLE?
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. TRICORUS
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
"seems that Raising R'Lyeh has ducked out again, for they quake with fear in my
wake!" Snore.... -- Reaper
Olympia -- "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a
slave." "It seems you feel our work is not a benefit to the public." -- Bladerunner
The Jonah -- Sigh...the losses.... -- Fear Of The Dark
AILLENDEI -- Glad to take the DM column weight off your hands! Sorry about that
skill, but my mgr. tells me to save them all for myself, to speed me on my way to
graduation. -- THE BLACK CLANSMAN
GALBEI -- I am indeed most thankful for that parting gift! Take care of yourself in
them hills, and don't hunt anything I wouldn't! What sort of game are you after?
Perhaps try hunting some black bear, black panther or other suitably dark fauna? But
not black rhinos: they're endangered.... -- THE DARK SWEET TREAT
KURBALD -- Actually, I did try "lightening up" once, when I removed my shroud, but as
it's my only article of clothing, the Friendly Constable quickly put me to rights....
-- THE SHROUD OF GLOOM, feeling a touch drafty
MARSKOL -- I'm not sure if it was the "malevolent underthrusting" or the "full
extensions," but that exorcism sounds just fine to me. It would be relatively easy,
too: just write "MA" for your next weapon choice! -- DARK RIVER
DRACUL TEPES -- Haha! My patriotism will see me through to win the day! -- DARK
RIVER
FEAR OF THE DARK -- That was a heck of a weapon choice and a pretty good job using
it, too. -- THE JONAH
VETERAN MERCENARY -- How is it that, with my record, I end up losing to an NPC? --
THE DARK SWEET TREAT
VENEMOUS CONCUBINE -- Now THERE was a bit of that insidiousness that was sorely
lacking in your recent bout with my dark, sweet comrade. I'm lucky to have gotten
away with that one! -- THE SHROUD OF GLOOM
Black Clansman -- No, no, YOU must be Duelmaster. I insist! You are much better
suited to the role. -- Aillendei
Endless Watch -- Listen, you didn't have to tell everyone in the Infirmary that you
lost because my talking put you to sleep! I'll have you know that I've received
AWARDS for my skill as a teller of tales! You fell asleep by your own efforts.
Maybe if you'd remembered to go to bed the night before the fight things wouldn've
gone differently. -- Kurbald
Bladerunner -- That's dangerous, running with blades. As bad as running with
scissors. Which is why *I* never do it. *I* am a good boy, and I did NOT deserve to
be buried in the sand. -- Marskol
P.S. And if you believe that, there's this bridge I could sell you....
I'm a GOLEM? No way! My mother wouldn't DO that to me. I demand a recount! --
Garanh
Qamra -- Er...I was really taken aback to see myself listed as a golem, so I didn't
give the fight my proper attention? -- Garanh the Distracted
Black Clansman -- Yeah, I've heard of stuff like that. Or losing to a standby and
ending up with the title. Does that ever get the standbys steamed! -- Galbei
Endless Watch -- (after a furtive look around) All managers are. -- Marskol
Dracul Tepec -- No! Really? You invented the shish-kebab? Let me shake your hand!
I love a meal that comes with a handle and can be used as a weapon in a bar fight
besides. You don't get that kind of utility every day. -- Kurbald
Shroud of Gloom -- You think right NOW you've won, but just wait till the venom
creeps through your veins.... -- Lilianima, Venomous Concubine
Dark Sweet Treat -- It's true that I'm handicapped by the fine print in my contract
(probably a spell in there), but that doesn't mean you can fall asleep on the job. --
Borego Longshanks, Veteran Mercenary
