DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It was a valiant effort, Dark Sweet Treat, and I salute you for making it. But
the weight of experience (and no, I will NOT go on a diet!) was too much for you. I
guess. Don't know what else it could have been.
Aillendei
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
TRICORUS. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! We
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. RAISING R'LYEH now holds
the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey everybody, watch out for
ENDLESS WATCH, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing KURBALD like a
melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
KURBALD, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with
ENDLESS WATCH. Well, everybody's pal AILLENDEI moved hers record to 22-19-0 by
defeating JACINTHE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 12 recognition points.
4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that
location.
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid DARK HORSEMEN, please raise you hand. Wow. Does TRICORUS really have that
many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch RAISING R'LYEH's act in the
arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from DARK HORSEMEN.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in TRICORUS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Black Clansman -- Aillendei, at least, was glad you won that fight. She was worried
that you were sick or something. I kind of wish you were. -- Kurbald
Olympia -- Savor the skills, you'll need 'em later. -- Marskol
Fear of the Dark -- That's practically an insult! -- Garanh
Dark River -- The fans have no taste. -- Marskol
Dark Sweet Treat -- I've heard of some people making "sweet bean cakes." Don't do
that. Go for chocolate. Chocolate's a winner. Beans, bleh. -- Galbei
Dark Sweet Treat -- Were it possible for a woman to be inducted to the Chardinee
Society, I am sure one would be snared by your sweet darkness, sir. -- M. Kastensol

P.S. But why insist on the alternate gender? One understands that elves and half
elves are...flexible that way.
