DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Cargo! What were you THINKING, boy? You don't parry with your head. Ever. OR
your neck. Really, I am surprised. You come out all prepared, and I just blow right
through it. I'm not unusually strong, so you must have glass armor. Pretty, but not
practical. Did you buy it from the Userous Merchant? If so, don't. He's
unreliable.
Shalaitha
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, TRICORUS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, DARK HORSEMEN, since RAISING
R'LYEH took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see SHOGGOTH win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, SHOGGOTH beat GOB and GOB lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like
TRICORUS has some guts at least, SHALAITHA the Duelmaster was this turn's
most-challenged warrior. UP FROM THE SEA challenged TRICORUS' Duelmaster for a shot
at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as UP FROM THE SEA takes
the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Silver
Chalice, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff?
From TRICORUS' trash dumps?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? DARK HORSEMEN was the most avoided
team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like
RAISING R'LYEH avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if
you ask me. Hmph.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in TRICORUS to get a drink than The Silver
Chalice! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you
have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Shalaitha -- Got any more tips for me? -- Cargo
Up From the Sea -- Ah... how much farther up do you intend to go? High altitudes are
chilly, you know, and you could get frostbite on your tentacles. -- Teresai
Nyarlathotep -- But what if I don't want to raise R'lyeh? -- Saarveghal
Everyone Burns -- Not until we get the temperature up to melting. -- Mahaghal
Of Sea and Wind -- Well, I suppose we could've fought more Sea Dogs, but we really do
need some variety in here. Preferably variety that can lose with enthusiasm, but I'd
settle for whatever we could get. -- Barochdal
