DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Welcome back to the Fruits! Their lone warrior Grapefruit had a rough opening
round. Hopefully things will start looking up for you. In the meantime, perhaps you
could answer me this question: how come the grape and the grapefruit have so little
in common besides their name? They are both fruits. They are both round. But aside
from that, they are about as different from one another as two fruits can get.
Shalaitha, you once again put on a splendid show. I think we are quite evenly
matched and I'm sure I'll run into you a few more times before I leave. I see that
your teammate is in range, so perhaps I'll get some variety this turn. Or perhaps
not. I'm too lazy to issue a challenge. What do you expect from a warrior named
Cargo?
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Like a new team fighting for the first time
and entering the official rankings, QUESTIONS got 5-0-0 to come in 3rd. RAISING
R'LYEH had cause to celebrate, after OF SEA AND WIND got 19 points by beating
SHALAITHA. SHALAITHA certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing
to OF SEA AND WIND and losing 16 points in the process! Those who hoped for a new
Duelmaster were disappointed by TERESAI, of DARK HORSEMEN, who despite a 12-13-0
couldn't overcome TRICORUS' Number 1. So who's the team that's been walking into
taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like a horde of jackals fleeing from
the lion, so did the "warriors" in TRICORUS avoid SEA DOGS. The warriors of SEA DOGS
found their efforts at combat frustrated as RAISING R'LYEH apparently had more
important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, BAROCHDAL could open
up a fast food joint!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. TRICORUS, I leave you now. The
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Blue Dolphin Inn. 'Til next time--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Cargo -- Ah, you have remembered and worked on my advice. That's good. I like it
when people pay attention. -- Shalaitha
P.S. And I don't mind that you return the favor with skills. Always useful, skills.
Convicted Assassins can get insurance? The things I didn't know.... -- Barochdal
Drunken Sailor -- You didn't do so badly when you came into the arena drunk, and you
didn't do badly when you were sober. But coming in hung over is probably not a great
plan. -- Teresai
P.S. Seems like we just can't resist giving advice, doesn't it? You don't have to
listen.
Well, I have no adivce for the Fratsfa Slave. -- Mahaghal
And it's useless to give advice to the Ambitious Guard. He can't see past his
ambitions. Which, unfortunately, he doesn't have the raw talent to achieve. --
Saarveghal
Cargo -- I knew a guy once who tended to parry with his face. At least, in training,
I don't know about any fights in real life. But his face was a mess. Lumpy and
scarred. A real turn-off. -- Shalaitha
One Armed Bandit -- I don't have access to the tourney results, but it sounds like
you lost several promising gladiators. I commiserate, even as my own gladiators here
and elsewhere are just as glad not to face them again. Getting someone killed is the
pits, and it's worse when you've worked with them for months--mine don't die in
tourneys, because they don't go, but they get killed often enough. Ouch. -- Jorja
Cargo -- You can graduate any time. We're all ready for your sending-off party. --
the Dark Horsemen
9 February 10
All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
-- Fizban the Famous
