DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Listen, Nyarlathotep, while *I* am duelmaster, we won't have any of that
"crawling chaos" here. It reminds me of when my much younger twin brothers were
infants. Talk about crawling chaos! It was enough to last me a lifetime.
Saarveghal
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in TRICORUS! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for GALDOR O'HARE?
DARK HORSEMEN's proud of him after beating WHEN and getting 12 points. Talk about
yer major upsets! WHY's match with CAPTURED ORC cost her a loss of 8 points! Don't
you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think SAARVEGHAL should let VETERAN
MERCENARY be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team
insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for
PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. RAISING R'LYEH was TRICORUS' most avoided team. Is there some
award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are FRUITS? RAISING R'LYEH, an easy
team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All TRICORUS ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. I'm always kinda bummed when a decent warrior gets killed.
HOW, of QUESTIONS had a 9-3-0 when she got bumped off by AMBITIOUS GUARD. Fight,
fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Y'ha-nthlei -- Gods, to think that I could and SHOULD have been in a sane place like
Kyr'Terr! The life of a gladiator is hard and filled with injustice and things that
shouldn't be either seen or heard from. -- Galdor O'Hare
Hmm, I met with a Venomous Concubine... and I was surprised to see that she was not
involved in the attempt to raise R'lyeh. She probably should be. -- Barochdal
The Veteran Mercenary seems to be having an off day. Works for me. -- Mahaghal
Habu -- Ah, well, if I had serpents to hold, I'd probably want a golem for the job,
too. You can hold mine. -- Jubhal
Grapefruit -- I think it's just bias in clerkish places. -- Saarveghal
P.S. Against both of us.
Answer of the week: Next right, go two blocks, then left.
Answer of the week from Fruits (actually, this is NOT an answer, but one team thought
it was last year and I'm sure another team will believe so again this year):
Shaquille O'Neal
Saarveghal -- Looks like the commission says you aren't talented enough. You now
have everything required for graduation and immortality and now the commission is
holding you back because of skills. I have a similar problem in Illis. Hard to
argue with that, though. Sheila is granting a lot to our warriors, so I suppose she
should get some say in what the requirements are. But you have little to prove here
in Tricorus. -- Assur
