DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Huh, looks like I offended Nyarlathotep. See if I care! The Veteran Mercenary
made a relaxing change.
Saarveghal
SPY REPORT
Good day, in TRICORUS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, HABU fought WHEN
and gained 22 points and contributed to SERPENTS HOLD 2's 2-0-1. BEAST has lost to
DRUNKEN SAILOR, falling 6 points, while helping make DEATH CULT a 1-1-0 turn. And
not without some honor, CARGO now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of
TRICORUS. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that
The Silver Chalice uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the RAISING R'LYEH
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on TRICORUS, what are you afraid
of? And guess who avoided RAISING R'LYEH stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
FRUITS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was DARK HORSEMEN's
warrior BAROCHDAL. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. The grave that SERPENTS HOLD 2 had
dug for SERPENT 4 may yet be filled with the body of ADELA RIAN. Seldom are the
likes of this to be seen. SERPENT 4 lives still! We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
I like this place, TRICORUS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in TRICORUS, but never good to wear out
my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Answer of the week from Fruits:
A bigger stick.
Want to sell -- Recognition points. I should not be a champion. Barochdal, here I
come. I fully expect you to show me what it means to have 50 fights under your belt.
But make sure you make me look really bad, so the commission knocks me out of the
champs. -- Grapefruit
Last turn was #5 in the reign of the Dark Horsemen. Can the Reaper gather the
rewards of what he has sown in Tricorus? Will One Armed Bandit come as a thief in
the night, stealing the throne back? Could a Fruit somehow overcome the odds and
sour Jorja's day? We have Questions, but until someone proves himself, The Dark
Horsemen rule over this place. -- Assur
Saarveghal says things like "the Veteran Mercenary was relaxing." Maybe for HIM, but
the Vet Merc was all stirred up when he got to me, and I really had to work for the
win. Which would've been okay if there'd been more skills involved. -- Mahaghal
M. Chardinee wanted to tell me about a dream he'd had, which would've been boring--I
could tell just with the first couple of sentences--so I mosterized him. -- Barochdal
When... the cows come home. Don't you guys know ANYTHING? -- Galdor O'Hare
Habu -- Thanking you very kindly for making this a five-oh turn for us. Let me buy
you dinner. Uh, if you golems eat? Or an oil change, whatever makes your socks roll
up and down. -- Jubhal
Assur -- (mutter grumble) -- Saarveghal
Answer of the week: Needs more salt, and maybe a little garlic.

Some managers have attempted to send personals and columns to hal, and hal has
been refusing to acknowledge their content. I don't know what hal's problem is,
specifically, but for best success, send PLAIN TEXT (dot txt) in the body of the
email. Not attachments. Thank you. -- the Editor
