DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is odd that I again ascend to the throne in the absence of others. Though my
thrashing of Yes? was as thorough as it was quick, it did not have the air of a
battle of equals. And in truth, though I was victorious I was disappointed, for I
sought the blood of Y'ha-nthlei upon the barbs of my flail and the edge of my blade.
Perhaps the mortal will return to battle on the next cycle and face his fate; if not,
then others will face my abyssal fury.
Let us hope I am not defeated again by a citrus fruit with a dagger. I can
still hear the laughter of the hellborn in my ears from that loss...
-- Beast
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TRICORUS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team RAISING R'LYEH was
unseated this week as DEATH CULT moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with
a 2-3-0 record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which DARK
HORSEMEN managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw
challengers! MOUNTAIN OF STEEL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission
as he skillfully bested YES? and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the
week's more notable duels, MOUNTAIN OF STEEL put down YES?, causing him to lose 13
points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the
spotlight was on Y'HA-NTHLEI as he bore arms against the Bloodfeud of reigning
Duelmaster BEAST. Not for nothing has BEAST in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed
this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city
shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TRICORUS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. AMAZON ELITE is feared. This much I can say. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding AMAZON ELITE. Indeed it was RAISING R'LYEH. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. WHY take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in TRICORUS. GRAPEFRUIT must really be harboring a grudge against the
QUESTIONS guild! Merciless, 25 challenged down WHY points this week to duel with he.
The weight of the challenge fell hard upon WHY and predictably she was subdued by
GRAPEFRUIT. This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild! As a gladiator gets
older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of hers heart. True, NYARLATHOTEP? Who could
miss your "brave" challenge of MAHAGHAL? Surprising everyone, MAHAGHAL overcame
NYARLATHOTEP, earning 15 points of recognition in the process! A knave's just
desserts are the sweetest victory.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. This week marked the last days of
URSULAH who at 3-9-1 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of AMAZON
ELITE's demanding management. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable
with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet
again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Ryoko -- Oops. My bad, I'd feel bad about killing you... if you weren't the one to
challenge me. -- When
Wachichu -- Why does When get all the fun? -- What
Beast -- Great shot, keep fighting like that and you'll make Dualmaster one day... --
Yes?
Mahaghal -- Oooh, that stings! -- Why
Breaker Bar -- Next time buy a new Warhammer and maybe you'll win. -- Who
Galdor -- a satisfying win, but you escaped the dark altar. I don't think I'm ready
to let you off the hook just yet, though... -- Dark Priestess
Ursulah -- I like a woman that can take a relentless pounding. But you will
submit... and answer... -- Inquisitor
Marganad -- Hunting you was all too easy. -- Justicar
Vector -- None can long avoid the fury of the Cult! -- Zealot
Grapefruit freak -- Go ahead and sit in the sun until you rot into oblivion for all I
care. Boasting about your arrogance is just indicative of a total lack of character.
You are truly a sick person. -- Amazons
Jorja of Dark Horsemen -- Am certain you have me confused with someone else running
in all those other arenas you mentioned. Have no earthly idea what the heck you're
talking about. Senseless babbling will get you nowhere, but I sincerely appreciate
the inquiry. Perhaps you need to step away from that "stone wall" which makes you so
puzzled?? -- Amazons
Questions -- Am now wishing that I'll be afforded an opportunity to eliminate one of
yours in the near future. Nice shot vs. Ryoko. She had some potential, but not
much: ST 11 CN 9 SZ 9 WT 15 WL 8 SP 21 DF 11. I traditionally hate strikers, but
occasionally there's no other way to go. The Amazons will always celebrate the
passing of one of theirs from desperate combat.
Answer of the week: Send your mail early.
I'm back, smelly and mushy and overripe. -- Grapefruit
Answer of the week: Sorry, sick again, so no personals.
