Jubhal handed around the hot toddies and took a seat at the table with the rest
of his teammates. "We could talk about the weather," he suggested.
Marganad groaned theatrically. "Let's don't talk about it. Bad enough having
to live with it."
"We have to do something," Galdor said. He looked at his teammates resentfully.
"It's your fault, too. Jorja said if we made Top Team, we had to 'celebrate' by
doing a short spot. A spit? If more of you had lost your fights, we wouldn't be Top
Team."
"This is true," Jubhal agreed, "but if we'd lost our fights, we might be dead."
"Wouldn't have to do a spotlight then," Galdor said.
"We going to have to do an adventure?" Mahaghal asked, having worked through the
idea to that point.
Jubhal frowned, going over the new 'directive' in his memory. "Nothing was said
about an adventure. I hear one team just sat and whined for a while, and she got
ticked off and smacked them around."
"So, no whining. Too bad." Mahaghal sighed. "I could've done a good whine
about not graduating."
"Well, don't," Jubhal answered.. "Speaking of graduating, how about if we throw
a party for Grapefruit?"
"I've got a good recipe for brandy-soaked grapefruit!" Galdor said,
straigtening. "We could do this!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What do you suppose it was, Grapefruit? The ratings? Regardless, I'm glad to
have been of assistance, and with a little luck, I may follow soon.
Jubhal
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in TRICORUS since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! DARK HORSEMEN were
a bunch of dogs after AMAZON ELITE got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!
Hmmmph! I always thought RAISING R'LYEH was an over-rated team and they proved it
with a 0-0-0! It seems so recently people were saying AMAZON ELITE was washed up,
finished. But 4-0-0 moved them up 1. I guess they're washed no more... What's with
GALDOR O'HARE? He actually beat QUESTIONS' YES?, and walked away with 16 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at DARK HORSEMEN while they watched GALDOR O'HARE
clobber YES?. He lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
I'm sure TRICORUS is excited about GRAPEFRUIT, the new Duelmaster from FRUITS.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have
live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, DEATH CULT! In my day, no team with a 52-54-5 would scare me off! What's
the problem, AMAZON ELITE?
Warriors of TRICORUS unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
All -- I am getting together as many Duelmaster players as possible to play in a game
of Hyborian War as a change of pace. We already have 17 players that are interested
and we are trying to get as many as possible involved before I submit the list to
RSI. I am collecting the names and top 3 kingdoms that the players are interested in
and submitting it myself so we can all play in the same game. If you are interested
PM me in the DuelII Forums at Tripwire or email me at azaer123@comcast.net. --
Tripwire
Grapefruit graduates 4(1)-14-10-15-15-12-15 B, norm end, good dmg. Skills:
15(-4)/9/20(-2)/17/9(+2-4)/20. Faves: MO/VL GS, learns parry. An experience I don't
think I'll try and repeat. But I'm more than a little pleased! Giddy might be an
apt description. -- Assur
Farewell for now, Tricorus. -- Assur
Jubhal -- Thanks for making me look good. The commission kept my ranking high and
now I'm immortal! The loss becomes inconsequential. -- Grapefruit
Answer of the week -- Goodbye doesn't mean forever.
Am I supposed to be sorry for the Veteran Mercenary, or something? As if! --
Mahaghal
Who -- How should I know? He was wearing a mask! -- Galdor O'Hare
What -- Secret recipe. I'm not going to tell you. -- Kamildsa
Yolanda -- Yeah, nobody likes the hospitals. But listen, I really go for the way you
filled out that chainmail bikini. Maybe we could get together outside the arena? --
Marganad
Assur -- Maybe, but maybe not. Jorja says it's never been totally clear to her. Of
course, she doesn't pay attention half the time. But still, she says she's had
gladiators hang on longer than fifty fights even after the anti-sandbagger ruling
went into action. Annoying! As for my quality, I'm dumb and otherwise seriously
ordinary. -- Mahaghal
Answer of the week: It was an air switch. But don't ask me what an air switch does
on the furnace.
Our heartfelt congratulations to Grapefruit. -- Jorja and the Dark Horsemen
And we salute the tourney participants, especially that impressive serpent in the
rookies. Not someone we want to meet in a dark alley. -- Jorja and the Dark Horsemen
