DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Oh my goodness <blush> I can't believe I am sitting on the almighty throne of (for
now) Floral Valley, what a trip. Thank you to the DM Gods for giving me the strength
to make it to the top of such a fine arena. My manager I'm sure is proud of my
achievement, not an easy road in this tough arena. I shall do my best to defend all
akers, I just ask, please don't fight dirty, I think that it is so disgusting.
Tonnelle, what a battle, you truly belong among the top, you were a very tough
competitor. Good luck to all!
Shy Ann
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of FRATSFA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team FIRE INC. was
unseated this week as SITTEES moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
3-2-0 record for the round. SIZZLING SUNFLOWER caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested PAS DE QUARTIER and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU MASTER put
down BOY Z, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has SHY ANN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
she's proven hers combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In FRATSFA "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! FRATSFA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is BLOOD AND GUTS!, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of SITTEES last week. Busy avoiding BLOOD AND GUTS!? Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. PAINFUL PEONY take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in FRATSFA.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in FRATSFA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! 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.--

action.... They are! -- Lady Fern

will lick your wounds. (wink)
Ack what an ugly fight, you very painful Peony...I want a rematch!! Even if the
