DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Another crown. Just what I wanted! Someone had to give Bob Le Canadien a grand
sendoff and rumor has it, he is still grinning from our recent tussle. That guy had
the biggest...well, I shall not go there. Good luck in the Big Time, Bob. My
sisters Whacking Willow and Ravishing Redbud await you in Crysalis. They know how to
please!
Well, it is tournament time in the land of gladiators. The big Mailer. I'm not
so sure any of us Flower Girls will be there (Well, Ravishing Redbud, mentioned above
will be competing in the ADM class.) but you can be sure we will be represented in
some way at the Tempe Face in January. All us gals do a thriving business at The
Faces--if you know what I mean. (wink)
Who will be the next Duelmaster? Only time will tell. One thing I know. They
will have to lick me first. (giggle)
Insolent Iris
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 FLOWER GIRLS was
unseated this week as FIRE INC. moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
4-1-0 record for the round. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which FIRE INC.
managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers!
AESCHYLUS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested POLITE BEGGAR and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's
more notable duels, LEONIDAS put down SMOLDER, causing him to lose 9 points of
recognition in the process. As is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the
challenge boards this week was none other than Duelmaster INSOLENT IRIS herself.
Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster INSOLENT IRIS challenged SUE
SOON last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. Not for nothing has
INSOLENT IRIS 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! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in FRATSFA these days is SITTEES. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid
them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding SITTEES. Indeed it was FLOWER GIRLS.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? This week marked the last days of ANXIOUS AZALEA who at 9-7-1 was
dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of FLOWER GIRLS' demanding management.
The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This
past week WRONG HAND HAMMER, at 4-5-0, departed FRATSFA forever. Dark alleys may
hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.
Keep vigil always!
The girls are as pretty in FRATSFA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Pas de Quartier -- I missed you and that big weapon of yours, Hon. (wink) Welcome
back to mama! -- Painful Pansy
Fire Wall -- You were hot, and that is just the way I like 'em. It was steamy, but
thanks for letting me finish on top. (giggle) -- Outcast Orchid
Oak Lee -- We must try that again; it was so much fun. Come and visit me at The
Flower Shoppe, and bring that big long stem. (wink) -- Sizzling Sunflower
Bryron -- That big weapon of yours was more than I could handle, but I LOVED it! --
Anxious Azalea
Pas de Quartier -- I can't wait! Hurry. Don't let Peony have all the fun! (wink)
-- Sizzling Sunflower
Hammer -- Your Aardvarks simply have to stick around to keep their long noses in all
the ant business. You CAN'T go! I shall cry. -- Lady Fern
All -- It is with great sadness that I report that Anxious Azalea has decided to quit
her career as a warrior. That has very, very seldom happened in Flower Girl history.
She wasn't exactly "made" for this arena stuff in the first place, starting 17-6-10-
7-21-16-7 and hosed in damage and parry. Even the workouts and buffing to 19-7-10-9-
21-18-8 did little to make her more cheerful. She made the most of her abilities
going 9-7-1 before facing it off with the nightmares of The Dark Arena. I shall miss
her. -- Lady Fern
We too are kinda anxious about the Quest! -- Le Pentarque and his (pathetic) guys
I keep trying that plucking thing, but the roots are thick: would I need more
preliminaries? -- Pas de Quartier, wondering
Thanks for this splendid time, lovely Iris.... I will keep a warm blanket for you in
Talahya! -- Bob le Canadien
