DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Where to begin, where to begin? I am in the midst of celebrating my graduation
to the Isle. I should have been enjoying this celebration on the previous turn, yet
Darque failed to file the proper paper work with the Commission and we were not
allowed to fight. Luckily, I was able to get my challenge in against Zoum La Bouse
and show that my previous title was not a fluke.
My hat is off to Zoum for a well fought battle. The decision has not been made
as of this writing whom I will challenge on my final turn. The Dark Arena is an
option, but nothing is set in stone.
For the interested, I will go to the Isle at 17(2)-7(2)-10-21-20(3)-6(1)-11. I
started training stats because I had learned all the important skills long ago.
Unfortunately, or luckily depending on how you look at it, I was only +1 INI and +1
DEF. I got my invite at 13-2-2 in the arena with a 48-30-1 tourney record. I did
die at the 4-1-2 mark in my old home of Aradi. The next Dead Tournament I finished
third in Adepts and haven't looked back since. I tried my hand at the tournament
game, but I was never able to repeat my great success from that Dead Tournament
(Darque says my fighting style is a great hindrance to greatness).
The Commission says that I like HI/VL, along with the Bash tactic and ME. I
like to learn Attack skills, which came as no surprise. I'm off to 101 for
retirement or until Darque sees a need for me in ADM.
May You Have Glory on the Sands!
Your Duelmaster,
Anastasius
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of FRATSFA! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. WORMER caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SUN QIAN and was awarded 14 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HATEFUL HASTA put down DARGON,
causing it to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the
fights this week, the spotlight was on ZOUM LA BOUSE as he bore arms against the
challenge of reigning Duelmaster ANASTASIUS. Not for nothing has ANASTASIUS in the
past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his 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 WAH CHING. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find
any of DARQUE AGES last week. Busy avoiding WAH CHING? Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after ZOUM
LA BOUSE. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this
week, it seems that VELVET ROSE posted a challenge against the more highly recognized
SALINA REES. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand VELVET ROSE was bested by
SALINA REES. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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 next we
meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by
the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Congrats to Anastasius, a brilliantly sandbagged beauty for claiming not only the DM
Throne, but Lord Protectorship. Well done, Master Darque. Bring her over for a
final fling at The Flower Shoppe on her way to The Isle. -- Lady Fern
Bombatta -- Too much for me, you were. I did my best, but it was you on top at the
finish. Wanna try it again in my room at The Flower Shoppe? I have some neat
weapons there, Hon. -- Lashing Lily
Salina Rees -- We are like that Energizer Bunny; we can go and go and go. I have
sooooooo much fun with you. What would I do without you? -- Caustic Crocus
Jasmin -- Girls just wanna have fun and we did. I just had the most! -- Gloating
Gardenia
L.P. -- Oz The Magnificent asked me to relay you a message, since he knew you would
be stopping in often at The Flower Shoppe. Herewith: "That Master Darque and clan
are embarassing us in North Fork, so pull out all stops to create a scenario of
devastation for his and related stables. The Winged Monkeys are at your disposal,
and The Ruby Red Slippers can be made so. Meanwhile I shall use my hot-air balloon
to attempt to take the air out of his sails." Whatever was he talking about, Hon? --
Lady Fern
All -- The Olympics may be over, but a visit to The Flower Shoppe will show you more
moves that you ever imagined. You owe it to yourselves or your loved ones to enjoy
the best available. The Flower Shoppe is the place to be this holiday season. --
Lady Fern
Lashing Lily -- What a disgusting notion! If I were alive, I'd refuse. As I'm not,
well, I do HOPE you aren't into necrophilia. -- Ghost of Dorian Selan
Our congratulations to Anastasius. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Ah, a Virginal Concubine. Obviously, not someone from the Flower Shoppe! Works for
me. -- Ursila Rilvar
Caustic Crocus -- And a not-so-virginal concubine? I got bored, okay? I prefer men.
-- Salina Rees
Deadly Rage -- Well, they did tell me that strong emotion would be "fatal to my
fighting," and it seems they were correct. -- Ghost of Dorian Selan
