                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings, Fratsfa, from your Duelmaster.

As an Aimed Blow, I recognized from an early age that tomorrow isn't promised, so I 
will be writing a DM column each turn that I qualify.  With such known killers as 
Incarnations, Iron Cathedral, and Otto's Parts in the ranks, there should be no lack 
of adrenaline in my near future.

Weapon Delta III -- I have no idea what your name means, but it's interesting.  Our 
fight was a poor style match for you, and as we all know, styles make fights.  For 
that reason, I hope to see you again in the near future. 

Ba'al -- Please stay inactive.

To the rest of you, you may gain my notice if you make Challenger Champs.  Or you may 
not.  

                                          Toodles!

                                          Kentucky Owl

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  It looks like the guys(?) at INCARNATIONS had a 
good week as they went 3-0-0 to put them in 2nd place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey 
everybody, watch out for WEAPON DELTA III, who flew up 20 points in the rankings 
after mashing ZINC PREBSTER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling 
like a basher in the top ten was DENTAL IMPLANT, who dropped 7 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with UMBERTO VINE.  It's a proud day for the 
INCARNATIONS stable, as their warrior, AMAUNET, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  
Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that IRON CATHEDRAL was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of IRON CATHEDRAL's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not 
be funny, but catch OTTO'S PARTS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly 
deft at running from IRON CATHEDRAL.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of XENO 
YOLE, who was this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Well, just when you thought it was safe to 
put a new warrior in the arena.  No no!  KELLY, a mere girl, was slain by TWO HANDS 
this turn.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a very 
important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the FRATSFA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been real, 
and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

These are probably late.  Is it better late than never? -- Jorja

Yang

Sokar -- You could've shared the skills.  I would not have minded that. -- Umberto

you should cut back to one. -- Xeno Yole

Ishkur -- I thought a god of thunderstorms would be taller?  Towering cumulus clouds 
and all that. -- Umberto Vine
P.S.  Where are my skills?

Nerus -- You one-shotted me.  Ouch. -- Beanpole
