DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well it's been a blast being he Duelmaster for this long. I'm sure that I'll be
dethroned as soon as Incantation gets back.
-- Weapon Delta III
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 IRON CATHEDRAL was
unseated this week as MIDDLE WAY 8 moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 1-4-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around
the corner! Witness how this week PSYCHIC PIRATES went 3-2-0 to move up 3 in the
rankings. My praise to THE BLUES 52 for their 3-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it
was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! FATTY LIVER caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested FATHER ADAMANTINE and was
awarded 13 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, FATTY
LIVER put down FATHER ADAMANTINE, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the
process. Not for nothing has WEAPON DELTA III in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed
this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city
shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city FRATSFA. FRATSFA, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is IRON CATHEDRAL, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Apparently the stalwarts of OTTO'S PARTS are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
UMBERTO VINE. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there
is but one reward--death. This past week DEAF EAR, at 8-9-1, departed FRATSFA
forever. Cruelly, WEAPON DELTA III of PHOENIX FORCE III has slain the lesser ranked
DEAF EAR. Word already flies around town that OTTO'S PARTS plans a bloodfeud! Dark
alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the
brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in FRATSFA. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
