DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Collector is a fool, whatever it is he collects. Scars, maybe?
Penelothe
P.S. You will note that "the audience falls silent as the dueling begins." I had
some apprentice mages set that up. A spell of silence to enfold them like a hot, wet
blanket (I prefer to fight without the distractions of yelling fans), and then, just
for laughs, a few sections of the stands to actually collapse, making the "falls"
part accurate, too. Perhaps this will persuade those tight-pockets in the Commission
to authorize (FINALLY) a genuine stone arena. These wooden bleachers are pathetic.
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt TROCAR will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the difference,
as TRADERS OF TROCAR is pushed out of top team by JANIX, who came from 3rd with a
3-1-0 this turn. And let's see, DENNA fought MAGE'S APPRENTICE and gained 16 points
and contributed to SCARLETS BRACE's 1-2-1. WORQ has lost to DARISTAM, falling 8
points, while helping make JANIX a 3-1-0 turn. Well done, TROCAR, the Duelmaster was
this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps PENELOTHE is not as thrilled, being
challenged 2 times. GLUM challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to
dethrone TRADERS OF TROCAR's warrior. We should ask GLUM about the thrill of
victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to
ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The
Swinging Aardvark uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

Snir -- It would appear that even without my favorites, I am superb. I knew this, of
course. If you wish to escape me with your life, you will donate a couple of pints
of blood to my dinner menu. -- Wimperetta
Glum -- Heck. I'd hoped for something more cheerful. A win, for instance. Rats. --
Skorindelle
Rune Knight -- Good try, but I had, as they say, "the style advantage." Lots of
times that doesn't mean a thing, glad it did today. -- Daristam
Mokan -- I guess it's just as well, because I really don't like kiwi fruits. -- Ghost

9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
