DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A Gurtargan Monk? Who let him out of his cage? Give the ape a banana and send
him away, he's pathetic.
Penelothe
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TROCAR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record
which FERAL LEGION managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will
draw challengers! SNIR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he
skillfully bested SKORINDELLE and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, SNIR put down SKORINDELLE, causing her to lose 10
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 PENELOTHE herself.
This time out GLUM made his bid for the throne as he challenged PENELOTHE in an all
out contest of skill for possession of the title! This time victory fell to the
grasp of the usurper. All hail GLUM, Duelmaster of TROCAR! Would you believe that
over half of the old women in TROCAR seem to feel that they could fight better than
you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in TROCAR these days is TRADERS OF TROCAR. 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 TRADERS OF TROCAR. Indeed it
was JANIX. I can not but mention with disdain the name of ROXY who this week posted
a challenge to a warrior a full 8 points below in the rankings. I thought ROXY
showed great skill and promise when she won victory over VARDIN ABEQ. All right, so
I slept through it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Was I the only one shocked to see the well respected fighter
WEREWOLF (2-0-1) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? She is now dead. Some say a
warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in
hand then a sword on the belt!
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 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

PERSONAL ADS
Penelothe, Skorindelle, and Daristam -- We feel bad for leaving you alone with the
stand ins last month. We had been naughty, and Kat didn't let us come out to play.
-- The Janix Crew
Dang it, Jorja--now that I missed a turn, it'll take several more before I have a
chance at wrestling the Top Team from you. -- Kat
Now that the Tourney is over hopefully we'll have more playmates this month. -- Kat
I hope the Warrior Mage is better at magic than at physical combat, because at
physical combat, he's...not stellar. -- Skorindelle
Why are we writing personals? I just took a closer look at the newsletter, and it's
just us and the standbys today. No point in writing personals to the standbys, even
though they could probably be induced to write back. Dutifully, you know. Bah. --
Jorja, Traders of Trocar
Lady Protector Penelothe -- Ah, congratulations. We will be sorry to see you go. We
have pooled our slender resources--we meaning myself and the more responsible
standbys and Dark Arena specialists--and bought you a share in a caravan heading for
Rithakar. If all goes well, when it returns in the spring it will bring wealth much
greater than the share invested. Use it wisely. -- Arenamaster Jareth Okara
