DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings again to the Traitors of Trocar. I finally get to depart from this
place, but I didn't spend my entire dueling life here. I started way back when in
Seam, back before it was a haven for bashers, and back before it was shut down. But
I'm the last of the Seamites on this team, and the senior team member taking over
from me was Trocar Born and Bred.
As I glare into my crystal ball, I can see that my numbers are 9(1)-14(1)-14-
18(1)-16(1)-4-13 with Advanced Experts in Parry and Initiative, and Experts in Attack
and Defence on 60 learned skills. While I show up as +2 Attack and +3 Parry, it is
my -4 in Defence that is going to end my dueling career after this turn. The crystal
ball also tells me that I'm adept with the Shortspear, liking a Moderate/Very High
rhythm, and learn defence.
Good luck to whomever should sit on the throne after me.
Madam Venusia
SPARF!
Duelmistress of Trocar
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
TROCAR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see ALLERDAE CHAN win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
ALLERDAE CHAN beat TROUT and TROUT lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. Going
for broke or broken, our Duelmaster MAINAKHA-TE ASSASSIN Dark Arena Challenged this
turn. And if variety is the spice of life, TROCAR may be getting bland, as MADAM
VENUSIA stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how
else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. TROCAR,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. WARRIORS the most avoided team? What
insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was USELESS TOOLS. Ha ha ha ha!
LARCH was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. SPARF! has cause to pause today, as MADAM VENUSIA was
sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager.
Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless
cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

it and that we will see you there!
