DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It has not been an easy road to get here. After winning my first three, Assur gave
the old no-confidence vote and unfortunately, he doesn't rule a democracy. So I had
to win my way in the Dark Arena not once, but twice. After that, Assur gave me a more
permanent contract.
Then he decided that, in spite of my tendencies/strengths/weaknesses, that I was good
enough to go to a tournament. That was eye opening! Those warriors are GOOD! I lost
to an AIMED BLOW! I had a nice run of matchups, though, and managed a 6-3 record. My
other two losses were more expected (a lunger and a parry riposte).
Since that tourney, I've been undefeated here in Trocar. I will be getting my invite
(assuming I survive) in 4 more turns (counting this one). I've heard Assur's
standards for Bashers in ADM is way higher than his standards in regular arenas, so
I'm not expecting to fight past that point.
I do know that he's planning my third date in the Dark Arena. And for that day, I
fully intend to walk out alive (I've heard that the resurrection process is beyond
painful).

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. Later days, BOOK OF THOMAS, since
LEGIONS OF FATE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see LUTHIEN win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly.
Tsk, tsk, LUTHIEN beat CHINA WHITE and CHINA WHITE lost 15 points. You're breakin'
my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, TROCAR may be getting bland, as OUT
OF TP stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I
telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, TROCAR?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. BOOK OF
THOMAS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like LEGIONS OF FATE
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. LEAKY TOILET 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. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the TROCAR arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
