DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
All Hail Rocanis! Greatest arena in all the land! Yes, very surprised to be the DM
this last turn, hopefully this turn also. Welp yea had some good fights last turn
Pocktroll vs Stone Giant was very good. I do be a little amazed I lost it, laugh a
lot amazed. BTW thank you commission for inviting him.
Banthius, mgr Inconsisten Fury
Oh and best of luck to ya all less it's vs mine of course.
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Practice pays for BALZEC, who pummelled FREM
HARID, to pocket 23 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 15 points to BALZEC. (Discrete enough, FREM HARID?) In
ROCANIS, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster,
CHARLIE EKSA. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and
ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of INCONSISTENT FURY, alone and unchallenged.
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of THEM, so did that sorry team shy
from INCONSISTENT FURY Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and RIA ROSEDANCER is
it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't INCONSISTENT FURY proud!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure
of writing Spyreports for ROCANIS? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny
Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Airslicer Dan -- Ouch! You didn't warn me that you planned on slice the air I was
breathing. Yikes. -- Charlie Eksa
Crash -- Do. I'll sell popcorn and cold beer. -- Dililah Frann
P.S. Er, you ARE indicating the intention to run a demolition derby type of race,
aren't you?
Ria Rosedancer -- Damn, it's the THORNS. I think we should've left the Bad Apples to
deal with this stuff. -- Abelinda Chase
Those Rirorni Archers are helpless at close range. -- Frem Harid
Fonzeth Hilgra -- That's almost cute. -- Ebria Gannet
Purple Kitten -- Well, it looks like the Aruaki Association rejected you, since
you're listed as Kannar now. You could get this fixed, if it matters. -- Dililah
Banthius -- We're, well, me, I'm conducting an informal survey which may be totally
useless as well as informal. But here 'tis: If some one arena were to be designated
a "role-playing" arena, what do you feel should be required of the players there?
Personals, obviously, but what else? Short spotlights on a regular basis, no big
quests, just life in the arena and guildhouse? Something that hasn't occurred to me
yet? Not just the whole alliance wrangling thing as in North Fork (which is
remarkably amiable and enjoyable). Some kind of open-ended contest-like competition?
If I can get some kind of clear image, I'm going to push it to the Commission and see
what happens. -- Jorja
Slam -- Arg! -- Purple Kitten
Slam -- Youlp you look pretty good - love bashers! -- Banthius
Ebria Garnet -- Nutz! Nice learns. -- Fonzeth Hulgra
Charlie Eksa -- Didn't realize we would have the title fight, thanks for lettin' me
win. -- Airsiver DAn
Abelunda Chase -- Did the roses distract ya? -- Rid
Fram Harid -- Ya I like roses too, mine are stapled to the plate armour, so the not
much else is a sneaker. -- Ria Rogedancer
