DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Another DM Title. Of course. That's two. And a TV in D.C. And The Boss won't let
me go to the Tempe Face? Blasphemus! (Or something like that in only four letters.) He
just wants me to graduate and might, just might, spend an entry fee on me when I max
Champs. (As if I'm not going to graduate first.) Bang! I could die first. (But I
really doubt it, 'cause I have to lose first, to die.)
So I will be here gathering interest for a while. Interest equals skills and I
like skills. Bring it on.
-- Amex, DMII
Oh, by the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ROCANIS games. PEACE AND caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested GILBERT IRDAN and was awarded 17
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PEACE AND put down
GILBERT IRDAN, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Most
watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on NEWT as he bore arms against
the challenge of reigning Duelmaster AMEX. Although NEWT made a valiant effort, it
did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious AMEX. Heed this! A seer has
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ROCANIS "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! ROCANIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is MIDDLE WAY 20, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of KNIGHTS OF NI last week. Busy avoiding MIDDLE WAY 20? Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after WHISPER. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? WHISPER must hold silent, for this week she was humbled in the
arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by DEAD COLLECTOR of KNIGHTS OF NI. Hail DEAD
COLLECTOR for thy victory! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the
arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ROCANIS. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
