DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hello, Fellow Duelers,
Appleseed was supposed to write a column on his final turn, but failed to do so.
So, I will take my turn on the throne to speak for both of us.
Appleseed was 10(1)-13-11-21-15-4-11 Lunger. The Commission says that he
enjoyed a HI/HI rhythm, the LO, and liked to learn Decise skills. He learned pretty
well during his time in Illis at 2.36 per fight. Appleseed never had much luck with
tournaments, going a combined 7-9-0 through three of them. He is off to Home Guard
at the moment until Phantasm has further use of him, which he surely will down the
road.
I, Elminster, am 11(2)-16(1)-9-15-18(1)-7-12 Wall of Steel. The Commission was
very observant of me as well, saying I like a VH/LO rhythm, the GS, and learned
Attack skills with ease. My tourney attempts were less stellar than Appleseed's with
a 3-6-0 record in two attempts. There isn't much else to say about myself except I
will also be traveling to Home Guard to await further instructions.
Appleseed and I are the 7th and 8th graduates from this team respectively. He
is the first Lunger and I am the second Wall of Steel. Phantasm has 6 of 10 styles
from this arena in ADM. We will continue here until the free fights dry up, which
will rest heavily upon how the new recruit turns out.
I won't be challenging King Midas this turn. Inuyasha says that he wants a
rematch. I hope that young hot-head knows what he is doing.
Good luck to everyone but my opponents next turn.
Duelmaster,
Elminster
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for DILLIS RHIN, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing
VETERAN MERCENARY like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. JOHNNY APPLESEED was subdued by COCO NUTTAL
and drops 12 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was TALL TALES' JOHN WAYNE, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
ELMINSTER. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad BLOODGUARD? Big bad BLOODGUARD. Big bad BLOODGUARD. ILLIS' afraid of the
big bad BLOODGUARD. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling
your rasberries, cause IMPROVED ILLUSION beats feet every time BLOODGUARD smiles at
them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of CHAGUA KORBIN,
who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ILLIS have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
