DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Here we go again. All Chapel Rock at the top of the arena, and apparently
Bashaholics are skipping their court-mandated sessions. Not really surprised, as I
haven't noticed any bashers on that team for a while, perhaps their manager is
suffering from withdrawal symptoms? But I'll also have you notice that I've almost
caught up to Immaculatecollection in recognition points now.

Duelmaster of Illis
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ILLIS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. STONE TEMPLE PILOT caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FISHHOOK and was awarded 18
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SCRAWNY GEORGE put
down THERE IS A GOD, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.
Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on JOHNNY APPLESEED as he
bore arms against the challenge of reigning Duelmaster NAZARETH. Although JOHNNY
APPLESEED made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious
NAZARETH. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their
position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ILLIS "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! ILLIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names
of thy guilds is BASHAHOLICS ANON, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. Apparently the stalwarts of HANGOVERS are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. JOHNNY APPLESEED take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in ILLIS.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ILLIS. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle
walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
