DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
One win and I'm immortal. Two opponents, neither of whom I really want to face. Maybe
they'll fight each other and I'll get a bye? Or maybe I can just do it the old
fashioned way and get the win, in spite of the odds.

SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ILLIS will ever be the same. And let's see, BARNABAS fought HARBOR SEAL and
gained 11 points and contributed to CHAPEL ROCK's 2-2-0. EVA ANGELINA has lost to
SCRAWNY GEORGE, falling 7 points, while helping make X RATED KNIGHTS a 2-3-0 turn.
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and WITHDRAWAL remains ILLIS'
top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from
unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew. Talk about
gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the IMPROVED
ILLUSION stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on ILLIS, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding IMPROVED ILLUSION more than any other team we find CHAPEL
ROCK. ILLIS, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was BASHAHOLICS ANON's warrior NEED A FIX. More
fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Building dreams on hope,
ZARUKO challenged up 28 points this turn to take on KAPPA VOLANTIS from VOLANS
stable. Sad to say, ZARUKO lost to KAPPA VOLANTIS, and the attempt ended up costing
ZARUKO 2 recognition points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that ILLIS has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
