DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
You'd've done better, Hellpop, if you could swim in full armor. It gives you an edge
here on the island.
-- Harbor Seal
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to ILLIS once again! What's with ENERVATE? She actually beat
ILLIS' PERSISTENT BEGGAR, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at CLAN DREKMOOR. BROKENBONE lost 12 points to SUBSTITUTION. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe BROKENBONE will provide more easy wins... I can barely
restrain my enthusiam for IMPROVED ILLUSION's outstanding member, Duelmaster
SWORDGRAVE. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your
fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, BASHAHOLICS
ANON! The bums at CLAN DREKMOOR couldn't face the challenges from BASHAHOLICS ANON!
No excuse for that! What do people see in SHOO-CHA? Hers 8-6-0? ISLANDERS ain't
talkin', but she's got 51 points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
