DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
These Kungfusians. He stabbed at me with his hands, I parried with my blade, he was
struck in the arm by my parry and began bleeding heavily, so he surrendered. Armor is
your friend. Believe it.
-- Harbor Seal
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ILLIS games. Former top team IMPROVED ILLUSION was
unseated this week as ISLANDERS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
2-3-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week KILLER BLUES went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.
In one of the week's more notable duels, SCRAPPER BLACKWEL put down SUPPORT GROUP,
causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has
SHOO-CHA in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's
proven hers combat skill yet again. Informants "close" to the city champion have
told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ILLIS "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this
week's challenge seeking began. IMPROVED ILLUSION is feared. This much I can say.
Apparently the stalwarts of BASHAHOLICS ANON are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena
has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after
OIL SPILL. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this
week, it seems that SOBER FOR 7 DAYS posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized HARBOR SEAL. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SOBER FOR 7 DAYS
overcame HARBOR SEAL. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
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! More than a sharp eye must I keep,
indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await
me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

The Assassin slipped in the oil--it has its uses--and I stabbed him. He's in no
position to complain, that's the kind of opportunity he seizes. -- Oil Spill
They shoulda let me bury the kungfusian in the sands. A speed bump is about all he's
good for. -- Shoo-Cha
Aza Chorn -- I'll have you walk the plank! Nobody like you belongs on MY ship. -- Tom
Bligh
Lothar Dyfonate -- Is ONE skill what you call "some pointers"? Disappointing. But any
guy named Lothar is bound to be a villain. -- Starfish
