DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My career in Illis grows shorter! Sober for 7 Days and myself were born to be tourney
warriors. Neither of us have broken through to what Assur calls success, but just
being able to fight for him means we aren't without merit. He call himself a patient
manager, but that only applies when you have something unique going on! "His
'special' projects.' Those get carte blanche! A basher that catches his eye?
Hired!!! Us tourney strikers?!? Not so much...
-- Substitution
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. For every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a
look at ISLANDERS, who went down to 5th from 9th. Life is tough. Hey everybody,
watch out for FALSE IDLE, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing AZA
CHORN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to
walk out on the sands. AZA CHORN was defeated by FALSE IDLE and drops 15 points.
It's a proud day for the HANGOVERS stable, as their warrior, FROZEN MUDSLIDE,
ascended the Duelmaster's throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get
a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad BOOK OF THOMAS? Big bad BOOK
OF THOMAS. Big bad BOOK OF THOMAS. ILLIS' afraid of the big bad BOOK OF THOMAS.
Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: BOOK OF THOMAS +
Weapons That go Boom = BASHAHOLICS ANON + Avoid City. And who is this BOBBING CORPSE
you ask, with 49 points and a 6-3-1 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Here's some advice: warriors with little
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, there's the manager of the ILLIS giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown
