DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Khalhums Dwarf had BOOTS! I love boots, they're so good for the teeth and
gums. EXCEPT when they're lined with steel. That really annoyed me.
Slippers
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ARADI! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for SILVERTHORN?
SUPERIOR FORCES 60's proud of him after beating FRIENDLY CONSTABLE and getting 29
points. Talk about yer big time losers! Q MARK got smashed by HOFFA, and lost 10
points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well,
welcome EVENING STAR. Aren't SUPERIOR FORCES 60 proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster
really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. JESSIE'S SPIES was the most avoided team. Is a 27-30-0 record
really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why SUPERIOR FORCES 60's been
avoiding JESSIE'S SPIES so much? Or is it just that they're too scared?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Hey, I couldn't help it, the Kung-Fu Master kicked me. I wasn't ready for that. I
didn't have a chance to get set and bite him on the foot. It was an accident, and I
was NOT a Bad Dog. -- Kotter
Yeah, there's a lot of this kicking going around! The Ruthless Jaywalker did it,
too. Right out in the middle of the street. -- Fenwrist
The Honest Merchant offered me a bone. How was I to know he put some weird stuff on
it? The bone smelled alright. -- Diggity Dog
The Friendly Constable--friendly, HA! He had a leash and a muzzle! So I bit him
where it would do the most good. -- Big Dog
