DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
That was very...doggedly fought, Adema. You're as persistent as a beggar.
Amazing.
Randy
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly JURINE games. KETA caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested ADEMA and was awarded 17 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KETA put down ADEMA, causing
her to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor
of JADRA, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in
the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week,
the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In JURINE "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! JURINE, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is PHILANTHROPISTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of FEAR FACTORY are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. KETA take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in JURINE.
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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we
meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Jadra -- Did you know that there's a dye company sells something that does NOT change
the color of your clothes, but makes the sunlight not come through it? I thought
dirt did that just fine, but apparently it isn't as classy as this stuff. The things
you learn listening to the orderlies! -- Keta
Kjarran's Hammer -- Listen, bub, don't get carried away! If you smash me flat, who
will teach you four skills, eh? -- Chillili Ches, using the reserve survival tactic
of "teach well"
Oh, cheese, that is just TOTALLY embarrassing. Killed by the Captured Orc? Heck. --
Ghost of Dreen Seljin
Well...I killed the Mordant Deserter, so figuring it by teams, we may be even here.
Of course, the Deserter, though worthless, is essential immortal and will return,
rather like a badly cooked cabbage.... -- Laelkorissa
26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
