DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Venomous Concubine. Pitiful. Especially since he's a guy.
Tillise Ulam
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. It looks like the guys(?) at ELEPHANTS ON PARADE had a good week as
they went 3-1-0 to put them in 3rd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody,
watch out for CIRSIUM VULGARE, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing
CAPTURED ORC like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't
pay to walk out on the sands. ROEKFORT SIMS was overcame by SIBI EL KEER and drops
15 points. In front of all the crowds, XANDER HAXAN took the Duelmaster's crown for
his own. I give the bum two weeks. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to
deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the JURINE arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid MIDDLE WAY 16, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does JURINE really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try this
one: MIDDLE WAY 16 + Weapons That go Boom = BLADE AND BLOOD + Avoid City. And who
is this CHAM DUGAN you ask, with 2 points and a 0-2-0 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?). Knowing when to use the right tactics at
the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JURINE have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The

P.S. They say cows won't eat you, and you "increase under grazing pressure," but I
