DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Venomous Concubine. Pitiful. Especially since he's a guy.
Tillise Ulam
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! The boys at BLADE AND BLOOD left the arena
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by ELEPHANTS ON PARADE. Good show!
Practice pays for PARLEN QUIR, who pummelled DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, to pocket 14 points.
A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 6
points to DUMBO. (Discrete enough, XAROK YOLE?) Can you believe it? XANDER HAXAN
apparently has better things to do as JURINE's Duelmaster than show up and fight! In
JURINE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster,
PARLEN QUIR. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are JURINE's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty
rumors, the guys in ELEPHANTS ON PARADE are not carrying any incurable diseases. No
need to avoid 'em. The warriors of ELEPHANTS ON PARADE found their efforts at combat
frustrated as ELEPHANTS ON PARADE apparently had more important things to do than
fight. If challenges were horses, XAROK YOLE could open up a fast food joint!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid JURINE farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
King Babar -- Gawds, that was awful! Remind me never to accept the parade position
that comes right AFTER the elephants. Oog. -- Cham Dugan
Xander Haxan -- Well done. -- Tillise Ulam
Mikai Abados -- I am NOT yours! You hate cats. -- Parlen Quir
P.S. I never asked to be a cat. I'm more of a dog person, actually.
Sibi el Keer -- (sigh) This is the kind of day we've been having all over northern
Alastari. -- Roekfort Sims
P.S. So I'm too tired even to flirt, sue me. I was busy last night, cut me some
slack here. I wasn't goofing off.
Jumbo -- Wow, the IVORY you've got! All mine, yes? -- Xarok Yole
