DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I never said I was good at that Kung-Fu stuff, and the style match was against
me, but still, it feels wrong to take the title on a loss. Still, it feels right to
be leaving, finally--and while still alive! I figure it was the political points
that did it.
Cham Dugan
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Practice pays for SIDEWINDER SMURF, who
pummelled WALLIS YENT, to pocket 20 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which,
TOM BAKER was winsome, after beating VONNER WESS and seeing him lose 13 points. What
can be a greater victory? FALLING LEAF has taken his place as the top, as JURINE's
new Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BLACK PEARL, alone and unchallenged. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of VIKING LINGO, so did that sorry team
shy from BLACK PEARL
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Can anything compare to the
pleasure of writing Spyreports for JURINE? On that giddy note I take my leave--
Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Counter Offer -- Yeah? How about you offer ME all that many skills? I could use
'em, and I wouldn't leave 'em lying around on any counter. -- Vonner Wess
Is there some reason why we can't ship these pesky dwarves back to Khalhums? -- Barlo
Chells
Tom Baker -- Who are you? No way you're going to "play doctor" with me. -- Wallis
Yent
Sidewinder Smurf -- Sorry about freaking out on you like that. Next time, I'll keep
my cool and osterize you. Mice are bad enough, but when they're blue, well, they
have to go. -- Zakalus Ardon
P.S. Especially when they're terminally cute.

All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere.
Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless
ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike.
-- Fizban the Famous
