DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail Warriors of Glorious Valamantis!
I, your Duelmaster, am honored to address you on this most glorious day. It has been
many, many, turns since a Blood Knight has occupied this throne. I am now honored to
hold this position even as many of you scheme to undo this current reign!
May I remind all that you need to participate in the arena if you wish to sit here at
this pinnacle of honor. I now will make a few suggestions to help you achieve this
goal:
1) Use only the finest weapons you can find
2) Study your opponents continuously
3) Practice often
4) Trust no one
These tidbits of wisdom have been useful to me and I now share them with you! Oh I
forgot one last piece of wisdom, prior to going into the arena, take a good long shot
of rum. Ha, Ha, Ha.
Sir Kevin of the Blood Knights,
Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in VALAMANTIS since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! RANDOM SITH were a
bunch of dogs after BLOOD KNIGHTS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!
What's with SIR PAUL? He actually beat RANDOM SITH's DARTH BANE, and walked away
with 13 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BLOOD KNIGHTS while they
watched SIR PAUL clobber DARTH BANE. He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects
thrown from the stands. Try as he might, ERFIN GORAM wasn't good enough at
persuading SIR KEVIN to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be
nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses
of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was BLOOD KNIGHTS. The bums at COLORS couldn't face the challenges
from BLOOD KNIGHTS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the
most challenged warrior, DONETTA FALDOUR! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back
to haunt you. Maybe COLORS' BLUE is one of those beasts who likes pain, or
something. That's what it'll get next week, after challenging up 31 to BALI DARRAS.
BALI DARRAS must not been fighting well, cause she lost to BLUE of COLORS. Sometimes
you just have a bad day where things get, um, mixed up. Keep challenging up 29
points, SIR WILLIAM, and I won't have to write about you much longer. DARTH SIDIUS
always accepts those kind of challenges... SIR WILLIAM defeated DARTH SIDIUS (SIR
WILLIAM getting 25 points, too!)--Ooh baby! Now dat I likes!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Some people are wondering why LEGION OF LEGEND sent BARBAROSA
(2-0-0) to the Dark Arena. Just be glad you're not on their team. Sending a warrior
to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, RED.
That's what a 6-5-0 gets you. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger
every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Dr Baddas -- I could perhaps recommend some salves that have a reputation for being
useful in such a case? Although with a golem...hard to know if it would help. Maybe
it's just a case of poor design. -- Gabrella Imbro
Our Venomous Concubine is a male dwarf. How did the Commission manage not to notice
the beard? Couldn't this guy have been employed as some OTHER standby? This is
really off-putting. -- Erfin Goram
Blue -- And I'm sure it's no surprise. Suggest to your manager that he either bribe
the handicapper or issue challenges for you! (It comes to much the same thing.) --
Bali Darras
P.S. Going headfirst into a veritable wall of blades is usually a bad tactic, unless
you need a really short haircut.
Brown -- You just HAD to do it, didn't you? We were hoping for a five-oh turn, and
did we get it? No! For why? Firstly, because our fifth warrior didn't show UP, and
secondly because you INSISTED on winning this match. -- Donetta Faldour
P.S. And I only learned one skill. That's a bummer. I tried to go into a "brown
study," and you took the opportunity to whack me on the head. Not that I'm blaming
you for that, exactly, because I would have done the same in your boots-- Who am I
fooling? I DO blame you! EXACTLY! Still, you kept it short and non-fatal, so I
guess I can live with it.
