DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
This is such a STIMULATING arena, I don't know how the other managers can stand
it. Leeta gets all breathless when she picks up the fight reports, EAGER to see what
stiff challenges we've met with THIS time.
The Veteran Mercenary...I suppose he did his best. Which is a terrible thing to
have to say. But then, he's old. Tired, slow. Bored.
Hitch Hiker
SPY REPORT
Good day, in AMEN-TEI a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, NO WAY! fought
COUTH and gained 21 points and contributed to SUPERIOR FORCES 5405's 2-1-0. COUTH
has lost to NO WAY!, falling 12 points, while helping make UN a 2-2-0 turn. And all
eyes were on SABURO SAKAI this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.
AMEN-TEI has a new victor! By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last
night, cramped under the table at The Swinging Aardvark?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. WAYFARERS has cause to stand tall,
as they were AMEN-TEI's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding WAYFARERS more than any other team we find UN. AMEN-TEI, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was WAYFARERS' warrior TOM-TOM TORA. More fighters challenged her than
challenged the Duelmaster!
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, AMEN-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in AMEN-TEI and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in AMEN-TEI again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Avalanche Lily -- Sorry, I'm just a regular arena warrior, just like you! (Well,
warrior might be stretching it.) -- Furtive Returns II
I don't see HOW the Kung-Fu Master could teach me a DEFENSIVE skill, with him all the
time getting "struck on the arm by the parry." It doesn't look to ME like he knows
any defensive skills. -- Roadblock
Teaching by horrible example? -- Ed.
What a guy! I kick the Honest Merchant in the knee, and he "reels with the fury of
the battle." THAT was "fury"? Listen, I can DO fury, but I wouldn't waste it on
HIM. -- Bouncing Bea the Battling Belle
Furtive Returns II -- The only non-standby non-Wayfarer on the sands and *I* get to
fight her? Gee, what an honor! I can barely stand it. -- Avalanch Lily
P.S. The four skills helped, though.
Drat, that is SOOO embarrassing, to lose to the Visiting Orc. Not to mention
expensive, because now I have to buy him dinner, and he eats like there's no
tomorrow. Oh, well, there IS a tomorrow, after all, and *I* am getting better at
this and he isn't, so I just might beat the stuff out of him tomorrow. Then he'll
wish he hadn't eaten so much. -- Tom-Tom Tora

freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
