DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The warriors in the stands clashed their weapons together, supposedly to
indicate approval of my performance. I question that. It doesn't seem like an
approving gesture, somehow. Besides, I have this overwhelming suspicion that anyone
who loses next time is going to blame me "because his weapons were blunted from
clashing." Bah.
Koreen
P.S. Masood, I'll take the throne as an alternative to a bloodfeud, okay? This kind
of stuff--dying and all--happens in the arena, after all.
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DAL SHANG will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as DARK TOADS is pushed out of top team by SAND DANCERS, who came from
2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, JESSE TAVAN fought MAY-LING SHEN and
gained 19 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 4-1-0. MAY-LING SHEN has lost to
JESSE TAVAN, falling 16 points, while helping make THE IMMORTALS a 0-1-0 turn. And
not without some honor, WAIS now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of DAL
SHANG. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the
table at The Blazing Unicorn?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. FEROCIOUS FELINES has cause to stand
tall, as they were DAL SHANG's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And guess who avoided FEROCIOUS FELINES stable the most? Believe it
or not, it was DARK TOADS. Anyone surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Had I not seen it, it would be hard to believe. AMPLITUR was sent to the
Dark Arena and lived to tell about it! Makes you think, no? 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, DAL SHANG, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and
I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in DAL SHANG
again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Tigtoad -- Sorry about Masood in the tourney. -- Sultan
P.S. Sorry, my A--! -- Jeanine, for the dearly departed
Durvan -- Okay, I admit, nice fight, nice learns. -- Jeanine, barely in the fight, or
didn't you even notice?
Jeanine -- Ah, you're too good for me! I am abashed at my callous and caddish
treatment of you. Can you forgive me? Have mercy! Join me for dinner! -- Druvan
P.S. I'll even feed you peeled grapes, though I have no idea where that suggestion
came from.
May-Ling Shen -- I am now convinced, totally CERTAIN, that what we need to do is get
you OUT of here by way of the Isle. You just don't belong here...so long as you're
facing me. I don't want you facing me again, you see. Well, not on the sands,
anyway. -- Marden Voss
P.S. And I can't wish you DEAD.
Ah, standbys, gotta love 'em. -- Jesse Tavan
I seized Korka the Hairy by the beard and shaved him close. -- Ming the Terrible
P.S. All EXCEPT his beard, obviously, since I was holding him by that.
Bal Iss -- (sternly) But if you don't pull up your socks and win some fights, I WILL
laugh at you. -- Dilys tyl Kogan
TigToad and the Dark Toads -- I don't have time to go into the party stuff today, but
with a little luck, next time, okay? -- Damoreth Stenn
P.S. First I have to do something about the monsters in the closets.
P.P.S. And under the beds.
P.P.P.S. And I think I'll just nail the cellar door shut....
Wais -- Admit it, you love me for my ability to teach. -- Professor Murgon
I would've liked to bury that standby in the sands. How about if I take him down to
the beach and do it there? -- Konga Dilli
Magn Gandr -- I'm cursed, aren't I? -- Ghost of Churro the Hook the Second
31 October 2003
Come one, come all, to the greatest contest in Alastari! The Third Annual Turf
War will be in North Fork (DM 47) starting in about 6-7 turns.... C'mon and get your
team some experience, and get declared!
More info available in North Fork's newsletter.
Bloody Sands. -- Asmo Dius, TCB
13 November 2003
Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex
