DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What the heck? I lose to Sweet Anella, who is a GUY in a padded tunic and looks
really DISGUSTING, and still get to be Duelmaster? This is embarrassing.
Killian ten Vir
This would be easier for everybody if Killian didn't squirm so. After all, he's
a fine-looking figure of a man, and I can't help being interested. Besides, the gods
threw him into my arms, so this must be MEANT, right?
Sweet Anella
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly DAL SHANG games. SLICED DUCK caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FELTAR OF ILLIS and was
awarded 11 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KORKA THE
HAIRY put down LORIN TEN KORO, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the
process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail STEELHORSE,
Duelmaster of DAL SHANG! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in
duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city DAL SHANG.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Was I the only one shocked to see the well
respected fighter PEACEMAKER (2-0-0) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is
now dead. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but
sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Mim Yellowhair for me, but at least she IS a she, and I won besides. This isn't so
bad. -- Lorin ten Koro
Duck Ka-bob -- Better if I could have you skewered along with onions, tomatoes, and
peppers. Or, hmm, I wonder what would go with oranges on the skewer? Come on by our
place and we can experiment. -- Karzin Tyrn
Lion Heart Hammer -- I checked, and it's a human heart, well, an elven heart anyway,
not a lion's. You're a fake! -- Joevina Saril
And a last standby. Very good. -- Merro Dosh
P.S. I may not love 'em, but winning helps.
