DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Perhaps that Duck is Doomed, but perhaps not. It might be that the feeling of
looming disaster is due to his failure to migrate, eh? He should probably have spent
the winter down in Miroi T'Chi-Chang and just now be thinking of returning to the
north. You can't fight your nature, and it's the nature of ducks to fly back and
forth. After all, it's the sitting ducks who are most at risk.
Melost the Gray
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt DAL SHANG will ever be the same. And let's see, GRIZOLPOP fought DOOMED DUCK
and gained 25 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 2-3-1. SORRELISHE has lost to
*CRUCIFY*, falling 9 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 2-3-1 turn. We should
ask DOOMSDAY DEVICE about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster
does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Blazing Unicorn until
they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. I guess it was coming sooner or later, MIGHTY DUCKS has lost DOOMED DUCK,
and DAL SHANG is bound to miss him. For a little while, at least. Is it really true
that DAL SHANG has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd
ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in DAL SHANG again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
It's all well and good for Melost to sneer at the Chardinee, but I found him tough.
Mel just didn't approach him properly. -- Grizolpop
Duck Cutlets -- Would you believe me if I said I was vegetarian? No, I suppose not.
But I wouldn't eat an opponent. -- Sorrelishe
Flightless Duck -- Ah... walk back and forth on migration? Sounds tedious, but I do
hear that walking is good for your health. -- Luisenya
Vengeful Duck -- Hey, it wasn't me! I never touched a feather of that duckling's
head. -- Chaego Sarildan
If there were supposed to be more personals here, our apologies. Hal spent a
night on the tiles, weekend off, and we're still trying to catch up with the
mail. They should appear next time.
