DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
New faces, new opportunities coming to Dal Shang! But don't worry! I will tell
them about the one, true God and hopefully they will see the light! Serve him and He
will take care of you forever! Yes, that is correct! FOREVER! But you must give up
your old life and live a new one.
SPY REPORT
Good day, in DAL SHANG a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BASH BROS EVANGELIST is pushed out of top team by SAND DANCERS, who
came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn. And let's see, HUMAN CHEESE fought BERVAN THE
TINKER and gained 18 points and contributed to SHEWISH BUFFET's 3-2-1. LORAND TEN
SORN has lost to SLIM JIM, falling 4 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 3-2-0
turn. And all eyes were on KOLACTAN KABOB this turn as he ascended to the throne of
Duelmaster. DAL SHANG has a new victor! 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. The most challenged warrior this turn
was SAND DANCERS' warrior MARAN TEN PALAN. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster! Building dreams on hope, DRIVING A ROLLS challenged up 29
points this turn to take on MARAN TEN PALAN from SAND DANCERS stable. Well, DRIVING
A ROLLS was overcame by MARAN TEN PALAN, but DRIVING A ROLLS gained 1 in recognition
for his efforts. Thank goodness for small favors.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
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 the sun next rises and my pen
sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Maran Ten Palan -- That really hurt. Don't you realize how wicked things like that
are? -- Driving a Rolls
Khisanth -- No offense, but the plan is to let you take the Shewish Buffet monster
this turn. I enjoy my arena bashers, but they are no match for Challenger level
tourney caliber warriors. The plan may or may not work, but I can hope! -- Assur
Kordal T'Rohn -- You will see soon that my way is best. -- In Your Face
On the Corner -- END? As in, no more crispy fries, no more hot fudge sundaes, no
more... anything? What the heck would be the point of REPENTING? I'm gonna rush out
and sin some more. -- Garno ten Koro
We offer a salute to our few tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Sand Dancers
In Your Face -- Why not in someone else's? I just washed mine. -- Kordal t'Rohn
Sasha -- Darned golem. When the world ends, YOU will be out in the cold, wailing and
gnashing your teeth, in so far as you can wail and have any teeth to gnash. -- Garno
ten Koro
P.S. At 19-39, why haven't I been declared a sandbagger and forcibly graduated?
Driving a Rolls -- Amazing what a little sand in the gears will do, isn't it? --
Maran ten Palan
And Normar the Blond gets it coming and going. Works for us. -- Kurlo ten Doshan and
Lorand ten Sorn
