DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My ministry goes elsewhere and I leave this corner in Dal Shang to whomever
Wants to occupy it. Assur is quite pleased with my performance in the arena, but
that isn'tnearly as important to me. I am just happy to have been able to spread the
good news for the better part of the last year. Farewell, all!
-- On the Corner
****
Notes from Assur
What does it take for a couple of bashers to go a combined 39-2 here in Dal Shang?
In Your Face: 12(1)-6-10-15-17-16-9 B Good/Norm skills: 19/14/26/20/7/22
faves: MO/LO ML Decise tactic
On the Corner: 11(1)-8-11-17-17-6-15 B Norm/Good skills: 22/9/31/11/14/25
faves: VH/VL WF
On the Corner is my first undefeated graduate. <something missing?> do it, but I am
more than pleased with the results. Neither of them entered a tournament. Both head
to retirement, but On the Corner will not be forgotten (at least not by me).
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of DAL
SHANG brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see 15 MINSOF BLISS win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
SWEET ANELLA beat LORAND TEN SORN and LORAND TEN SORN lost 13 points. You're
breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, ON THE CORNER
has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out
with the old, in with the new, as KURLO TEN DOSHAN takes the Title and last week's
bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but
why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, DAL SHANG?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. BASH
BROS EVANGELIST, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like SCRABBLE
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. MARAN TEN PALAN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now
was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for DAL SHANG's
morgue. More variety. Gee, THE INQUISITION, ain't it past due for sending LOWER
G.I. Dark Arena? What took ol' '10-2-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! And sending
LOWER G.I. to the Dark Arena was supposed to be one of your better ideas, THE
INQUISITION? Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
