DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Victory over a standby to take the title. It's a come-down. Not what I had
hoped for.
Kurlo ten Doshan
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DAL SHANG, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for IRONIC TWIST, who pummelled
DOESN'T LISTEN, to pocket 16 points. A certain someone should cut down on the
drinking and practice more, after losing 12 points to HELVAN QUICKHAND. (Discrete
enough, LORAND TEN SORN?) Out with the old, in with the new. Enter HELVAN QUICKHAND,
handily defeating KURLO TEN DOSHAN. With 93 points, MARAN TEN PALAN of SAND DANCERS
takes the position of DAL SHANG's Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen charging
into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE INQUISITION, alone and unchallenged.
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SCRABBLE, so did that sorry team
shy from THE INQUISITION If challenges were horses, DRIVING A ROLLS could open up a
fast food joint!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DAL SHANG farewell--
Novgorodny Vir

woman. As it is, no thanks! -- Lorand ten Sorn
Dengan the Trader thought he could out-bargain me. As if! -- Lindis tyl Sarro
Doesn't Listen -- See if I care! -- Kaldan ten Karan, unreasonably smug
