DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Uh, with 8 DM Titles and numerous DM Columns under my belt, I really have little
to say. But Wanderer says I HAVE to write a column. Therefore I will tell you a joke.
Do you know how many Freshmen USC (Southern Cal) it takes to change a light bulb?
Well, it is hard to say since Changing Light Bulbs is a sophomore course.
That's it. Got to go change some light bulbs.
-- Cannelton DMVIII, TCI
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. OLBERDING CAFE caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested POLWHIS THE CANDLE and
was awarded 10 points in recognition. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others,
Duelmaster CANNELTON challenged DON LO last week in a match to decide the fate of the
throne. Although DON LO made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious CANNELTON. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top
team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. SAND DANCERS is feared. This much
I can say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding SAND DANCERS. Indeed it was PLACES. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after DON LO. Watch your back! I can not but mention with disdain the name of
FENNHAVEN LAKE who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 12 points below
in the rankings. I thought FENNHAVEN LAKE showed great skill and promise when it
bested RANCH ROAST. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
