DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Oh, Tobeornottobe, you forgot to shake your spear. Nuthin' beats a cranky old
scotsman, right? MacBeth was my hero, hopefully I last a little longer, but I
challenge a revolution this turn, and I'm not talkin' about them there
liverpuddlians.

Duelmaster of Kyr'Terr
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly KYR'TERR games. Fortune did not smile upon ZOMBIE
SQUADS this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 11th position in the wake of
a 0-3-0 round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!
Witness how this week AL EAST went 2-0-0 to move up 7 in the rankings. TORNADO
GOLFING caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested
WRAITH and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable
duels, TORNADO GOLFING put down WRAITH, causing it to lose 17 points of recognition
in the process. Although HAUGHA RYDE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to
topple the reign of victorious JOCK-IN-THE-BOX. Informants "close" to the city
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.
Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In KYR'TERR "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. PIZZA TOPPINGS 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 PIZZA TOPPINGS. Indeed it was AL EAST. Mighty fighters cannot
but expect competition from those below. KESTEREL take warning! You have more than
a few enemies in KYR'TERR. For some warriors honor is not important--only empty
victory. See, gladiators, how BALLROOM DENTISTRY of BAD COMBINATIONS challenged down
16 points to KESTEREL. All the city knows the duel went in favor of BALLROOM
DENTISTRY. I shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty"
victory.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
The girls are as pretty in KYR'TERR as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Anchovy Jr -- Not my first choice. -- Dagger
Tornado Golfing -- That could have gone better. -- Ronen
Jalapeno -- Long fights are the best. -- Kesterel
Wraith -- Very skillfully played. -- Kesterel
Okay, these are late. Sue us. No, don't sue us, Sue wouldn't like that. Well, just
blame it on having a high (relatively) arena number and no replacement rollups to be
dealt with. On the August due-date for this arena, we were otherwise occupied on a
large scale. All day, you know? And it was so hot and humid, when we were DONE,
there was no energy left. Moderately sorry about that. -- Jorja and the Zoo
So, better late than never, we congratulate Tobeornottobe. -- Jorja and the Zoo
Two-three-one. Well, damn. The kill was unintentional, and we hope the deceased was
not some godling, although with a name like that... euwh. -- Haugha Ryde
P.S. Nobody could expect me to defeat a Lord Protector, right?
Outer Gods -- We regret the accidental slaying of Mother of Pus, but really, I think
I might have done you a favor there. Who needs a mother of puss? Ick. A bunch of
white blood cells that ate themselves to death, in, probably, a good cause, but
still. -- Sally Turkel
Tornado Golfing -- When you live in Tornado Alley and are a golfer, what else is
there to do? -- Kali Flower
Lady Redundant Woman, Ma'am -- Er, ah. I was impressed. By your weapon,
unfortunately. It hurts. -- Hanson Foxxe
Matt Cain -- Listen, I don't have TIME for this stuff, okay? -- Igona Keen
Current personals
Red Sox -- Okay, I was easy. It was an input error which, FINALLY, Jorja is aware
of. (Thanks to your manager for that!) So maybe, possibly, this time it might be
corrected. Or (sigh) not. -- Kali Flower
Two-three for us, and Igona is complaining about the smell of Stinky Feet. So I told
her, if she'd WON, she could have made him wash them. -- Kali Flower
Ham -- Delicious, I assure you. I brought my own applesauce, which is weird on a
pizza, maybe, but no weirder than pineapple. Or (shudder) anchovies. -- Sally Turkel
