DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Thanks Wanstead. With that I go into temporary retirement, as the Boss doesn't want
me to exceed 39 political points. Not sure how long you and Karatia will stick
around for though.
Apple Danish
Worldwide Gore
7 Time DM of Erinika
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ERINIKA games. Fortune did not smile upon GASHOUSE
GANG this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 13th position in the wake of a
0-0-0 round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness
how this week THE BULLS went 2-0-0 to move up 7 in the rankings. STUB BULL caught
the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested GORDON and was
awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VENEMOUS
CONCUBINE put down THOMAS, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the
process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, APPLE DANISH has
lost the title of Duelmaster. The city has turned out in honor of KARATIA, for with
hers arena victory she may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!
Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without
pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ERINIKA. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ERINIKA
these days is DREW'S BOYS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of SUPER
STARS last week. Busy avoiding DREW'S BOYS? Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. GORDON take warning! You have more than a few enemies
in ERINIKA. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
SUN LIGHT posted a challenge against the more highly recognized LAELKORISSA. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SUN LIGHT was defeated by LAELKORISSA.
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ERINIKA. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are
angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes
