DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I guess I had an easy way of taking the throne. You take what you can get. What a
great arena we are in all these teams and only three managers and one of them is only
running one warrior. This next turn if every thing goes right I will get my invite.
Cross your fingers.
Karatia
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ERINIKA! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, PLAY BALL, but KIWI
CONNECTION was just too good to be stopped. I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or
anything, but SUE'S BOYS really goofed with their 0-0-0. The guys at FAVORITE GUYS
like really pulled together to get a 1-0-0 this turn, moving up by 6. Talk about hot
teams! DAMNED LIES goes out, the very first time, and goes 2-1-0! Like, what do you
guys eat for breakfast? MVP award for I'LL PULL OUT? DAMNED LIES' proud of him
after beating CONVICTED THIEF and getting 19 points. Don't you think the Duelmaster
is being unfair? I think KARATIA should let VENEMOUS CONCUBINE be Duelmaster for a
while, without fighting about it. Who was the wiseguy that said ERINIKA's Duelmaster
was paying for drinks at The Welcome Wench? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? Like, is THOMAS popular, or what?
He was challenged the most in all of ERINIKA! He's got a 7-3-1, is that good?
People were asking me did STUB BULL REALLY challenge THOMAS? (all right, maybe they
didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but THOMAS
wants me to write about it since he bested STUB BULL. Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ERINIKA ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. ERINIKA is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Sun Light -- Well, a win is a good thing, thanks! Now that I've got fourteen of
those little suckers, I might even (gasp) graduate, which would be a relief. I don't
like living on islands and will eagerly return to the mainland (NOT the Isle) and
take up an easier life. -- Laelkorissa
P.S. Generally, I prefer Sun Lite, though.
Dum Bull -- Listen, I've got places to do and things to go, I don't have TIME to wait
around for you. -- a busy Thief
American Eagle -- Birds! -- a seriously annoyed Beggar
P.S. I thought it was supposed to be pigeons who did that.
Sun Stroke -- You didn't have to laugh when my face turned red and I collapsed. --
the Beggar even more annoyed
Marlin -- I knew I didn't care for fishing. -- an unfortunately impoverished Osksi
Noble
Thomas -- You're all MINE, big boy! -- a Concubine with intentions
Black Eye -- I'll give you one, curse you. -- a Master of Kung-Fu
P.S. Meet me in the alley behind the arena. I'll bring a sword.
Wanstead -- Too bad for you that assassination is not at all like an arena fight.
Expect me when you don't see me, eh? -- an anonymous Assassin (the conviction was
wrongful, I was just doing my job)
Karatia -- (grudgingly) You aren't bad for a beginner. -- the Master of Kung-Fu
