DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I have no right to gloat or be loud and boastful about taking the Duelmaster's spot.
After all, some gladiators did not take part in the dueling games last week. This is
my first time sitting high in the Duelmaster's seat and I'll take what I can get. We
all know that things can change in a split second on the sands and fate comes
calling!!!! Anyway, I am very thankful to be in this big chair and boy does it feel
wonderful. I do pray to my gods that someone will challenge the throne which I now
sit. I do not like defeat, but will accept anything that may happen in this "very,
very quiet arena" and deal with it. Challenge away!
Your new Duelmaster,
Adalius, the Great (grin)
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. DAYLA KIV needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, SAND
DANCERS, but GURTARG'S AXES was just too good to be stopped. GURTARG'S AXES like
really fought hard to move up to 1st from 4th. Way to go! MVP award for MALAKAI?
FACING WORLDS' proud of him after beating CHESSARA and getting 13 points. Talk about
yer big time losers! CHESSARA got smashed by MALAKAI, and lost 11 points! This
Duelmaster is like something else! ADALIUS stopped TRAVELING TINKER dead in his
tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They
want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. GURTARG'S AXES was DAYLA KIV's most avoided team. Is there some
award for that? I don't know what FACING WORLDS' been doing. They certainly haven't
been accepting many fights from GURTARG'S AXES, that's fer sher. Like, is KORBA KLEE
popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of DAYLA KIV! He's got a
8-11-0, is that good? Some fights are really unfair. How do you think RONSEVAN
feels about being challenged by LOQUE, 18 points above him? LOQUE beat RONSEVAN. No
surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised LOQUE would do such a scummy thing,
either. SYMPATHETIC DEVIL must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.
He challenged KORBA KLEE. 9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.)
I thought SYMPATHETIC DEVIL showed great skill and promise when he beat KORBA KLEE.
All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey! Quit laughing! Just because
DACIRYAS had 7-5-2 was no reason for GURTARG'S AXES to send him to the Dark Arena!
Stop it! Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Ronsevan -- Sorry about your misfortune and do hope that you'll heal up just fine.
I'll even pay for the bill that sawbones sends you with high hopes of meeting up with
you again in the future. If I am able to live or stay alive...I'll fight two more
times and then my manager will pull me off the sands and talk to me concerning the
October tourney. Good luck to you and always remember to pray before you face an
opponent. -- Adalius
All -- Our manager messed up and turned our fight strats in too late; we will join
you for swordplay this very turn. May the blades stain the sands, but hope it's not
going to be our blood. We will fight for at least five turns, then we're headed to
the tourney...well, if we are able to live that long. May your gods be with you.
And do not forget to challenge us...we look forward to it. Yeah!!!! -- Auldrymbrei &
Glaerikim, Gurtag's Axes (447)
All -- I've always enjoyed fighting here in the past and was surprised to see that
this arena had become so empty and weeks have now taken over a large part of the
arena sands. Who has allowed this to happen? Seeing this makes me very, very
unhappy and you will not like me when I'm in an emotional uproar!!! -- Adalius
Zalgor Prigg -- You still here? Active here? Just wondering. Concerning ZalCon3...
The Rebirth!!! Sounds real nice and wish I could take part in that, but things
wouldn't allow me to finish the contest so why even bother? Hope all goes well in DM
31. -- Sir Chester, Gurtag's Axes
Adalius -- I don't grudge you the title, but couldn't you write a column? --
Ronsevan, who wrote one even when he had nothing to say
Sympathetic Devil -- What, flowers for ME? Gee, thanks! -- Korba Klee
And three wins against standbys. Thank Mantor for the standbys, or we would have
SUCH a bad record, worse than the current one. -- Sand Dancers
