Again I hold the destigous Duelmaster's position in this very quiet arena. I can't understand why the arenamaster has allowed the grass to grow in most areas of the fighting arena of Daiyla Kiv? It's a disgusting thing to see and I want answers and soon! Hell...I am praying that one of these fine gladiators will make a challenge and fight for the golden chair which I now sit. Last turn I was matched up with TRAVELING TINKER and won in two minutes...no big deal, but was hoping that "someone", "anyone" would stop up and make a challenge...and from the way things look, it will not happen? I suppose most of you are getting ready for the tourney and I respect that and hope all of you do well. I thank you all for being such great hosts...really I do appreciate it very, very much. The attention that I am now getting from the finest ladies from is just grand...just grand...I'll tell ya! Wish this could last forever! Life is short so take nothing for granted. I must now be on my way for more training to keep my mind, body and blades sharp and keen. Again, thank you all for making this such a "CAKE WALK". You have been very supportive and very understanding. "Smile!" Remember...this is my last fight for a while! WINK!!! Adalius -- the King of Daiyla Kiv SPY REPORT Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly DAYLA KIV games. Former top team GURTARG'S AXES was unseated this week as SAND DANCERS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. A new guild, IMPERIAL BASTARDS, entered DAYLA KIV with a clash this turn, showing off a 3-0-0 record. Indeed, a worthy addition to the city guilds. RONSEVAN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested AULDRYMBREI and was awarded 25 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, RONSEVAN put down AULDRYMBREI, causing him to lose 21 points of recognition in the process. This time out LOQUE made his bid for the throne as he challenged ADALIUS in an all out contest of skill for possession of the title! This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail LOQUE, Duelmaster of DAYLA KIV! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. DAYLA KIV, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is SAND DANCERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of GURTARG'S AXES last week. Busy avoiding SAND DANCERS? Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! 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! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOQUE 3953 9 0 0 101 FACING WORLDS (495) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RONSEVAN 3866 14 29 0 93 SAND DANCERS (251) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ADALIUS 3513 11 8 1 89 GURTARG'S AXES (447) AULDRYMBREI 3264 11 4 0 68 GURTARG'S AXES (447) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GLAERIKIM 3515 10 5 0 58 GURTARG'S AXES (447) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -MALAKAI 3964 6 1 1 55 FACING WORLDS (495) CHESSARA 3983 8 6 0 51 SAND DANCERS (251) MITRILLAO 3998 4 3 1 49 SAND DANCERS (251) KORBA KLEE 3963 9 11 0 46 SAND DANCERS (251) GARMON CHANG 3979 7 8 0 46 SAND DANCERS (251) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SYMPATHETIC DEVIL 3985 5 2 1 46 STONED (498) -MIDNIGHT RAMBLER 3984 4 0 0 41 STONED (498) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -STREET FIGHTING MAN 3988 5 0 0 33 STONED (498) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TOOTHLESSBEARDEDHAG 3987 3 1 0 23 STONED (498) DAMON DEATHLORD 2758 1 0 0 13 IMPERIAL BASTARDS (384) SILAS STORMLORD 2754 1 0 0 13 IMPERIAL BASTARDS (384) HIGH LORD KRUSHER 2755 1 0 0 11 IMPERIAL BASTARDS (384) -SPALDING 4004 1 0 0 11 CORPS (346) -BROWN SUGAR 3986 2 2 0 8 STONED (498) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Didn't your mother teach you ANYTHING? You START with boiling water, which, fortunately, is not allowed in the arena. We don't need peeled tomatoes here, we get enough over-ripe ones thrown at us. -- Chessara Sympathetic Devil -- Frankly, no. -- Korba Klee Glaerikim -- Listen, you should give Gurtag his axe BACK. Use your own next time. -- Garmon Chang And I lucked out with a standby, that wimpy public scribe. -- Mitrillao Wow, real personals from other teams! Great. -- Sand Dancers Adalius -- You want to meet again? Sounds good to me. I know a couple of great taverns.... -- Ronsevan Sir Chester -- I think Zalgor's busy planning his next Zalcon. We haven't seen him around here lately. -- Li Dan, Sand Dancers Chandar Lo -- You came out of nowhere and I sent you back. You attempted to bring me down...and thanks to working out and staying sharp...is what saved me. Good dueling and better luck in the future with someone other than me! -- Asking who's next-- Auldrymbrei--the great! Garmon Change -- Hell of a matchup wouldn't you say? Sometimes this stuff just doesn't make any sense to me. Then again...what does? We'll have two new gladiators for all of you to beat the crap out of or then again maybe they'll win a few fights? Who knows? Whatever the case may be, we can handle the pressure of this small town. And the quietness...it helps us train without a lot of interruptions! -- Glaerikim-- enjoying the swords play All -- I'm enjoying this way too much...C'mon...someone do some challenging...this is not normal...can someone tell me what's going on here? -- Sir Chester/Gurtarg's Axes (447) Ronsevan -- I couldn't write a Duelmaster's column until I was sitting upon this the golden throne...now...could I? I can't see into the future that far and it would have been very cocky on my behalf to do such a thing. Hell, even my manager would have been all over my case if I had done such a thing. (smile) Take good care and always pray to your gods before you step onto the sands to duel.... -- Adalius-- wishing you good fortune! 4 August 2005 Ladies and Gentlemen...The Announcement You Have All Been Waiting For Is Here!!!!!!!!
