DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I'm surprised. There I was fighting Spalding, who has almost a third as
many fights as I do, and a manager who pays attention (or there wouldn't have been a
challenge), and what happens? I win! I one-shotted him. That's ridiculous, on the
face of it.
Korba Klee
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. SPIRIT HOUND caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DARSAL THE FALSE and was
awarded 12 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, JUJUBLE
put down BROOKSTONE, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. The
city has turned out in honor of REM, for with hers arena victory she may now lay
claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or
7!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In DAYLA KIV "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition
from those below. GARMON CHANG take warning! You have more than a few enemies in
DAYLA KIV. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
SPALDING posted a challenge against the more highly recognized GARMON CHANG. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SPALDING lost to GARMON CHANG. Remember
warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. I must report the passing of ALARUM,
veteran of many duels. 11-15-1 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays
no favorites. 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

PERSONAL ADS
Brookstone -- Well, hey, you didn't have to THROW the damned stone. -- Lura tyl Zuris
It isn't often a standby manages to teach two useful skills. I'm really glad to know
how to mend pots; I might need a new career any day now. -- Garmon Chang
Robert E. Lee -- Heck, now our records don't match. Unless I win my next and you
lose yours. Try to do that, please. -- Jujuble
I just took the Shameless Beggar and held him upside down by the ankles (he's a
little short guy) and shook him hard, and all kinds of stuff fell out of his pockets.
Including four skills. Not great skills, maybe, but I'll take whatever I can get. --

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
