DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
All -- <sigh> Good chair a seeming ocean provided materials. Tha natural effect
incorporating flotsam n' jetsam wif reef-borne encrustations...an craftsmanship
shows. S'no foolin, I can feel itself, through my weight, settlin in with cracks and
creaks an happy groans. S'truth, dem lungers never could set'a throne proper...
fidgetin an scroochin from one side ta tha other. It takes size 19 hams ta really
appreciate tha nuances a comfort an artistry which da Mountain's throne incorporates.
Well folks, it looks like tha age a bashers has jus' about run it's course here,
me bein the remainin holdout. But, I'm a stickler an I think I'ma gonna stickler
around fer a while. Lestways till da tourney. - The Larch, Duelmaster
P.S. (kiddie excursion day visitin da Duelmaster) Okay and ya! [CLUMP CLUMP CLUMP]
it bounces good, too. <grin>
SPY REPORT
Welcome JADE MOUNTAIN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the
fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with
ARDEN? He actually beat LEGALESE's WRIT OF MANDAMUS, and walked away with 22 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at DARK TOADS while they watched ARDEN
clobber WRIT OF MANDAMUS. He lost 16 points and got bruised from objects thrown from
the stands. Try as he might, BEN FRANKLIN wasn't good enough at persuading THE LARCH
to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live
subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, THE JUG O'NAUGHTS! Management must be dealin', as the boys at DARK TOADS
ain't reelin'! THE JUG O'NAUGHTS' mad! What do people see in HABEAS CORPUS? His
10-11-1? LEGALESE ain't talkin', but he's got 66 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't
stick around with a 5-4-0, and HABEAS CORPUS easily took care of LEETOLVINA. Is it
my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Lorana -- Yeah, one dark arena visit then two rapid-fire graduates and my team is
totally different. I have been really fortunate with the replacements I have
received to take the place of my warriors moving out. I believe my next goal for
this game and arena is to graduate every style from Jade Mountain. I have seen 4
styles leave here now, and if she lives, Morganna is a fifth. I have hopes to get an
adept out of a dead tournament and when Morganna graduates, I could see making her
replacement the last style. So after the mailer I could be in a position to have 5
styles graduated here and 5 more warriors of the 5 missing styles. Could be very
exciting. -- TigToad
The Larch -- You do use that axe of yours quite well. I am a bit frustrated at my
graduation as TigToad isn't planning on running me in ADM. Enjoy these days while
they last. -- Nathaniel
Surly Sue -- That's a scary instrument you wield quite effectively. Fortunately, I'm
a bit hardier than some of the others. -- Aria
Still -- I like a variety of bashers. I like a decent wit, at least normal endurance
and good damage. I look for about 10 decise and 10 attack to start, then pray they
learn some more decise. Not all of them do. -- TigToad
Lentiria -- I have to stop making that challenge. Ouch. -- Harold
Woody -- Hey there! You've gone all crazy with the wins of late! That's great, sir!
At this rate you'll have all 14 of those wins in but a few more months. I do hope
you continue on into ADM. You're still my favorite warrior in the game. -- TigToad
Woody -- Are you still around? Bit of a ways to go to make the double-digit club,
but you hang in there...just...don't look to me for any favors anytime soon. --
Marianne
Harold -- Why didn't you learn more? It says here on my job description that
"training young Toads" is part of my work. So...why didn't you learn more? --
Lentiria
Aria -- You didn't need that. You were already capable of using a worthwhile weapon.
And I could have taught you many things. -- Leetolvina
Marianne Kind -- So I wasn't feeling like Mr. Nice Guy today, so sue me. -- Woody the
unexpectedly truculent
Morganna -- Like I'm going to forget one among so many? -- Essina tyl Vern
Allocution -- Heck. But still, our manager went 9-6 today, most of it elsewhere, and
is reasonably satisfied. So we get pie with our dinner and all is fine. Thank you
for the attack skill. Maybe I can think of something to do with it by next time. --
Tiba tyl Dain
TigToad -- "Isle"? Didn't the map ever reach you? Jade Mountain stands on the brink
of a mountain range to rival the Rockies. -- Lorana
P.S. Or had Ian been celebrating already?
Pinky of Doom -- But a better diet, more green vegetables, perhaps, might fix that.
-- Lentiria

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
