DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, well, well.... This is exactly the place Jekyll was wanting me to avoid...
being on the throne. Make no mistake about it, a warrior of my considerable skills
and talents deserves to be here, it's just the Boss has plans in April for me in the
Champs Tourney which I don't understand...after all I am the Champ now. So at any
rate, my first Defense of the throne will be my last fight here in Jade until April
when I go off to the Tourney and the Isle at the same time. So I will defend this
throne with the honor and class it has so desperately been missing since the last
time the Boss got one of us to occupy Jade's throne. As I look at the list of
pretenders I see Sam, a Quarter, something Wonderful, a filthy Toad, and of course a
Sand Dancer. It appears that Woody is on a mission to get to 100 losses so I will be
more than happy to aid him in that quest.
Yerix
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JADE MOUNTAIN,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! MASTERS OF SIN had cause to celebrate, after
WRATH got 24 points by beating VOLTO LEENI. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which,
TABATAN was winsome, after beating ARIA and seeing her lose 15 points. A certain
someone saw YERIX at The Green Axe with the shakes, and now he fails to show up to
defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! Now I can't insult WOODY, as he has
gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on
too thick) So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging
dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Does FIFTH QUARTER care so little for their fallen comrade, GYHARD? ARIA was heard
at The Green Axe sneering... Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will
pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. JADE MOUNTAIN, I leave you now. The
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Green Axe. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny
Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Yerix -- You do that just to be mean, don't you? I figured I could hang out here for
years teaching new gladiators how it goes, and now they tell me that I'll be forced
out at one hundred fights even if I DON'T have fourteen wins, and you want to see me
go with fewer. I can tell. You want me to go at 12-88, don't you? -- Woody the
bitter because he won't be able to beat Life of Osksi now
The Cornithian -- What have YOU got to be paranoid about? -- Treenva Taral
Footsteps -- Now, THAT was scary. I was standing there in the middle of the arena
waiting for an opponent to show up, and I heard these FOOTSTEPS behind me, and before
I could turn around--WHAMMO! Ouch. -- Arnal Redaxe
Anne -- You're an amazing student. -- Tabatan
John Michael -- May your warts have warts. -- Volto Leeni
12 January 2005
On Jhans turn number 476 (due on Feb. 16, 2005) the Second Annual kLk St. Valentine's
Massacre Kill Contest will begin. The rules are simple; the team with the most kills
on the last turn wins. Last year's winner was Shocking Toad. Can he repeat? Could
DOOMcorps crush all challengers? Will the kLk prevail? Or will you be the
independent manager to show that alliances aren't all that? Come on to Jhans and
let's find out!
Prizes are: 1st. Renaming of a Dark Arena monster and five roll-up
certificates or $25.00 deposited in your account.
2nd. Renaming of a Stand-In monster.
Come on and celebrate the Delarquan way!
