DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
This was not what I expected for my graduation-notice fight. A match with a
standby? And Lady Scorn, at that. Gods, I hate that guy. He dresses up in all
those layers of skirts, paints his face even though it won't SHOW through the
standby's mask-helm (and don't even get me STARTED on the mask!), and then he...he
SIMPERS at me over his blade. I hate him.
Arnal Redaxe
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly JADE MOUNTAIN games. TREENVA TARAL caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested CAPTAIN MONDINOR and was
awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, FOOTSTEPS
put down SHORT ROCK, causing him to lose 2 points of recognition in the process. Not
for nothing has ARNAL REDAXE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and
this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city JADE MOUNTAIN.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Strange what qualities come forth in the
face of certain doom. MONKEY KING has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena
victory! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is
only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! 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.--

PERSONAL ADS
Dowd -- Do you HAVE to wear that totally DRAB outfit? It was enough to turn my
stomach. Blah brown, blah green, blah gray. Blah. -- Treenva Taral
Vern -- I wish you heralded something vernal. Not that I mind SNOW, but I really
mind SHOVELING. -- Donal Pines
P.S. They TELL me it's good for building up my upper body strength. Huh. They'd
say ANYTHING to get someone else to shovel the snow.
Old Stoneface was no match for ME. Ha. -- Short Rock
Lord Protector Arnal Redaxe -- Lands are available on the usual terms. Which is to
say, you take a piece of disputed property on the border and live on and defend it
for ten years, then the title is made over to you. Of the lands currently available,
I would recommend those north of Dal Shang, as there seems to be a congregation of
Lord Protectors up there at the moment, and it is always good to have reliable
backup. -- Arenamaster Kendar ten Lucan
P.S. And you cannot count on the local population for backup in a pinch. If they
were prepared to defend the area, the border wouldn't be in dispute.

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
