DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Did you know it was possible to raise your stats more than 3 times in basic? I
have two that were raised 4. What other non-TP in Alastari can say that? Life is
sweet.
Ta da.
Darque
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, JADE MOUNTAIN? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see JAGINRU win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
MATSUMOTO beat JADE BELLE and JADE BELLE lost 6 points. You're breakin' my heart.
And it's out with the old, in with the new, as SUN WEI LO takes the Title and last
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
DRAGONS KEEP, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like MANAGER MUSINGS
avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.
Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, SERNILLAN was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Now look at this. PING HUI challenged
down 17 against SAND DANCERS' ZELORAND. What a weasel! Question now is, will JADE
MOUNTAIN accept this sort of tacky behavior? PING HUI beating ZELORAND. The insult,
the....yech!
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for JADE
MOUNTAIN's morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in JADE MOUNTAIN to get a drink than The Green
Axe! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have
too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad to see the back of this place--

Sun Wei Lo -- You Cad. -- Garth
Sernillan -- You Cad. -- Slugbait
To-Fu Backstabber -- I think I love you. -- Darque
My Manager Musings are not accustomed to 1-2 rounds. They suck big time! (The 1-2
round, I mean.) -- FTF Manager
Chi'en -- One WHAT for Manager Musings? We like diamonds. -- FTF Manager
Slugbait -- Aha! That time, I remembered to bring the rock salt. Gotcha. --
Sernillan
Chamuscar -- Hmm, I can't seem to make out a hue there, so you must be a cry. Sounds
like a fairly, ah, earthy one, too. -- Jade Belle
Matsumoto -- (shaking his head sadly) You big guys, you forget you can't just lean
on your opponent and push him out of the ring. -- Zelorand
Hmm. As introductions to gladiation go, that wasn't bad. Probably a fluke, but what
the hey. -- Korto Lu
