DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Whoa! How did I get here? Well, I walked onto the sands, expecting to fight a
standby. And who walks on to the sands to fight me?! Duelmaster Darque! Aargh!
What is this! I'm not ready for a title fight. I'm being set up. "No my child.
You follow the True Path." Who said that? "I am your Master." I have only one
Master. My Lord Kjarran rules over me. "I am you Lord Kjarran and you are my
Servant. You will do as I ask." Kjarran? Oh my, ask of me what you will and I will
obey. "Do not fear the Duelmaster. She is unfit and a heathen. You are to take the
throne from her. Furthermore, you are to take her head and offer it to me as a
sacrifice." As you will my Lord.
My Lord Kjarran was right. Duelmaster Darque did little more than defend
herself. And she did that poorly. Now I sit on the throne. I have only one regret.
Darque's head is still attached to her body. My Lord Kjarran has spoken and it will
be done

Servant of Kjarran
Hue and Cry
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in JADE MOUNTAIN this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, MANNEQUIN fought JAGIELIO
DAMASK and gained 14 points and contributed to MANAGER MUSINGS' 4-0-0. SERNILLAN has
lost to SOULTAKER, falling 9 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 1-4-0 turn.
GARTH challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone HUE AND
CRY's warrior. And not without some honor, GARTH now claims the title and throne of
Duelmaster of JADE MOUNTAIN. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top
team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Green Axe until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the HUE AND CRY stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on JADE MOUNTAIN, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
HUE AND CRY more than any other team we find MANAGER MUSINGS. JADE MOUNTAIN, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was SAND DANCERS' warrior SERNILLAN. More fighters challenged her than
challenged the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that JADE MOUNTAIN has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in JADE MOUNTAIN, but never good to wear out
my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Darque -- It's disheartening. You can't even be considered a darque horse, everyone
expects you to win from the beginning. -- Sernillan
Jagielio Damask -- I looked at the match and thought, "someone here hates me." Then
I turned it over and found out I won! What a shock. -- Jade Belle
Hozha Odemis -- You were all puffy. I was just trying to help you deflate. -- Kortu
Lu
Ah, the standbys, and by my bad luck, the worst of them all. A Dangerous Criminal if
I ever saw one! -- Zelorand
Ang Hsu Yu -- I hadn't actually been aiming there, you know. If you weren't such a
shorty, I'd've gotten you in the leg. -- Jaginru
Ping Hui -- Darned if I know, but the Commission seems to think all cats are prone to
wander. And a lot of the ones I've known, mainly male, I admit, are. -- Zelorand
Zagwe Banshee -- Duelmaster, you showed me who was really jaded! A salute to you on
a winning and more skillful battle. -- Darque
Sernillan -- Well, I, for one, am glad you are here. -- Garth
Zagwe -- And I apparently deserved it! -- Slugbait
Team -- This joviality and 1-1's are completely unacceptable! -- FTF Manager
Korto Lu -- That armor isn't doing you much good. -- Jagielio Damask
Jade Belle -- There are chinks in your armor. -- Hozha Odemis
Zelorand -- I hate it when the Arenamaster stops a fight! -- Chamuscar
Jaginru -- The next time the Arenamaster interferes in one of my fights, I'm going to
run my weapon through him. -- Thia Arigo
Garth -- Yeahyeahyeah. Go. Or stay, for that matter, but not HERE. -- Sernillan
Jagielio Damask -- Not my kind of fabric at all. The floating threads snag whenever
I try to go through a bit of brush. -- Korto Lu
Chamuscar -- I hate it when something like that happens. They stick me in a bed in a
corner, get in a bunch of lame musicians to play "soothing tunes" for me, and feed me
stuff that the veriest babe in arms would find boring. Mush! And it wasn't my mouth
that got hit, so what's the deal? -- Zelorand
Thia Arigo -- (interested look) You busy tonight? I figure, you getting the win,
you should be in a good mood, right? And I'm enormously attractive, the Commission
says so (they should know, shouldn't they?). So...dinner. -- Jaginru
P.S. For a beginning.
Hozha Odemis -- You're too tall. It's intimidating. -- Jade Belle
FtF Manager -- Do I get an accolade for being over a thousand losses in this arena?
-- Jorja
Jagiello Damask -- How hostile of you. -- Jade Belle
Hozha Odemis -- No! Do you think I'm crazy? -- Kortu Lu
