DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Quincy Watts, Duelmaster emeritus of Jade Mountain. Has a nice ring to it, one
more win to go! I've always been known for being fast, but the idea of me being
outta here in 20 fights is crazy. Basically Zalgor told me to wait for the fight to
start and advance on my opponent as quickly as possible, try to "cut them to shreds
without killing them" and I'd be fine. So here I am, expecting a bye in my last
fight as my manager wants to get old Rod up here next turn when I'm gone. Good luck
with that! Old Rod can barely attack! Tough guy to hit though so I guess to each
his own.
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. I could not but notice the fine
record for KIWI CONNECTIONS (3-1-0) after their first round of combat. May the gods
of war favor you in JADE MOUNTAIN! KASTENMAR caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ROD DEDEAUX and was awarded 24 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KASTENMAR put down ROD
DEDEAUX, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. Although KORTO
LU made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious JAGUAR
JON. 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In JADE MOUNTAIN "art" is a word that
has long since passed from the language!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? 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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Quincy Watts 16(2)-7(1)-9-11-21-12-11 SL, Good Endurance and Damage, Scimitar fave
with High/Very Low rhythm. He always ran favorites after minute 1, but was only 2-2
in fights lasting that long... go figure. The first of five originals, I've never
graduated all five before so that's the goal here... it'll take almost as long as the
2nd goal for the team I imagine, graduating all 10 styles before the second of any
style is graduated. Should be interesting. -- Zalgor Prigg
Are stand-ins anything more than sparring matches with the off chance for extreme
embarrassment? -- Jaguar Jon
Not really.
Korto Lu -- My best friend and mentor outside of the Trojan stables! I may be an old
coach past his prime, but you and I always seem to reminisce for long minutes before
deciding our matches. Always so insightful you are! My manager, Zalgor, wishes me
to attain the throne this turn, I'm hoping we can meet again afterwards for a
celebration should it come to pass. -- Rod Dedeaux
Jade Ring -- I'm really, really happy that you graduated... I mean, congratulations!
Teaching you that last Riposte skill was the smartest thing I've ever done. I do
appreciate the return on investment as well, good luck on the Isle! -- Debbie Green
Sunset Thunder -- I'm the only one on our team willing to challenge you expecting a
win. Honestly I don't understand the fuss, and you teach so well to the average
intellect. Winning six out of seven doesn't hurt the confidence either! -- Quincy
Watts
Kastenmar -- You know, I wonder sometimes why I bother... 6-3-2 against my favorite
opponents and they die on me. I can't seem to beat anyone else, and by anyone else I
mean you! At least teach me something (wait, am I a Trojan or a Sand Dancer?). --
Cheryl Miller
Quincy Watts -- No surprise there. Damn. I was up for a surprise. -- Jade Ring
Jaguar Jon -- Bah. -- Sunset Thunder
Rod Dedeaux -- Pfui. -- Korto Lu
Debbie Green -- So laugh. See if I care. -- Kastenmar
Hmm. Not bad. -- Lensi Tu
So! A Tourney Champion in the Eligibles! Our congratulations to Samurai. -- Jorja
and the Sand Dancers
