DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A slight strategy tweak from our first fight enabled me to get past the Mighty
Assault, in what was easily the most entertaining fight of my career, definitely ADM
caliber and could have easily gone the other way, as the dodges and parries abounded
on both sides. Who knows what will happen when I'm gone, but I wouldn't bet on MA
losing another fight.
With my invitation to immortality in hand, I'm going to do something this turn
that will most likely make me a standing pincushion; that is, following the advice of
the Eye's trainers and using their suggested strategy and weapon. I don't see it
working, but since I'll never fight again, and death isn't a concern, I'm going to
give it a whirl.
Good luck to either Karasendrieth or Mighty Assault, whomever gets the chance.
I'll be waiting for you.
-- K.O.
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. VICIOUS SLASH caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CHI HO and was awarded 23
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, QUIET LONER put down
BARRELS, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Although
KARASENDRIETH made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious K.O.. Would you believe that over half of the old women in JADE MOUNTAIN
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. CRITICALS is feared. This much I
can say. Apparently the stalwarts of SWORD FOR HIRE are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after BARRELS. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one
reward--death. This past week KARASENDRIETH, at 11-13-1, departed JADE MOUNTAIN
forever. KARASENDRIETH, may you forever slay thy enemies with impunity as you did
STONE CUTTER. Are there none left in SAND DANCERS who hold honor as a virtue? 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? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
