DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My manager is so old fashioned. He speaks of gladiators paying their dues by
toiling away in Challenger Champions for a few turns before earning the right to fight
for the title of Duelmaster. For those of us that make the jump from the Champions
section to Duelmaster, he believes, there are dues that haven't been paid, experience
and skills that haven't been earned and learned, and we will soon get our comeuppance
in a most egregious way.
I can't speak to any of that. I can only go out there, defend the title when
asked, and give my opponent as much hell as I can muster from the safe side of my
blade. Fate gave me a title shot last turn and Fate will determine who my opponent
will be this turn.
Skill, Luck, Fate. Hopefully, they won't conspire with Destiny to do me dirty.
-- Jina tyl Ray
Duelmistress of Jade Mountain
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt JADE MOUNTAIN will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as APOKOLIPS is pushed out of top team by SWORD FOR HIRE, who came from
2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. And let's see, VICIOUS SLASH fought CHI HO and gained 14
points and contributed to CRITICALS' 2-0-0. RUMBLER has lost to STONEFACE MIKARN,
falling 17 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 0-5-0 turn. We should ask
BARRELS about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a
warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at The Green Axe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. CRITICALS has cause to stand tall, as
they were JADE MOUNTAIN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding CRITICALS more than any other team we find SWORD FOR HIRE. JADE
MOUNTAIN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in JADE MOUNTAIN and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in JADE MOUNTAIN again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
