DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
In the hope that while we're late, we're not TOO late, I offer a brief note or two.
I'm pleased to have defeated Gothic, humiliating for me if I had not, and the loss
will do him no harm. Plus, he gets four skills. Don't worry about that insurance
policy, Gothic. It's a snare and delusion in the end. Insurance agents never tell
you about the fine print, where it says, "Not for injuries acquired in the arena."
Bah.
-- Chi Ho
SPY REPORT
Good day, in JADE MOUNTAIN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets
poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can
make the difference, as SWORD FOR HIRE is pushed out of top team by SAND DANCERS, who
came from 2nd with a 4-1-1 this turn. And let's see, HAN KI fought STONEFACE MIKARN
and gained 12 points and contributed to SAND DANCERS' 4-1-1. BLACK ICE has lost to
BARRELS, falling 2 points, while helping make SWORD FOR HIRE a 1-4-0 turn. Defending
his title for another turn, CHI HO kept SWORD FOR HIRE's warrior, GOTHIC, from
claiming the throne. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at The Green Axe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the WRATHMEN stable was the most avoided
team this turn. Come on JADE MOUNTAIN, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
WRATHMEN 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. This is not good to see. Why pray tell has RON RHINO been sent to the Dark
Arena by U IS FOR UNGULATE? And why with a 3-1-0 record?? U IS FOR UNGULATE has
some questions to answer. Like 'why did you kill your fighter, PETE PRONGHORN, who
had a record of 3-0-0?' Hearty mugs of ale were raised in JADE MOUNTAIN today as
GOTHIC was bid farewell to a 7-4-0 warrior, with CHI HO of SAND DANCERS standing
silent and pensive. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to
cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, JADE MOUNTAIN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Chi Ho -- Good job. Congrats on winning the title. -- Gothic
Jorja -- On behalf of Quiet Loner, I thank you for your congrats on his graduation.
After last week's fight, he left quickly, unexpectedly, and without a word. He didn't
even write a Dulemaster's Column, as instructed. I don't know, some people you can
reach, others you can't. He's a great fighter, but has some demons to work out. --
Angus McSweords, mgr. Sword for Hire
Talk to Death -- I had to hurry-up and win the fight. If it went any longer, you would
have talked me to death. A little less conversation, a little more action next time.
-- Renaissance
One third of Mr. Loner's attacks with a dagger were criticals, one third of his
attacks with his bare hands were criticals. So, of course, he got that most impressive
of weapons as his favorite, the short spear. -- Angus McSweords
Full Force -- It would have been courteous of you to hold yourself to HALF force in
sympathy for my aging bones, you know. -- Rumbler
Ron Rhino -- I know orcs have a certain reputation, but a lady expects better ANYWAY.
-- Lady Chao
Tom Tapir -- Does it hurt when your eyes blaze? -- Han Ki
And a standby for me. I always like that. -- Hotdog
