DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Egads! I forgot my column last turn. I do so apologize. This will be the last DM
column I write for my home arena, however, since I am off to the Isle. Despite my
record, I have only lost to a single warrior: Redd. He has given me my three
losses, and one of my victories, as well.
I leave to Vlad the legacy of Lethal Heritage in Lin Tirian, City of Lights. I
predict he, too, shall graduate when he achieves five more victories. Which, with
his record, probably means 13 more fights. *sigh* He has two political points as it
stands. I just wish I could give him my excess ones. I have almost 50, I believe.
Nobody can dispute my claim to dominance here, not with near 50pp. Had I not met up
with Redd, I could have gone the whole way undefeated. I happened along my fav
weapon, the WH, right from the start. I have a Decise Tactic fav as well, which, of
course, served me well.
Drinks are on me this fine day, and only at the Lost Hope Inn!
Swords High!!
Your Duelmaster,
Lord Protector Aiden
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LIN TIRIAN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, LETHAL HERITAGE, since THE
LEGENDS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Middle of the road,
OLD SCHOOL BALL, middle of the road; you'll get no good words from me, until you get
better, or worse. Break a leg. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BIRD
win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SHANA THE KNIFE beat SAMMY and
SAMMY lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life,
LIN TIRIAN may be getting bland, as AIDEN stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a
very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new,
don't you, LIN TIRIAN?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? THE LEGENDS was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?
Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was LETHAL HERITAGE. Ha ha ha ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the LIN TIRIAN arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide

PERSONAL ADS
Aiden -- Isn't it great to meet old friends on the sands? But...wouldn't it be
greater to meet NEW friends on the sands? We need some recruiting here. Tell your
manager to pull his socks up and get to it. -- Jigger Kree
P.S. We can't even get OUR manager to recruit a fifth warrior for the team. It's
the pits.
Clint -- Oooh, you had a steely-eyed clint when you came at me, and that really
scared me! -- Mirial Steel
P.S. Insurance policy? What the heck? I'm an orc, I don't need an insurance
policy, I just call on one of my brothers or cousins and he makes it really clear
what people are supposed to do for me.
Sammy -- Well...that was legendary. Yes, I guess it was. So will it be legendary
when I carve you into juliene strips, too. -- Shana the Knife, not the world's best
loser
Frank -- I got tired. Sue me. -- Chalbaeg
26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe

Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?! If at all possible,
let's get over to 31. I'm on the way. Let's get 'em. -- Dark Knight Osiris
