DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hello again, everybody! Once more, I write to you from the Throne of Lin Tirian's
arena!!
This column will be brief, and is mostly to announce that Lethal Heritage will be
going inactive temporarily. Lord Xiang plans on returning to the sands in no more
than two or three cycles. Let us hope his vision is true. Until then,
Swords High!!
Vlad
Your Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of LIN TIRIAN! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with MAGIC? He
actually beat THE LEGENDS' STAN, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at THE LEGENDS. STAN lost 12 points to MAGIC. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe STAN will provide more easy wins... Har har har! Did VLAD wimp out,
or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore. I'm sure LIN TIRIAN is
excited about MIRIAL STEEL, the new Duelmaster from SAND DANCERS. (remember?) But
when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to
practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...
Warriors of LIN TIRIAN unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. LIN
TIRIAN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Magic -- Ah, but what you have to ask yourself is, what KIND of magic, eh? Some is
just not for the sands. The ability to produce colored handkerchiefs from you
sleeve, for instance, and pull rabbits out of your helm? Eschew it. Here, at least.
At the tavern afterward, maybe it'd go down well...if people aren't too drunk. --
Chalbaeg
Vlad -- (sigh) I'd train my CN, if I had any WL. As it is, I just hang on. --
Jigger Kree
P.S. Thanks for the column.
Clint -- But...you shouldn't be ABLE to do that! How could you knock me down? I
thought you were a gentleman! -- Shana the Knife
Khalhums Dwarf? I forehear a diatribe against "rash assumptions" coming.... --
Mirial Steel
Aidan -- One step at a time, eh? -- Jigger Kree
Dennis Johnson -- Is that any way to treat a poor, broken-down, old dwarf who's just
trying to make the price of another meal? I ask you, is that decent, kind,
thoughtful, or forward-looking? No, it is not, and when you next walk down an alley
and find yourself kneecapped, you'll know who to thank. -- Ghost of one Persistent
Beggar
Dean -- "Bested"? I think NOT. More like "worsted." -- a disgruntled not-really-
Osksian Noble
Sammy -- They don't let me do it MY way here in the arena. Want to have a go in the
alley? -- Vorgald, genuinely Dangerous Criminal
Mirial Steel -- Oh, they WILL do it, won't they? "All dwarves are from Khalhums,"
they say. "And even if you aren't, nobody but another dwarf will know the
difference." Do they think we don't CARE? That we have no PRIDE? Gods, I hate
them! -- Khorharkhdhav of Khra

All -- I am looking for able bodied warriors, magic-wielding wizards, faith-healing
clerics, and quick-handed thieves to begin a quest requested by the Emperor of the
Southern Kingdom of Crailmia. All interested parties can diplo me in arena 93 --
Noblish Island, c/o Will-O-Wisps (1422) or write to me at -- Robert Bennett, 317173,

BROTHER KNIGHTS OF THE DESOLATE EMPIRE -- Hail brothers where ever you are to be
found! We are engaging in arena 31. Let them feel our wrath. Onward to glory!!! --

10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
