DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Day of glory!
Good luck to the sturdy Anvil in the Land of immortals. As far as I'm
concerned, I am still a brittle thing, but I'm enthusiastic, even if my cold-hearted
manager is more interested by the team ratio than by glorious titles. Luck was on my
side, and I beat my little counterpart to the supreme title. I had a difficult
start, having a long body and a heavy brain, with about nothing under, then my
shortsword started to seek blood by herself, and victories came.
As a testimony of my probably short stay up there, I will leave a sunflower,
long-stemmed, heavy-headed, and blessed under the sun.
The Tall Cat
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
SHADOWSPIRE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, LA PENTARCHIE, since
OF WOLF AND MAN took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If The
Warty Toad is buying drinks for LITERATE LOONS' good turn, I'm afraid the place will
be dry before long. A 4-1-0 makes for a big thirst. Why not, I'm having a good day,
so I feel sorry for HOUSE OF HEARTS, who went 0-4-0 and dropped 12 into 21st. Here's
my pity, for what it's worth. Now let's all watch AARP's heads swell from their
4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all
terribly impressed to see NATTY LIGHT win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, PLAGUENOG beat MCBAIN and MCBAIN lost 15 points. You're breakin' my heart.
KRYSTA challenged SHADOWSPIRE's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety
is the spice of life, SHADOWSPIRE may be getting bland, as THE BIG CAT stays top dog
in the city. The Warty Toad, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do
they get this stuff? From SHADOWSPIRE's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? KELLUMBO'S KIDS 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 CLAN IRONFIST. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, ANGRENDRAUG was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch
that ego swell, sports fans. THAG was challenged by one of KELLUMBO'S KIDS' warriors
this turn, with DEANA having a lead of 19 points going into the fight. Question now
is, will SHADOWSPIRE accept this sort of tacky behavior? DEANA beating THAG. The
insult, the....yech! Now here's guts and stupidity all rolled into one, BARON
STONEWALL challenged up 42 to take on NUYEN NICK of FUCHI OWNED. Not that I'm
surprised or anything, but BARON STONEWALL lost to NUYEN NICK, leaving the latter
lower for recognition points. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one,
but BRENDAN BEHAN has challenged up by 33 in an attempt against ANGRENDRAUG. Well,
ok, the upstart knave (where've I heard that before?) won this match and gained 27
points to boot! Ha ha ha, ANGRENDRAUG. I notice FALSE TEETH challenging down 30
points to fight RYAK RAZORSAW, AARP doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an
insult to honor. And golly gee, FALSE TEETH bested RYAK RAZORSAW. Aren't we all
surprised and impressed? Now look at this. DOMINATRIX challenged down 20 against D2
MIGHTY DUCKS' DUCK DODGERS. What a weasel! And sorry to say, DOMINATRIX killed DUCK
DODGERS, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term
I'm looking for.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... BALDSPOT, a
glorious 10-9-2 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad AARP. And what a stunning
loss we have here, boys and girls, DUCK DODGERS of D2 MIGHTY DUCKS has added the
final loss to his 1-7-0. Tee hee! A big yahoo goes out to FLOR this turn, for
revenging CULT OF BACCHUS' bloodfeud against CLAN IRONFIST's warrior GARTH IRONFIST.
Heh, heh, heh. It's about time SLAUGHTER MOUSE 5 got beat for picking on warriors
like HORSE. Bravo, BATTLE GRUNTS. See you at The Warty Toad. Honor is like a
chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless
rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in SHADOWSPIRE to get a drink than The Warty
Toad! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have
too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Damned -- The two leaders seem unstoppable...my guys win, win again, but Kellumbo and
Nomad are still ahead. How long could we keep on winning? -- Le Pentarque
Cyrus -- You are too modest. You could have won this.... -- The Small Cat
Our common story with the Baron Stonewall is going on: nice change of armor! You
got me.... -- Le Pentarque
American Muscle -- My apologies for the Daytona. Death is always a possibility in
this profession, but I can honestly say it was not my goal. '69 Daytona was a good
warrior. I await your bloodfeud. -- Gron da Caveman
'69 Charger -- There was no intent to target your team last turn, you were simply
available challenges that looked winnable. Thanks for sending me off to the Isle
with a winning record. -- Lord Protector, Anvil Ironfist
Import-Export -- At least you gave me a chance to keep your team from gaining on us.
You guys just won't go away. Perhaps more head-to-head matches would clear things up
a bit. -- Baron Stonewall
Liath -- Did I really win that fight that easily? When I saw you lumber out I was
worried. Somehow, I think luck was on my side. -- Hardrada
Chupacabron -- Just being a veteran isn't always enough. -- Alanna Wyrmclaw
Swinetiger -- Thanks for the notice, my team and I appreciate it. We hope to see your
rodents return to the sands quickly. -- Anvil Ironfist and the rest of the Guild
Perfect Poremba -- Ok, I'll admit when I'm wrong. I thought your first victory over
me was a lucky fluke. The second fight proved it wasn't. Congratulations on a nice
win! -- Lutherius
AARP -- I hope you don't hold too big a grudge against me for killing Preparation H.
I mean, he challenged me! -- Scarro
Morte D'Amour -- Congrats on a fine victory over Kiryk. He assured me he could
exploit the style match up against you. I guess we can safely say you proved him
wrong...dead wrong! -- Vanek, Manager of the Warmasters
Anvil Ironfist -- Congrats on one hell of a career here in Shadowspire! Your record
was truly impressive. I have no doubt you could have rivaled American Muscle's
record for consecutive turns on the throne had you not graduated to ADM. -- Vanek
Congrats to Le Pentarchie on an impressive three turn run and to The Big Cat for his
ascension to the throne! -- Vanek

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....
