DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Warriors and Managers of Shadowspire.
What an unexpected and joyful result to be your Duelmaster even if it turns out to be
for just one cycle. Not that I want to be removed from the throne it's just looking
down there is a ton of FE just below me. It would truly be a feat if I could hold
the Title for the historic 50th turn of Shadowspire, I mean come on, besides Master
Darque and my manager DeGotti, who is going to remember who was Duelmaster on turn
#49? At least if it's on turn 50 a couple more folks might remember.
The Mad Ratter, what can I say? Thanks for the opportunity to fight for the throne.
It's a bit wacky how far you fell in the rankings! I mean, I am not that bad of a
warrior am I? Come on give us bashers some credit would ya?
As for challenges...hmmm. Do I go for the logical bloodfeud of Tyra? It is a decent
match up for me style wise! But that Kellumbo, might be expecting my challenge to go
there so instead I am going after Nightbane!
Oh yeah, Swinetiger sent a message to DeGotti to remind me to leave something here
for the Duelmasters that follow in my footsteps. I think I will leave the wine stein
I had made up to signify my time here on the throne! It has a remarkable portrait of
me and says Shadowspire's Duelmaster of the 49th cycle.
Well, it's time for me to suit up and grab my trusty bashing weapon and attempt to
see what color Nightbane is on the inside!
Yours Truly,
Karch
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SHADOWSPIRE. I couldn't believe it. Did
RODENT CLAN really go up by 12? If only those guys didn't have so may missing
teeth... Gross! DARQUE AGES had like a really albendranius week! Those hunks got a
5-0-0 and wound up as 10th team! What was the name of that team who got 5-0-1 this
turn for a total 149-101-5 you ask? (Sure) DRAGONBANE GUILD's their name, and
fighting's their game! MVP award for GRON DA CAVEMAN? DRAGONBANE GUILD's proud of
him after beating WARG and getting 39 points. Talk about yer big time losers! MARY
ELLEN got smashed by SYE THE BEARDED, and lost 20 points! BRUTUS thinks his 12-11-0
and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? This
Duelmaster is like something else! KARCH stopped BRUTUS dead in his tracks! Who was
the wiseguy that said SHADOWSPIRE's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Welcome
Wench? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? KELLUMBO'S KIDS was the most
avoided team. Is a 156-94-3 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors
are LA PENTARCHIE? KELLUMBO'S KIDS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't
get them to accept an invitation! Can AMERICAN MUSCLE's '69 STINGRAY be more popular
than me? She was challenged the most, but is that really the same? For sure, I was
holding my breath when I found out WYLD WYTCH challenged HYDROSAN. After all,
haven't UNHOLY KNIGHTS and GOONSWARM had a long standing duel in SHADOWSPIRE? It
wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but HYDROSAN wants me to write about it
since he was subdued by WYLD WYTCH. Satisfied? HUNTER must not be a good enough
fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged INDIA. 15 is a big difference. (Well,
that's what they tell me.) I thought HUNTER showed great skill and promise when he
lost to INDIA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? GRON DA CAVEMAN of DRAGONBANE GUILD wasn't planning on killing WARG, I
bet. Now he has to worry about being Bloodfeuded, and getting put on lists... Like
was that some Bloodfeud, or what? (WILHELM vs. REMEDIAL, that is.) Fight, fight,
fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Greetings from the Mothership!! I look forward to crossing blades with you all. --
Floyd
Well, I liked while it lasted. Today it's the day to take a bow to the iron men of
Kellumbo, but I am still lurking in the shadow of the throne. I'll be back! -- Le
Pentarque
Dominatrix and Desiree -- Sorry about that, but it's about DCing and avoiding...some
practical thinking. -- Rat-Loving Cat, a real Rat
Good luck to the Baron and Long Nose: who will be the last to stay?
I didn't mind, Gentleben, English can be tricky for me, so I guess that French must
be a lot more so for most managers! -- Le Pentarque
Managers -- Don't let the scums override your backyard! Do something, get the right
guys to clean the mess!! -- Le P.
Iron Council -- You're being put on notice. Since Kellumbo has decided to mouth off
and be your spokesperson you will all suffer his same fate. The intimidation tactics
and singling out of managers hasn't gone unnoticed. There's way more of us than you.
-- We
Deadtear -- You taught me more skills than anyone else, so thanks for that. The loss
I could have done without. Ben has been talking to me about fighting at night. He
told me to think about it.... -- Soulripper
Hydrosan -- Nice challenge, but watch your back. -- Death's Mistress
P.S. Why couldn't you teach more skills; you're all take take take.
Gracchus -- You will not be so lucky next time. -- Decapitated Bill
Volbeat -- Imagine that, another scum. Your manager is nothing if not predictable.
I hope he took a good insurance policy on you. -- Gentleben
Volbeat -- Perhaps you didn't understand when I said I love kids. I meant I love
them on toast, or in a soup and sometimes as a topping for a salad. -- Wyld Wytch
Punch Card -- Interesting fight. I look forward to the rematch. -- Wee Beastie
(formerly known as Wee Merlot)
Iron Council -- Four to zero in your favor, for now. -- Unholy Knights
Warg -- A smart challenge on your part. -- Chromian
Philip K. Dick -- A very bad challenge on my part! Sigh! That's what happens when
you blind challenge someone! -- Baltaire
I would like to introduce Meda to you all! She is as beautiful as a sunset on the
ocean! From her light brown hair with golden highlights to her big blue eyes and
thin, athletic body. She truly is a modern goddess! -- DeGotti
Congrats to the Baron and Long Nose Hairs for their invites. Is Xiang even paying
attention anymore? Also congrats to Import Export for his Lord Protectorship! --
DeGotti
Tyra -- So have you decided to give up your scumming ways? Nice fight. The skills I
learned were worth the bruises you gave me! -- Brutus
Tabitha -- Thank you! -- Wilhelm
Uncut -- I am stunned, to say the least. I am not sure how you've bested me twice,
but congrats on two fine fights on your part. I guess the first win wasn't a fluke
after all. -- Liberius the Humbled
Po'd Panda -- Glad to see you're back and your manager has decided to hang around a
little longer. It just wouldn't have been the same around here without you furry
little brutes. -- Vanek, manager of Warmasters
Kind of sad to see three of the old timers leaving. Good luck to the Baron, Import
Export, & Long Nose Hairs. Now if we could only get rid of some of these scum
clogging up the top of the standings! Gron da Caveman must be licking his chops! --
Vanek
Crimson -- The challenge strat makes all the difference! -- Lord Protector Baron
Stonewall (Gotta love the sound of that! Finally!)
Edward Gorey, Gutenburg, Sponge Bath and Borne -- With the Long Hairy Nose and myself
heading off to the Isle, we leave you as the last of the turn one warriors that have
yet to miss a turn. Sadly, Gutenburg seems likely to miss. Who shall be the last to
remain in Shadowspire? Not I! -- Lord Protector Baron Stonewall
Black Maria -- I keep learning things from these fights, but alas, I keep losing
them! Almost. -- Gron
Tin Snips -- Well, that didn't take long. -- Spirewolf
Long Nose Hairs -- Congratulations on your graduation. I can't say I'm pleased to
have been the cause of it on this turn, but it is well deserved. -- Balliol Blackmoon
9 Gerbillimeter -- That name is a real mouthful! Not bad endurance either. I really
feel a need to get that first win out of the way! -- Wormy
Fuchi Owned -- Have you noticed that you have sent poor BOB to his death eight times?
-- Gentleben
Bob -- I think it's time you find a new friend. -- Gentleben
