DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Yaaaaaaaar!
Grimstones here Shadowspire!
Pseudo Dragon, har har, valiant effort kid! I smashed you good with my
warhammer. I really should have a better record than what shows, but it took me a
while to learn the necessary attack skills to beat up on some of you!
I do believe, if I retain the throne for another turn, I should be off to the
isle and on to retirement. Who should I pick on this turn? I do enjoy shrimp and
Yorkeshire Pudding but Vilmar or my old bashing buddy Maimonides look like a more
satisfying matchup.
Where have Tripwire and Grimm run off to? I know on turn #194 we beat up on a
couple of Grimm's guys, but he usually doesn't get to mad when we beat his guys,
afterall I believe he still has a winning record vs the Cult! That margin is
getting slimmer, tho!
Until next week, adios!
Grimstones
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. Now keep the taverns open late
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for OTTO'S DINER, whose 2-3-0 this turn
dropped them by 5 into 8th. Ha! DARQUE AGES turned their 4-1-0 turn into a 2nd
place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit
lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 5-0-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, WARMASTERS, the
Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see GUY DE CHAULIC win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
GERON beat LIME RICKEY and LIME RICKEY lost 16 points. You're breakin' my heart.
MAIMONIDES challenged SHADOWSPIRE's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's
out with the old, in with the new, as MAIMONIDES takes the Title and last week's bar
tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. 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, SHADOWSPIRE?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
SHADOWSPIRE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. OTTO'S DINER the most
avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this
mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was CULT OF BACCHUS. Ha
ha ha ha! MAIMONIDES was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now
was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on
this one, but HAULIN' OATS has challenged up by 27 in an attempt against VILMAR. And
The Warty Toad has banned VILMAR from service until next turn for losing to HAULIN'
OATS and giving him 19 points in the process! Ha! I guess I can give a little
credit to SLIM CHANCE of SOME KINDA HATE for challenging up by 21 to BLINK DOG. SLIM
CHANCE won to get 58 points of recognition.
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. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

The stick figure re-enactment of Sisyphus killing Pertacus was pretty humorous. Well
Played, sir. It was just a pity you had to kill the one and only decent PL I have
ever received in Shadowspire. Back to the drawing board I guess. -- Vanek, Manager
of Warmasters
All -- Where the heck is everybody lately? The forums are quiet. The personal ads

is kind of sad. I guess I'll have to resort to resuming my killing ways to help
raise the excitement levels around here. :) -- Vanek

on your squad this turn are? Lol. -- Vanek
