DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Duelmistress Column DM 81
Greetings from this hallowed throne. As it happens, farewells are in order as well.
It is a shame that anyone who finds a dirty feather laying on the ground can pick it
up and pretend to be a journalist. Funniest's Spy Report was, as is typical of the
well-named Yellow Press of Shadowspire, long on slant and short on facts. The only
thing that was shining from on high was the iron tip of my spear. Also, please
endeavor to get your genders straight in your rag. Wowzer, you made a mess of your
trousers!
Captain Fizz, I salute you. Well fought and I was fortunate to squeak out a win.
If I don't find myself summoned to face Hominid for Lord British's death, I plan to
throw the challenge gauntlets towards Ring Lardner as the most deserving of a shot.
Looking over my accomplishments in Shadowspire prior to departing, I harken back
fondly to the slaughter of Race Baiter on my second fight. If there's one thing I
can't abide, it's race baiting.
Your Duelmistress,
Rutu Parna
SPY REPORT
Welcome back to Shadowspire! It has been an interesting two weeks leading up to
our 313TH turn on these glorious sands! Old teams have returned, new teams have gone
inactive, and no one is still quite sure what that aroma is on the western side of the
arena. It is near the gladiator pens, which are not known for their flowery aroma,
but this is different! Either a sewage pipe has burst and is yet to be found or
someone buried a dead horse too close to the arena in a shallow grave, but I digress!
You stink, but we still had fights, so let's take a look at them!
Rutu Parna left us for the Isle after a defeating the returning Gamble of The
Mothership 011. Congrats to Rutu on immortality. With his departure, we needed to
crown a new Duelmaster. This has been happening a lot as of late. We get a
Duelmaster and he or she gets invited to the Isle on the same turn. Rinse and repeat.
Rinse and repeat. You get the idea? The title fight became the match between Savage
of Wicked Martyrs and the newly returned Ring Lardner of Literate Loons. It wasn't
even close as Ring Lardner becomes our newest Duelmaster. He will be the Loons first
Duelmaster since Gertrude Stein on turn 204. The drought between titles is due to a
lengthy inactivity, so it is nice to welcome the Literate Loons back into the games!
Congrats to Ring, Literate Loons, and their manager Sherman!
The most avoided team for 313 is Pray the Gods. They were most avoided by Darque
Ages. Kryptonite from the Oakleaf guild was the most challenged warrior for the turn.
Rhag (1-2-0, 12) issued a challenge to the higher ranked and more experienced
Kryptonite (3-4-1, 29). It was a brutal back and forth fight according to my golem's
report . . . or they ate arena food and chugged ale at Otto's Diner. I'm not sure at
this point, I think something might be off with the golem. Anyway, I am sure that
Rhag won the fight in 3 minutes, so congrats on the victory!
Eight deaths this turn, but only 2 of those happened outside of the Dark Arena.
Of note, Miso Honey of Otto's Diner was sent to the Dark Arena a few turns back and
returned. Otto sent her back again this turn, and while it was a close one, Miso will
not be returning to the Shadowspire sands. With the regular deaths, Frank O'hara is
slain by the hands of Wham! I guess if you have to go, it should be an exciting read
in the spy report! The other death occurred when Jamie Barton repeatedly struck Snake
Eyes with his weapon. I know, I know! I am as shocked as you are that such things can
happen with grown men and women bashing, slashing, and lunging at one another with
handheld weapons!
Time for me to go! The aroma is just too much and I need to get out of here
before I pass out from over-exposure! The arena groundskeeping crew really needs to
step it up and find the source! There really is no excuse for it at this point. I'll
see you ladies and gents next cycle. I'm looking forward to lots of great fights and
hopefully fresher air the next time I see you!
