DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey everybody, Pesto Pete here! Otto hired me about a year ago to try to bring
some classy dishes to the Diner's menu. What's classier than pesto? Nothing, right?
I hope everyone has been enjoying my special touch. Pesto Linguine, Pesto fries,
Chicken Fried Pesto, and my favorite -- Pesto cheesecake! Wash it all down with a
Pesto smoothie and you got yourself one satisfying meal.
Being an employee here at Otto's of course means sooner or later he's going to
shove a sword in your hand and push you into the arena, whether you like it or not. I
wanted to go armed with a big bowl of pesto, but the Arenamaster wouldn't allow it.
So I got this big curved chef's knife instead. Whatever. It's a poor chef that
blames his tools.
Which brings me to last week. Evon, what can I say? You stand there in the
arena looking like a big bunch of basil. Instinct takes over.
And the rest of you bloodfeuding my teammates, I'd urge you to take caution. I
wouldn't hesitate to put you on the menu too, if you get my meaning.
-- Pesto Pete
SPY REPORT
Welcome back to Shadowspire. Huard is still out of the office, so you get me,
Phineas Rannulf, again this turn. It was an exciting one with a few shifts in the
ranks to keep the crowd interested and the gladiators on their toes. Time for us to
take a look at turn 316 and see where the bones fell! That was probably a poor choice
of words for some teams, especially those that lost warriors. Oh well, let's take a
gander at the turn!
Pesto Pete fought his way to the top of the arena last turn and took
Shadowspire's top honor, the Duelmaster's throne! He got the opportunity to defend
the throne against one lucky challenger this turn to prove it was no fluke he was our
champion. He received a challenger from Pooh Scheuer, Shadowspire's top-ranked Aimed
Blow. So, our title match was the arena's top warrior and top Striker versus our top
Aimed Blow. Normally, these types of matchups favor the Striker, especially at this
level, but there is a reason we have the games! It looks like the bookies were right
on this one as Pesto Pete overcame Pooh Scheuer in a 1-minute fight. Congrats once
again to Pete! He also got an invite to the Isle, so congrats to Otto's Diner and
their manager Otto on another graduate. Pesto Pete is the Diner's 20th graduate
overall and 3rd Striker.
The Commodores take over the top spot from Darque Ages. Both teams have 11-4
records over the last few turns, but The Commodores also have a kill to win the tie-
breaker. Wicked Martyrs are the only squad to stay put in the top 5 in 3rd place
again. Cult of Bacchus moved up 2 places to take over 4th. Dyslexic Music had a
sizeable gain of 5 to move into 5th. This ties them with Oakleaf and Big Lake
Solution for the turn's largest gain. The biggest loser for the turn was Otto's
Diner, who despite keeping the throne, fell from 5th to 10th. In fact, the guild's
only win was the title fight for a 1-4-0 turn.
The most avoided team is Big Lake Solution. They were most avoided by Cult of
Bacchus. The most challenged warrior for turn 316 is Samir from the Pray the Gods
guild. Samir may have been the most challenged, but it was Samir that got his
challenge through to Innocent III of Darque Ages. Samir thought he saw something he
could exploit, but he apparently did not pray hard enough. He was beaten by Innocent
III in a 1-minute fight.
I've already expressed my congratulations to Pesto Pete on his imminent departure
from Shadowspire. I also want to extend a "WELL DONE!" to Subpar Sue of Wicked
Martyrs. She too has received an invitation to the Isle of the Eye. Sue is managed
by DMobster and is the 10th graduate from his Wicked Martyrs guild and the 2nd Aimed
Blow. Congrats to you both!
Time for me to go! Huard should be back next turn, but we will see if that
sluggard can make it into the office. If not, I will be here to give you all the news
that is worth mentioning from our lovely arena. Come back next turn and see who takes
over the throne from our departing champion, Pesto Pete!

Stumbling Drunk -- Every drunk I've ever known is slipping from time to time--no need
to judge on my part--but once you hit the stumble point, when's enough enough? -- Tom
Stoppard
Vitriol --
I am a poet
I hope to explain
How I fought and lost
And then came up lame.
My opponent was brave
As a martyr should be
He wanted to die
Unnecessarily.
My place was to be
6 feet underground
But somehow I managed
To claw up and scrounge.
I found a new way
To defy Vitriol,
What else can I say,
But what an a hole.
--John Donne
Toots Diner -- Yes, the beef will be scorned! -- Chad
Sickened Martyrs -- Pffft...not even a bloodfeud? -- Chad
Darque Ages -- Wow! On top of the 3 turn w/l! -- Chad
P.S. Don't let it inflate your head, it gets easier to hit!!
