DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
A successful title defense and I get whisked off to the Isle. Oh well, retirement
awaits. My dismal numbers for all to have a good laugh over, as follows:
10(1) -- 14(1) -- 10 -- 13 -- 18(1) -- 5 -- 17 AB.
I leave with 3 skill ratings. Advexpert in rip, Advexpert in att and expert in par. As
an AB I can't for the life of me express my outrage at being mode attack but +3 parry
and having learned a grand total of 3 defense skills. I also don't know what I find
more disturbing, the SH as my favorite weapon or VL/L rhythm.
Bottom line is my boss has no budget room for a non-21 DF AB with pathetic bonuses. So
perhaps I should laugh at the fact I fooled all of you into thinking I was an elite
warrior. LOL Elite, that's to funny. So this is short and sweet. I'll be sure to raise
an ale to all of you when I get to the Isle. /salute

SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire! One sunny day in the middle of the night, two dead boys
arose to fight. No, wait, that is my October tourney opening. Let me find my notes .
. . ah, yes. Good to see you again, ya bums! You want fights? I got fights for ya.
Do you want death? Well, I got lots of disappointment for you there. We'll get to it
in a bit. Okay, let's take a look at how some of you embarrassed yourselves and
shamed your family's name.
Last turn's Duelmaster was making his last appearance today. He's moving on up to the
east side, or wherever the Isle is, I flunked Alastarian geography. Anduril made one
last appearance for fan service and bid farewell. It is usually a touching scene, but
Jim Tully decided he'd send our newest Lord Protector with a few new scars and loss.
It was super emotional for many people and for many different reasons. Jim Tully is
our newest Duelmaster, and he is also our newest Lord Protector! Congrats to JT, who
is managed by Sherman.
It looks like we are getting back to our regular form, at least in the avoid
department. Kill 'Em All was the most avoided team, and would you like to guess who
avoided them the most? Anyone? It was Pray the Gods. In the most challenged warrior
category, a star is born in Dorothy Parker. Okay, maybe not, but she is the most
challenged. Rich Hoyt challenged Mrs. Parker, and he was able to win in a rather one-
sided match.
Okay, time for some stats:
Total Fights: 33 (+2 from last turn)
Dark Arena Deaths: 2 (2-0 for the DA)
Non-DA Deaths: 1 (minimal effort)
Challenge Fights: 15 (8-7-0 for the challengers)
Largest Up Challenge: 24 points - AVLUV (81-3670) (3-0-0,9) of PEN ISLAND
SKEETERS challenged STORMCALLER (81-3586) (8-9-0,33) of WICKED MARTYRS. AVLUV
was devastated by STORMCALLER in a 1-minute one-sided Challenge brawl.
Largest Down Challenge: 32 points - LEEROY JENKINS (81-3177) (31-12-0,105) of
KILL 'EM ALL challenged BUYICA (81-3606) (9-5-1,73) of WICKED MARTYRS. LEEROY
JENKINS luckily beat BUYICA in a 6-minute uneven Challenge fight.
I think those are all the highlights, or in the case of you guys, the least
embarrassing tidbits of information. NBA Legends were MIA this turn, but we still had
more fights. Mirkwood Orcs were missing a fighter, so not sure if that was an error
or some nefarious purpose. Remember the rules for no tourney arenas! Fight totals
should be divisible by 5 every turn, ya bums!
Okay, come back next turn. You know the spiel. Every time a team goes inactive in
The Spire a puppy dies. Or, whatever animal twists the emotionally manipulative knife
in your stone-cold hearts and brings you back. We will have a new Duelmaster as Jim
Tully leaves us, and I haven't the foggiest idea who has the best shot for it. I have
the feeling it is going to be another one of those "recognition point" crownings.
Gods help us! See you in two weeks!
