DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Here I am. At the pinnacle of my success here in Shadowspire. I defeat the old
Duelmaster to become the new Duelmaster and we both get whisked off to the Isle. Ahhh,
the feeling of immortality. Feels better than all known reports said it would. Kind of
brings a new twist to the phrase of, "Out with the old and in with the new and out
with the old". Or something.
I am our teams 4th Lord Protector and third Duelmaster. Small potatoes compared to
some guilds here, but still we strive to excell. Four different styles, as well. We
orcs are nothing, if not diverse. No, really. LOL
The Boss has informed me to be prepared to look for employment at the Isle. I may be
immortal, but room and board aint cheap or free. He claims the budget doesn't allow
for paying me to continue fighting. There would be money if he didn't keep skimming
from the profits. As for sharing any orcish secrets, there really aint nothin'
special. 11-19-5-11-21-9-11 and the commission was to damn cheap to afford me any
special goodies when I signed up. So what you saw was what I am. Pure prime orc meat,
tough as gristle. I think I'll go out with a night fight and maybe tune up one of
those resident bad guys. Let's see what happens.
Good luck to whoever claims the throne. You'll need it to hold on to it. Laterz
everyone.
Ringil
Wall of Steel Extraordinaire
and Orc of the Year!
SPY REPORT
Somebody turn that bright light off! It is giving me a massive headache and making it
hard to sleep in the spy reporters' box. Oh, it's the sun? Nevermind! I guess I
will just do the adult thing and suffer the consequences of my poor decisions from the
previous evening. Yeah right, let's get this report done so I can vamoose over to the
tavern and repeat the process!
Duelmaster! Duelmaster! Duelmaster! It is a good place to start. And, we lost a
Duelmaster because Ringil leaves us for the Isle. He tried his luck in the Dark Arena
and it worked out pretty well for him. Our other graduate, The Limper, wasn't so
lucky. It might have been going into the Dark Arena with a limp. He died, but not
really. Once you're immortal, does it matter?
Our Duelmaster's match came down to Koomadon v. Reclan. Reclan made an impressive
challenge up 28 points to face Koomadon, but it did not work out for him, and he lost
in a 1-minute fight. Hail to Koomadon, our newest Duelmaster, but it too will be
short-lived as he leaves for the Isle next turn. So, we rinse and repeat the next
turn!

else's problem.

Thunderstorms are rolling in and making wreaking havoc on my golems. I've had to write
this report by hand, and I may even have to deliver it myself. No respect in this
place! I'm not sure who the weather god is, or any god for that matter, but he or she
or it needs to get it together! This is too much! I need a drink and a bar wench to
stroke my hair and tell me I'm pretty! See you bums next time!

2-3 with 2 deaths. Terrible. Broken will Bloodfeud RIP and I don't know if its
possible since they are a replacement, but since the other kill was a random with a
low level I don't feel its fair to down challenge just to get revenge. RIP wasn't my
best but he had enough potential I'll probably add him to my dead tourny pool. Quite a
few dead piling up. As for the newbies? Solid rollups and in theory upgrades from the
two lost. Mimi and Komma will be the two new kids on the block. -- Eli
Broken -- Last turn I had a Blade vs Blade duel. This time a Broken vs Broken. I dare
say no one else can claim such unique trivia. Of course, I shoulda won, but we orcs
always say that. To be honest, I find wins by accident. -- Broken Blade
Magna Carta -- Hey, that was some tough beans the Commission handed out to you. 14
less fights is a tough uphill battle, but you fought well and proved to be a skill pig
at the end. Just the thing an honorary orc would do. LOL -- Sting
Traci -- You had your shot. I'm tired of getting hit so I put an end to our fight.
Sorry, not sorry. LOL -- Foe-Hammer
I am the trickster Orc. The Boss keeps sending me to fight at night but I out fox him
and sneak into the arena during the day. I'ma gonna try to trick him again. This is
fun. Wish me luck! -- Traitorous Orc
NBA Legends -- Don't go bringing Narsil's name into this conversation. He remembers
you guys fondly. :) -- Boss Orc
Sir Charles -- Spoken like a true orc. Are you? LOL -- Foe-Hammer
Personal Ads DM81RIP RIP Papa Bear. A bit awkward to get killed by a whiffle. --B
Shankar
Boss Orc -- Thanks, I first thought about working towards the alphabet naming while
fighting in Lapur in 1992-1993 and I started trying with Clan Longbeard when
Shadowspire opened. I agree it is time consuming and I have no idea if anyone else has
even thought about it. Perhaps Consortium has done it, but may not even realize it. I
blame it all on my OCD. -- Visionist
Raymond Carver -- Deja vu! -- Zagrid
Dr. Robotnik -- Good challenge. I am improving, maybe next time I will have your
number. -- Ruinn
Margery Kempe -- I was concerned for about 1 second, then the duel began. -- Slaine
Otto's Sous-Chef -- Speed kills. Luckily for me not this time. You could have shared
the wealth in training though. -- Killean
Congrats Ringil and The Limper on your invite to the Isle -- Clan Longbeard
