DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail mighty warriors of Shadowspire,
Tis I, your esteemed Duelmaster, Koomadon!
Unfortunately, for you and I, this will be my only turn as such. I will be off to
retirement after this fight. Now, who do I challenge? Do I go for one of he top 10,
orrrrrrrrrrr, do I Bloodfeud Ahna Misstep and avenge my fallen team mate Otto's Drive
Thru, knowing my faves? I believe that is an easy choice, as long as Den shows some
honor and doesn't kill off Ahna Misstep first!
Speaking of faves, her are mine:
Stats: 11-9-17-17-15-4-11
BS, MO/VL, Slash tactic and I learn Attack skills.
As for a trinket to leave in the throne room, I am going to leave a copy of the
painting I had made of my winning blow vs Reclan, which was my scimitar twisting
around his short spear parry and almost slicing off his right forearm!
Enjoy your time on the sands!
Lord Protector,
Koomadon
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in SHADOWSPIRE this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as NBA LEGENDS is pushed out of top team by HEROES & VILLAINS, who came
from 7th with a 5-0-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for NAME TAGS, whose 2-3-1 this turn dropped them by 6 into
10th. HEROES & VILLAINS stable has parlayed this turn's 5-0-0 into a 6 space move up
the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! The CULT OF
BACCHUS guild has had a 3-1-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. CLYDE THE GLIDE has lost to
FOE-HAMMER, falling 12 points, while helping make NBA LEGENDS a 1-4-0 turn. This
week's Duelmaster bout was between AHNA MISSTEP and our Duelmaster KOOMADON, making a
Bloodfeud. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and KOOMADON remains
SHADOWSPIRE's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I
hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Otto's Diner until they
win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. PRAY THE GODS has cause to stand tall, as they were
SHADOWSPIRE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And
avoiding PRAY THE GODS more than any other team we find NBA LEGENDS. SHADOWSPIRE,
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take
notice that AHNA MISSTEP from BIG LAKE SOLUTION was SHADOWSPIRE's most challenged
warrior this turn. In a brave attempt, AVLUV from PLUM ISLAND SKEETERS challenged up
24 points to fight BAMNOR from the CULT OF BACCHUS stable. AVLUV perhaps got hers
just desserts, seeing as she subdued BAMNOR and ended up with 47 recognition points.
KYLE DEMONBLADE of BIG LAKE SOLUTION had better have a good reason for challenging
down 9 points in a challenge which he was slain. I thought KYLE DEMONBLADE showed
great skill and promise when he was slain by RECLAN. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. The grave that NAME TAGS had dug
for BIG DOPE may yet be filled with the body of HIGH ELF. Seldom are the likes of
this to be seen. BIG DOPE lives still! Hearty mugs of ale were raised in
SHADOWSPIRE today as PISTOL PETE was bid farewell to a 10-3-0 warrior, with LAUDINA
of MADNESS standing silent and pensive. BIG LAKE SOLUTION has lost KYLE DEMONBLADE
to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried. What do you expect from
11-16-0? MADNESS, with any luck NBA LEGENDS will successfully bloodfeud LAUDINA for
killing such a warrior as PISTOL PETE. Have a little decency, will ya? Kudos go out
to KOOMADON this turn, for revenging CULT OF BACCHUS' bloodfeud against BIG LAKE
SOLUTION's warrior AHNA MISSTEP. Well done. We'd like to remind certain teams not
to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, SHADOWSPIRE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in
SHADOWSPIRE again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
