DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Surprise once again, I did not foresee Sai returning and I am sure he was surprised to
be fighting for the title. Somebody up there continues to look out for me. I was
hoping to still be here at the top. Yeah I know, an Aimed Blow against a Total Parry,
what more could I ask for? This time nothing. After the way I fought this time, my
bosses desided to submit my challenge this time without telling me. May the gods
continue to guide and protect me.
-- Your Duelmsster Hruan
SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire, ya bums! We had a great time on the sand. Well, the
gladiators had a great time on the sands. I had a great time sitting in this booth
watching them bash and stab at each other. The ale helped too. Anyway, it was a great
day to be a spectator! Let's see what happened and who came out on top of the fights
today.
Hruan has been our Duelmaster for a few turns and has been great! How has he been
great? Hruan has been an active Duelmaster issuing challenges and avoiding the more
unsavory elements . . . err, styles. He was at it again this turn and issued a
challenge to Jihl Blazefury. It did not work out this time for our FORMER Duelmaster,
as Jihl Blazefury was able to overcome the style disadvantage and become The Spire's
newest champion. Congrats to Jihl, who is managed by Den along with all the others
over in the Big Lake Solution guild. Jihl will have her work cut out for her as the
Challenger Champions look to be a formidable crew, but she is not alone with a few
teammates in the ranks to help her.
Next, let's see who was avoiding and who had the most popular fight card during
today's festivities. The award for MOST AVOIDED team goes to those stalwarts over at
Clan Longbeard. They were mostly avoided by Big Lake Solution. I think the Big Lake
crew is happy not all of those avoids worked! The most challenged warrior for the
cycle is Anton Chekhov. Anton became his own literary device since he was here and
used in his own narrative to defeat Aleksandr in a 1-minute fight.
Death was all over today as we lost 7 warriors. Five of those unfortunate souls were
killed in the Dark Arena with Darque Ages leading the way with 3 offerings to the so-
called "monsters." Demonic Chili's and Far Travelers lost warriors in the regular
games, but none were above 5 arena fights. Condolences to those that lost warriors,
and may their replacements be serviceable!
Alright, I have to be moving along. You bums enjoy the rest of the arena day, but be
sure to come back in two weeks. Jihl gets to defend her title, and we should have
several new warriors on the sands. Maybe the missing managers will show back up as
well! Eh, who knows what will happen. This is why we have the games, we have to see
it unfold -- good or bad -- for ourselves! Come back and be a part of it, ya bums!

Belated Congrats Margery Kempe on your invites to the Isle. -- Clan Longbeard
Obregon -- Point one -- You can blame my no turn on the USPS. I don't run. Point two
-- I don't have to talk tough. At least not towards you. Point three -- I am not like
Assur, I don't hide any of my team from bloodfeuds, especially not your team. -- Chad
Sorry to anyone that you may feel I down challenged greatly. My turn did not get there
by the due date. -- Chad
Visionist -- You're welcome! All the cool kids are sending diplos in celebration of
kills. I'm not the only one, I'm just the one that made it cool again. So, don't cry
too hard and try not to be such a snowflake. If you want me to tell you about
"everyone", just let me know. Focus on the fun, not the narrative that some
hypocrites like to jam down your throat. -- Den
Gayne -- Huh? Not sure if you understand how things work here in Shadowspire or not,
but here you must fight. Den manages with integrity which is a big word for many
other managers. Keep bringing it, I'm not the one hiding behind a preferable style
match-up. Baby. -- Galpoh Chipaxe
Sai -- Credit to you for being an immpressive teacher. -- Hraun the Grateful
J-Lapeno -- 13 minutes and you teach me nothing?! -- Bavil the Overwrought
Dennis Rodman -- Good fight. I thought I had you. -- Meade the Defeated
