DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Shadowspire and please recognize true greatness, in 35 fights I have somehow
never fought an aimed blow. Now, I am undefeated against aimed blows. Hruan
certainly enjoyed an impressive record, which is a mystery to me, as it was not much
of a fight. The little fellow huffed and puffed, but it was I that blew the house in.
Turns out my desperation strategy is pretty awesome.
Rough style matchups at the top so my challenge goes to Reclan who I am 3-0 against.
I should get my invite next turn so I can go enjoy retirement at the Isle where I
won't have to avoid aimed blows any longer.
-- Jihl Blazefury -- Your Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
This whole arena is a mood. I'm not sure what the mood is, but that is what the kids
are saying these days. Also, I'm not sure who these kids belong to, but could you come
get them? They show up at the press box every two weeks and say mean things. I think
one even made a golem cry. Vicious! Anyway, arena day and arena news stuff to cover,
so let's get to it!
We have a rematch for our title fight today. Jihl Blazefury took the throne in
spectacular fashion a few weeks ago from Hruan. Jihl then received an invitation to
the Isle of the Eye, so it was a short reign but a reign nonetheless! The fates are
really fickle because Jihl and Hruan were randomly matched against one another today.
This time, Hruan came out on top and is our new Duelmaster. I mean our old
Duelmaster. I mean, our new, but also old, Duelmaster. Bah, you get what I'm saying!
Welcome back to the throne, Hruan. Congrats also to Jihl, who leaves us after today's
festivities.
Teams were avoiding Big Lake Solution, but Pray the Gods were avoiding them the most.
On the flip side, Anton Chekov was attracting most of the challenges this turn. Anton
is our popularity leader, so it is solid reasoning to believe the other gladiators
would want him to share the acclaim. If not, then they just want to stab him, which
is what Sir Charles tried to do today. Unfortunately, it did not work out for him.
Anton Chekhov beat Sir Charles in a 3-minute fight.
The arena staff was busy today, but not in the way you are thinking! Yes, they had
their usual fights on the sands, but it took a decidedly deadly turn today. First, an
Embezzling Scribe and Mordant Deserter were killed earlier in the day. I can imagine
the other stand-by fighters were a bit nervous afterward. A Fratsfa Slave was then
called to face off against Walter Raleigh from Literate Loons. I am guessing Fratsfa
Slave was not taking any chances and came out swinging! Poor Walter Raleigh did not
know what hit him, and unfortunately, he never will! Walter leaves us with a 9-10
record, forever to be remembered as a guy who got killed by Fratsfa Slave, assuming
anyone remembers him but his manager.
Enough chit-chat! Seriously, someone come and get these kids! I think one of them
just threw up. Lightweights! They weren't even drinking! Okay, come back next time,
and let's see if Hruan can hold onto the throne a bit longer. I think he only needs a
few more fights, and he can go to the Isle. The Challenger Champions is full of
competitors, so I hope one of them steps up to make a challenge for Hruan's seat! I
remember the days when the Duelmaster was ALWAYS the most challenged warrior.
Nowadays, I'm just happy to see managers posting ANY challenges. Bah, enough ranting!
I'll see you bums in a few weeks.

PERSONAL ADS
All -- For those that care about such things, Margery Kempe was 12-12-12-11-21-3-13
TP, R/R, and +2 DEF (looks mode everywhere else). She learned 1.29 a fight with the
11 WT and mostly ATT. So, it was not a shock when I got the faves and she was VL/VL,
LS, ATT fave learn, and Response tactic. Actually, all of that except the favorite
learn was a shock. She did surprisingly well considering her stats. I had fun with
her, but she is off to retirement in 101 for the foreseeable future. -- Master Darque
Slobregon -- Did that make you feel good I up-challenged your wall of steel? Quit your
blubbering. -- Chad
Dainty Leaf -- Well done! 9-12-9-15-15-9-15 plunger! He died well! -- Chad
Jihl Blazefury -- Impressive defensive stance you have. Congrats, you earned the title
and thanks for the training boost. -- Hraun the Humbled
Lucrezia -- I feel so violated, dirty, used and un satisfied. -- Bavil the Discouraged
Dennis Rodman -- Two weeks later and opposite result. -- Meade the Victorious
