DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well Surprise, Surprise! Someone up there must really like me. They gave me a second
chance at Miss Blazefury and this time my huffing and puffing caused her to quit in 1
minute. Please forgive me for ruining your perfect record against Aimed Blows and hope
the mystery about me has been solved. Always remember, "Humility is not thinking less
of yourself, It's thinking of yourself less." Enjoy your retirement.
So my Bosses tell me all I have to do is survive two more fights and I will get my
invite to the Isle. May the gods continue to guide and protect me.
-- Your four time Duelmaster,
Hruan
SPY REPORT
Here we go again! It has been a chilly, windy day here in The Spire, and I believe
that makes for some fine dueling conditions. I hope you got in through the gates
early and watched today's fights. It was a wonderful sight to behold! Wow, I sound
so sentimental today. Eh, it must be the booze. No wait, my boss is reading this...
I'm just happy to be here! Yeah, that's it! Happy to be here and tell people about
The Spire's arena action!
We start with old news, but it is exciting news if you are currently the Duelmaster.
Hruan has been getting comfortable in the big chair. It does not appear we have many
warriors who can take the seat from him, but that does not stop many from trying!
Today, he fought Otto's Busboy in a random match-up. As with many of Hruan's fights,
he finished it quickly and went back to sitting on the arena's throne. Hruan is once
again our Duelmaster, but he is still a little green and hasn't gotten a call to the
Isle yet. If he stays above ground, I'm sure it will happen any day now. Congrats to
Hruan, who is managed by Visionist.
Big Lake Solution is once again our most avoided team. They were mostly avoided by
Far Travelers. After watching all the jawing in the arena, it isn't hard to figure
out some of these avoid situations. At 20-29, everyone was looking to get a chance to
fight Privid. Urmar, who was 9 points and many fights below Privid, got the
opportunity to fight the arena veteran. Privid is now 20-30, and I am sure he will
have many more looking to fight him next cycle.
Death was a bit on the light side today. Kaile the Littel slew M. Chardinee. It
wasn't even close, but I do feel sorry for those arena stand-ins at times. The other
death came for Marie De France in a random match. Fierce Ryder killed Marie and moved
to a nice 3-1-1 record. Condolences to the dead and congrats to the winners.
Far Travelers holds to the Top Team spot on a technicality! They have 4 losses to
Clan Longbeard's 5 losses. There can be an advantage to missing a fight here and
there. Eh, it is good to NOT have a tie for these award rankings in my opinion. What
good is that? It isn't worth much, but it keeps the candles burning back at my place!
Time to skedaddle! It has been a long day of day-drinking . . . working hard to serve
the people of The Spire with quality spy reporting! I'll see you bums on the next
cycle. Come back and fight, drink, and be merry. Just be sure not to drink, marry,
and then get in the fight! See you next turn!
