DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
One last surprise! Another warrior appeared out of thin air. Well fought, Sir Dwarf, I
await hearing of your invite to the Isle soon enough. I was informed that I meet the
requirements for the Shadowspire Hall of Fame and as usual my bosses were correct and
I am off to the Isle and retirement. My boss will be posting my info in the ads.
Farewell, Shadowspire!
-- Your six time Duelmaster
and Lord Protector,
Hruan
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
SHADOWSPIRE. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
For every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at WICKED
MARTYRS, who went down to 5th from 9th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 4-1-0
outing, CULT OF BACCHUS has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch
out for DOMINIQUE, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing PRIVID like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
SHAQ, who dropped 18 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with AGAVE.
Drawing on all of his experience as a 19-18-2 warrior, RECLAN went for the
Duelmastership against HRUAN this week. Well, everybody's pal HRUAN moved his record
to 18-3-0 by defeating RECLAN in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 7
recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that CLAN LONGBEARD was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of CLAN LONGBEARD's
warriors, I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause FAR TRAVELERS beats feet every time CLAN LONGBEARD smiles at them.
Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, SHAQ would be
president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. Was it guts or an
overtaxed mental capacity that had SAI challenge up 32 points in the rankings to take
on ANTON CHEKHOV? To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', ANTON CHEKHOV was
taken out by the lower-ranked SAI. (Maybe it's time to think Dark Arena?). In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, OTTO'S BUSBOY went after URMAR, who was
higher by 22 points. Well, when the dust settled, OTTO'S BUSBOY beat URMAR.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, BOCCACCIO was
mashed by SAUCY SHERIFF, who let BOCCACCIO know that killing members of DEMONIC
CHILI'S is a no-no. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in SHADOWSPIRE have
no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make
some tracks. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The

PERSONAL ADS
It seems the old Spire is chugging along as always. It is good to be back. For a
long time we led this arena in wins but now it seems that the Darque ones do while
also nearing 1,000 wins. And turn 436. Yes, the old arena keeps chugging along. --
Dragonbane Guild
Bavil -- Once upon a time warriors knew to treat their elders with respect!
Certainly, the Clan knew that, didn't they? -- Stormclaw, who needs to shake off the
rust
Hruan -- First fight back and it is a title fight. That part was cool. Not so much
the result. -- Dragon Scarred
Saul Bellow -- Now that is how a guy should be welcomed back! -- Tristan
Dragonbane Guild and Nomad -- Welcome back. -- Visionist and Clan Longbeard
Dragon Scarred -- Well Fought. -- Hruan the Superior
Anna Misstep -- Turnabout is fair play. -- Gayne the Smug
Stormclaw -- You had me worried. Well fought and thanks for the training assist. --
Bavil the Fulfilled
Fierce Ryder -- Can I gloat now? -- Meade the Mirthful
All -- Hruan = AB = 11-11(+1)-5-17(+1)-17(+1)-9-17. Favorite weapon QS, Low/Low rhythm
and 60 skills learned. He is my 28th Longbeard Lord Protector and my 4th Aimed Blow in
Shadowspire. He is an amazing learner, having learned 5 skills 3 times, not including
the skills from the 2 stat raises. He is only my 2nd non-tourney 20 fight invitee. As
great as he, he will be retiring from the arena. -- Visionist
