DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Jeeez, I never thought this gladiator stuff could be so hard. My first turn in
the challenger champs was on my 15th fight, then it took another 20 fights before I
was back in the upper ranks. Now I am FINALLY the boss on the top of the ranks.
Hopefully it won't take me 20 more fights to get my invite outta here.
Hamm, you sure had a weak will to live for a Golem scum. Five hits, ankle, groin,
abdomen, kidney and then a final head shot and you die? Mr. Philthy, my condolences,
it was not my intention, but still I await your Bloodfued.
-- Your Duelmaster, Gayne
SPY REPORT
Welcome back to The Spire, ya bums! Yeah, yeah! It is good to see . . . most of you.
No amount of face paint will cover up some of your ugly mugs, so stick to the shadows
to beautify the arena, will ya? It was a great day in the arena. Who am I kidding?
Every day in the arena is a great day! We got a new guy who took over that thing from
the other guy, but I don't want to spoil anything, so let's move on.
So, the new guy I was talking about is our Duelmaster. Yes, we got a new Duelmaster
and it came via BLOODFEUD! These are the wonderful days for me in the arena - fights,
vengeance, blood, ale, more ale, and a decisive winner! Congrats to Agave, our newest
Duelmaster. He overcame Gayne for the throne in a 1-minute battle. The bookies
thought it could have gone either way, but in the interest of making me look
competent, I have to say I had Agave as the winner. Congrats to Agave, who is managed
by Philthy.
There were deaths and bloodfeuds today. I assume that could describe most days in an
arena. The feuds and deaths were even at three each. A feud played a huge part in our
title fight between Agave and Gayne, as we mentioned earlier, so we will begin with
them. Big Lake Solution was busy riding the Vengful Spirit (is that even a thing?)
against Darque Ages. Den had two active feuds against Darque, and thus far, his
efforts had been in vain. This turn was different as Kayd the Boq and Durn Wolfsnarl
won their respective matches. The deaths today came via Dark Arena and in broad
daylight. Demonic Chili's sent a lone warrior to the night fights. A warrior
sporting a 0-4 record was the next to fall in a random when Dago Dracospear slew his
opponent. Lastly, Wicked Martyr's Tziss killed Natural Ice in a fight earlier today.
Let's move on to coward . . . I mean the "avoids" section of the report. Personal
hygiene aside, Clan Longbeard is our most avoided gladiatorial team. NBA Legends
mostly avoided the Longbeards. Sgt. York is our most challenged warrior. He was on
the wrong side of a down challenge from Galpoh Chipaxe. Sgt. York showed why he is a
hero to many when he beat Galpoh and climbed the ranks.
Welcome to the new teams! Thanks to the Roman Republic for addressing the masses. We
welcome them from Noblish Island into our fold. Enjoy yourselves in this fine arena
and stay with us for the long haul! There are no graduates this turn, so we wait a few
more weeks to see if anyone can catch the eye of the Commission. I anticipate we are
due for a large graduation class soon! Oh well, time for me to get out of here. I'm
sure I have more work to do at the Yellow Press offices, so I'm headed straight for
the tavern to forget about all those papers! Come back and see me in two weeks. Tell
the missing managers to hurry back!

Greetings from the people of Rome. Upon decree of the senate, we have left Noblish
Island at the new moon and have now reached the city of Shadowspire. Here, our young
men will continue to hone their skills until they are deemed fit to lead as senior
commanding officers in our legions. We salute you, Duelmaster GAYNE. And you, PAUL THE
BEARER, unchartered leader. To all of you, lanistae and gladiators, may the Gods be
kind to you, and may Death keep Her gaze away from us. Remember to be brave in the
arena, humble in the city, and devoted to the Gods. -- Valerius Flamma, pro Senatu
Populoque Romanus
