DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
First off, congrats to Buzz for the first invite out of here. I'm happy to have
made it in 20 fights, just wish our manager hadn't missed a turn, otherwise I would
have been out of here last turn as well. The only consolation to me is that I was
able to beat Buzz in his last hurrah here. I'm still curious as to what Buzz's stats
may have been, but it looks like his manager has chosen not to disclose his stats.
My manager, on the other hand, will let you know a little bit more about me. I
graduate with three Advanced Experts (Attack, Decise & Initiative). The commission
tells me I'm adept with the Short Spear (didn't use it much), with a High/Low Rhythm
and using the decise tactic. (Hmm, I usually used the decise tactic except for one
win against Lyrial, and my loss to Buzz). And while I apparently have an aptitude
for learning initiative skills, I can tell you that I have learned more Decise or
Attack than Init. Oh yeah, and my numbers are 9-7-17-21-15-6-11, and I'm apparently
hosed in Decise, but mode in my other two known ratings.
Meanwhile, best of luck to my successor on the throne. Normally, this stable
wouldn't downchallenge (except for a BF), but since the Bad Signs occupy the top
three spots in the arena, we felt it more important to challenge than to be sitting
ducks.

Duelmaster of Telorinthe
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TELORINTHE games. Former top team BAD SIGNS was
unseated this week as OLDIES moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a
3-2-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week OLLIS HEROES went 4-1-0 to move up 4 in the rankings.
Did only my eyes note the 4-1-1 record which ACRONYMS managed to post this round? I
don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! In one of the week's more
notable duels, PARALDOXIA put down SIMPLETONGUE, causing him to lose 13 points of
recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster
GOLDEN SOMBRERO Bloodfeuded TORPORTLY last week in a match to decide the fate of the
throne. Although TORPORTLY made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the
reign of victorious GOLDEN SOMBRERO. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the
top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. TELORINTHE, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is ZEITGEIST, a guild shunned and avoided by
many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of DEATH'S CHOSEN last week. Busy avoiding ZEITGEIST? Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. GOSSIPID take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in TELORINTHE. I can not but mention with disdain the
name of DETOUR who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 11 points below
in the rankings. I thought DETOUR showed great skill and promise when it was
dispatched by GOSSIPID. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. I have seen warriors die in youth. I
have seen creatures cut down in their prime. This week BAD SIGNS must mourn the loss
of 13-8-1 DETOUR to INVIDIOTS. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TELORINTHE. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Duelmaster again and already off to the Isle to keep Buzz company. Nice spotlight
(my school had only three seniors, and one home schooled *wry grin*). Anyway, I've
got TW matters to consider, and my second DM over in Morya. Here's hoping somebody
lights a spark here in Telorinthe. OUR arena (remember?). -- Michael Eldritch
