DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Uh, make that eighteen (18) and, no, it was not at all easy. Wasnis was at his
best, and I was at my luckiest. But I am claiming any and all that come my way.
After all this time here, I think this throne is molded to my body. Wasnis was kind
enough to teach me two prayers, but I guess those chants are not the ones the gods
want me to know. Heck!
So here I am. It is time. Can someone do it?
Confession, DMXVIII
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in TELORINTHE this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. And let's see, CRACKER JACKS fought
EGOCENTRIC and gained 15 points and contributed to OLDIES' 4-1-1. HELGA HOARFROST
has lost to CONVICTED ASSASSIN, falling 48 points, while helping make ZEITGEIST a
1-4-0 turn. Well done, TELORINTHE, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Perhaps CONFESSION is not as thrilled, being challenged 4 times. This turn
CONFESSION challenged ORRIE POLLAS in what was TELORINTHE's Title bout. Defending
its title for another turn, CONFESSION kept MIDDLE WAY 21's warrior, ORRIE POLLAS,
from claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Dripping Blade until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the OLLIS
HEROES stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on TELORINTHE, what are you
afraid of? And avoiding OLLIS HEROES more than any other team we find OLDIES.
TELORINTHE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? In a brave
attempt, TWITTER from ZEITGEIST challenged up 21 points to fight MORIS NAHR from the
MIDDLE WAY 21 stable. TWITTER perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she was
subdued by MORIS NAHR and ended up with 22 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in TELORINTHE and I've a long road ahead
of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond

PERSONAL ADS
Mountain Troll! Hah! Gotcha! -- Lord Protector Custodian, retired
Helga -- Congratulations. I challenged, but you were clearly the finer warrior in
that match. Salute. -- Lord Protector Draggin' Main, retired
Wasnis -- Whew! That took all I had. Well done. I was lucky to escape and to
continue to hold the crown. -- Confession (not retired, but wants to be)
Karin Lo -- I was lucky to get out of your way at the right time. I was. -- Pep
Rally (who wants to be retired too)
Embezzling Scribe -- I am not so interested in retirement yet, but if you are gonna
lose to me like a complete bozo, please teach me lotsa stuff. (And I don't mean
polkas.) -- Accordion
Bozos don't have much to teach. -- Salgried
Two new recruits on the way, and I am likin' the old team more and more already. --
Coach
Draggin' Main -- Hope you enjoyed your send-off *smirk*. --Helga Hoarfrost
P.S. I'm gunnin' for you, Confession!
Vodi -- Next time, just drop the weapon and give up. -- Cyclidia
Yoda -- Gah! I got beat by a midget! Totally not cool. -- Twitter
I understand they prefer to be called Vertically Challenged.
Cornelius -- I really need to work on this coordination thing, don't I? -- Egocentric
Quita Remming -- I didn't think I should use that weapon, and Lo and behold, I
didn't. -- Melancholia
All -- Congrats continue for Confession, but I will remind the illustrious DM that
some of my warriors haven't forgotten where you scored your only kill. Kas of Ys is
not forgotten, and we would like to see you humbled for her death. That said, I hope
everyone is in good spirits. If you know any that might be entering the TWVII and
wouldn't mind my force of will squad joining them, contact me in DM-47. The team
should reactivate this turn. Good luck to all! -- Michael Eldritch
Rook -- Somehow, "A man's home is his rook" doesn't have the right sound to it. And
my rook wasn't homelike at all. Ouch. -- Sam Tall
Steel Muse -- Huh, I thought a muse, mews, whatever, I thought it was a place to
stable horses. -- Moris Nahr
The Kung-Fu Master's a bit of a pipsqueak, isn't he? -- Orrie Pollas
Pep Rally -- I never did want to be a cheerleader. Much too vigorous. -- Karin Lo
Melancholia -- That isn't the geist of my zeit, and you should reject it, also. --
Quita Remming, positive thinker
Dimeteus -- What if people don't notice you and step on you? -- Moris Nahr
P.S. We just got some good stuff in from... I think it says from Bonsur. Maybe you
should come over and help us test it. "To destruction" as they say. We figure it
won't keep, so we should drink it all up quickly.
