DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is so unusual for a fourteen fight (a true fourteen fight) warrior to have
collected three Duelmaster titles. And speaking of me personally, I just ain't that
good. But, being in the right place at the right time counts for a lot, and for that
I am just plain ecstatic!
For the record, I didn't come first. Piano lessons and a piano did. After
three years of that, a request for me occurred, and my Uncle Leroy came through and
bought me. (For his godson.) I probably cost around $300 back then, but now, even
with the few dents, I am worth over a thousand. (Whether I am played well or
poorly.) After me was a saxophone (alto) for high school band. Both the piano and
me are still around. The sax?????
Right now I am only worried about one thing--how I am going to push the buttons
to get through the next month. One thing for sure, I have a LOT of buttons to push.

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 SUDDENLY, THE VAN
was unseated this week as PANTHEON moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 5-0-0 record for the round. ANUBIS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested SAM TALL and was awarded 21 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, RA put down CONTRACT BRIDGE, causing it to
lose 16 points of recognition in the process. Although BERTHOLD made a valiant
effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious ACCORDION. No
confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using
magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TELORINTHE. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. SUDDENLY, THE VAN is feared. This much I can say.
Apparently the stalwarts of OLDIES are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after AHTI.
Watch your back! As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of his
heart. True, CRACKER JACKS? Who could miss your "brave" challenge of SANGER? All
the city knows the duel went in favor of CRACKER JACKS. I shall not fail to spread
the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

lost it? Shucks! Shucks, I say! -- Life Scout
Sven -- You had all the cards. -- Contract Bridge
Up his sleeve.
Orrie Pollas -- Whew! I really, really, really like luck! -- Accordion
Moris Nahl -- I took the good stuff and left you the nuts. (wink) -- Cracker Jacks
Rosana -- Is that any way to treat a poor newby janitor? Is it!? -- Cutodian
Not so good, Oldies. Two-3? We can do better than that! -- Coach
Coach and the Oldies -- Thank you. -- Orrie Pollas
Accordion -- I was never much of a fan for polkas. Too energetic. I like slow
dances. -- Quita Remming
Cracker Jacks -- Well, of COURSE I took the surprise out of the box. I've never been
a fan of swallowing my toys. -- Orrie Pollas
Confession -- Possible, but unlikely. -- Morris Nahl
Looks like someone slipped when sending a Telorinthe Rookie to the tourney. Still,
we salute that unfortunate rookie. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
