DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Oh, my! I have made it through 19 fights. I have lots of PPs. I have several
ratings beyond the minimum needed. I have 8 DM Titles. All I need is one more fight
and to have lived through it. Perhaps I should go to the chapel and pray?
Well, the heck with it! Let's be positive. Let's be aggressive! I am gonna go
bellow my way to the epitome. Here I come!
Accordion, DMVIII
P.S. I will stop over at the chapel, just in case. (wink)
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. It seems the training can make the
difference, as OLDIES is pushed out of top team by BLACK LIGHTNING II, who came from
4th with a 4-0-0 this turn. BLACK LIGHTNING II stable has parlayed this turn's 4-0-0
into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 1st place. Good work,
guys! And let's see, SVEN fought CRACKER JACKS and gained 19 points and contributed
to SUDDENLY, THE VAN's 2-2-0. CRACKER JACKS has lost to SVEN, falling 21 points,
while helping make OLDIES a 4-1-0 turn. Defending its title for another turn,
ACCORDION kept MIDDLE WAY 21's warrior, MORIS NAHR, from claiming the throne. Tell
me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging
Aardvark uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the MIDDLE WAY 21 stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on TELORINTHE, what are you afraid of?
And avoiding MIDDLE WAY 21 more than any other team we find OLDIES. TELORINTHE, are
we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this
turn was MIDDLE WAY 21's warrior PETRO SALM. More fighters challenged him than
challenged the Duelmaster!
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, TELORINTHE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and
my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
