                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I suppose I have to write a column, but after posting that long, old story, I am
kinda tired.  And fighting that Kung-Fu guy wore me down even more.  I tried to learn
from him; I listened well; but he was yelling out these phrases that I couldn't
understand, so I was glad when it was all over.
     It would be kinda nice if there were more managers and teams and warriors in
this arena.  I like a good fight.
     Maybe Slugbait's guy will provide a challenge.  After all, he has me style
beaten all to kingdom come.  We shall see.
     Later, all.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  OLDIES had cause to celebrate, after SPORT got 
21 points by beating THE USEROUS MERCHANT.  CIRCLE K certainly had a baffled 
expression on its face, after losing to VIRGINAL GIGOLO and losing 18 points in the 
process!  LIFE SCOUT successfully staved off a grab for the roses by SAM TALL of 
MIDDLE WAY 21.  Does TELORINTHE have no one talented enough to dethrone him?  So 
who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds 
like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are TELORINTHE's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in TELORINTHE avoid PUNY ORC 
PELOTON.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of OLDIES, so did that 
sorry team shy from PUNY ORC PELOTON Is it charming personality?  Conversational 
abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, MELANIE OBERN is the most challenged 
warrior.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Charity is 
unknown in TELORINTHE, and rightly so.  PUNY ORC PELOTON exacted their revenge 
against MIDDLE WAY 21.  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed 
body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in TELORINTHE would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  Can 
anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for TELORINTHE?  On that giddy 
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Spanish Beef -- Sucks, that was easy.  I can't wait until I move up the ranks and get
to fight some of those harder NPCs. (wink) -- Sport

Kung Fu Master -- You are not! -- Circle K

Virginal Gigolo -- Hmmmmm.  I don't know what to say.  Would it hurt your feelings if
I said, "You were easy?" -- Contract Bridge

     Probably.  He's a delicate flower.

Khalhum's Dwarf -- What can I say?  You dusted my mantle. -- Custodian

Kung-Fu Master -- I am always pleased to win a match with one of your style. -- Life
Scout

Oldies -- A 4-1 is good.  I am proud of you all.  Health.  Humility.  Honor. -- Coach

Sam Tall -- Much closer than I would have liked.  The style difference helped
overcome the difference in total fights. -- Roid

Petro Salm -- If you just kept trying and sure enough you broke through my giant wall
of shield. -- Bad Basso

Melanie -- Well that is rude!  No way to treat a little guy like Levi. -- slugbait

Tamarind -- Almost had me but I stabbed you in the back. -- Turncoat

Sport -- Not very sporting of me.  I hadn't finish digesting my dinner when you beat
me to a mince meat. -- Beef

Coach -- Lost count but you are just kicking the stuffing out of me.  Let's call it
7-1 for you and I'll find a way to dig myself out of this hole. -- Sluggy

Custodian -- You polished the floor too much, and I slipped and fell down the stairs
and broke my neck. -- Ghost of Rosana Sabel

Life Scout -- Well, I suppose, but eating the clock gave me SUCH indigestion, you
can't imagine! -- Sam Tall

Contract Bridge -- No, it is NOT all in the cards.  It's how you play the hand, and I
fluffed it. -- Melanie Obern

Roid Floyd -- Oh, no!  Subdued by a puny orc!  The shame! -- Sam Tall

Bad Bad Basso -- You SQUEAKED at me!  That was just wrong.  Way too puny. -- Petro
Salm

Liliputain Levi and slugbait -- Sorry about that.  I didn't realize HOW puny some of
your orcs are. -- Melanie Obern

Postal Turncoat -- Like that, huh?  Maybe I was too hasty in signing up. -- Tamarind
Ulrik

The Mordant Deserter insulted me.  It isn't my fault I'm a golem, I had no choice in
the matter. -- Olovor Paris
