DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Poor Contract Bridge. Not only does he get a horrible style match up but the
poor man is given a weapon his manager knows he can't use. Shame on you, Coach! You
have to give poor old Contract Bridge a fighting chance against my double shields.
Large ones, at that. Well, at least I taught you two skills that will help you beat
me next time. The coach's warriors are so sneaky that they only teach useless skills
to their opponents. That decisiveness skill will be mighty useful to a scum TP.
Thanks.
Looks like I will be fighting one of the good warriors from the middle way. Not
sure if I like that since I prefer the low road myself.
Bad Bad Basso
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TELORINTHE games. In one of the week's more notable
duels, CONTRACT BRIDGE put down MELANIE OBERN, causing her to lose 11 points of
recognition in the process. Although WHITEY D'EAGLE made a valiant effort, it did
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious BAD BAD BASSO. Informants "close" to
the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his
armor. Watch out!
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. PUNY ORC PELOTON is feared. This much I can say. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding PUNY ORC PELOTON. Indeed it was OLDIES. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after SAM
TALL. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week,
it seems that CIRCLE K posted a challenge against the more highly recognized SAM
TALL. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand CIRCLE K was dealt death by SAM
TALL. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries
of this world. This week arena veteran CIRCLE K was slain, despite a 12-6-0 record.
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? 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

There they are again. Those steroided bikers blow us all out with their big point
gain. Slugbait The Sandbagger at work! -- Coach
How can you sandbag in a no-tourney arena?
"Coach -- Did I just got 1-0 against you?! I'm quitting this game right how. It
will never happen again. 9-4. -- slugbait" ...."CONTRACT BRIDGE was luckily beaten
by BAD BAD BASSO in a 7 minute Title match." Yeah, sure, Sluggo! 9-5. Do you miss
the game? (wink) -- Coach
Roid Floyd -- I guess I just didn't have what it takes for an all-nighter. --
Contract Bridge (asleep at the table)
Kudos to the Champ--Roid Floyd. -- Coach and the Oldies
Rook -- Checkmate. -- Circle K
Cornelius -- Me? I beat you? I hardly beat anyone. I am just a glorified janitor.
I could say, I guess, that I "cleaned your clock", but it is more likely I cleaned
your toilet. -- Custodian
Uh, Coach. I think you missed me. I'm on your team, too. I beat Postal Turncoat
and took all his vials and pills. He is a Puny Orc peleton, you know? Aren't we
Oldies more like 10-5? -- Sport
P.S. All I want is a bonus and a contract extension. That's enough for any college
athlete, don't you think?
Embezzling Scribe? Really? I prayed and prayed--even in Latin, you know, and, and I
get a win embezzled anyway? A loss? I sure wish The pope had not retired. -- Altar
Boy (crying big tears on his hassock)
Well, from all the disfunctionals of The Oldies, allow me to say... Health. Humility.
Honor. And Happy Easter. -- Coach
Telorinthe -- Nonsuch House has returned to the sands. I am not sure how long the
boss will provide the funds to stay, but we hope it is for quite some time. For now,
time for writing ads is limited, but we shall try. But whether or not we have time
to fill the newletter with words, know that we are pleased to participate in the slow
no-tourney arena. -- Dimetreas, resident manager of Nonsuch House
Tamarinth -- And that is how the big Ape does it. -- Silverback
Circle K -- That fight was a bad matchup in so many ways. Please go away until I
have a lot more experience. -- Rook
Custodian -- Matchups like that are part of the problem with small arenas. I need
more experience. Perhaps if I tried a quick tournament for a quick influx of FE to
help me compete... oh, wait. -- Cornelius
Why do they keep assassins around for us to fight, anyway? Not that I'm complaining.
-- Whitey
Roid Floyd -- Didn't we just DO this? -- Sam Tall
Steel Muse -- Well, I was, you know, a-musing myself? -- Melanie Obern
Spanish Beef -- Ole! -- Petro Salm
Sky High Omerta -- And ambition, too. -- Olovor Paris
Silverback -- Oh, darn. I thought you were a set of silverbacked brushes and didn't
pay proper attention soon enough. That'll teach me. Maybe. -- Tamarind Ulrik
P.S. Aren't you kinda tall for a dwarf?
