DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Contact Bridge, I will not be sad to see you go. I've gotten lucky the last two
matches and broken weapons for the win. At some point that was not going to last.
Fare well and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Small Tall I am not surprised to see you leave either. I hope you will honor me
by fighting me on your last fight. And while you're at it teach me a couple of
useful skills.
Bad Bad Basso
SPY REPORT
Welcome TELORINTHE. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with ALTAR BOY?
He actually beat MIDDLE WAY 21's TAMARIND URLIK, and walked away with 20 more points
from the fight. Major screwup at MIDDLE WAY 21. TAMARIND URLIK lost 10 points to
ALTAR BOY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe TAMARIND URLIK will provide more
easy wins... I'm sure TELORINTHE is excited about STEAL HOME, the new Duelmaster
from BAD SIGNS. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... I suppose
you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was NONSUCH HOUSE. Management must be dealin', as the boys at OLDIES ain't reelin'!
NONSUCH HOUSE's mad! What do people see in SAM TALL? His 23-35-1? MIDDLE WAY 21
ain't talkin', but he's got 122 points.
Warriors of TELORINTHE unite. You have only your games to lose! Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
All, ouch! That hurt! I haven't had an opher in ages. Took too much for granted,
perhaps. Gonna have to put the team on two-a-days. -- Coach
Slugbait -- 9-5 and you just added another to make it 9-6. The Consortium is
discussing not renewing my contract. You think you can get me on as an intern? --
Coach
P.S. Congrats to Duelmaster Big Bad Basso.
Sam Tall -- Even though you did close down Circle K, on behalf of The Oldies, I
salute you for your Lord Protectorship. Contract Bridge said he would be honored to
travel to The Isle with you. -- Coach
Sam Tall -- I simply was not good enough to beat you. No wonder you are a Lord
Protector. -- Custodian
BBB -- I thought I had that contract made, but, no, you set me two tricks. Nice
play, you riverboat gambler. (Is that similar to a cyclist on steroids?) -- Contract
Bridge (feeling clubbed in his heart)
Cornelius -- You made me look bad. Salute! -- Sport
Tamarin Urlik -- I just simply got to the altar too late and you slipped away with
all the collection. I am in big trouble. -- Altar Boy
All -- Please welcome my newest warrior, "7th & Main." He is the site of my very
first home at the corner of the one and only stoplight in Cannelton, IN. -- Coach
Health. Humility. Honor. (But no ophers!) -- Coach
Contract Bridge, who becomes grad # 959 for The Consortium, looks like this:
a very mediocre 9-13-16-17-9-13-7 striker
normal endu, good damage (bonus endu, +2 Init)
would somehow go to The Isle at 23-10-1, if today
2 DM titles
skill learn rate = 1.93
seemed to like pointy weapons:
DA 7-47-1 , 1 kill
LO 9-34-1 (despite light two ST)
SS 27-239-9
Adexes Init and Decise; Expert Riposte
Coach
Rook -- Here I was going to try and check mate you with my maul and you slipped
passed me. -- Sky High
Petro Salm -- How could you have taught me nothing? Nothing, I'm not that dumb. --
Spanish Beef
Whitey -- Not what I expected, but I'll take it. -- Roid
Bad Bad Basso -- You did okay against the Bridge. Hang in there. -- Sam Tall
Our congratulations to Contract Bridge. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Sky High Omerta -- Luck is good. I keep trying to train up my LK and not succeeding.
-- Olovor Paris
Contract Bridge -- Well, you got 'em. Go, boy, go! -- Melanie Obern
Hmm. Two-three. I mopped the floor with the Custodian, Tamarind sent the Altar Boy
back to school, and for the rest... losses. -- Sam Tall
Steel Muse -- I was looking for something more... silky. -- Melanie Obern
Spanish Beef -- It did NOT taste like chicken. -- Petro Salm
Silverback -- I REFUSE to believe you're a dwarf. -- Olovor Paris
P.S. We know the Commission makes these dumb mistakes. I'm not a golem, either.
Altar Boy -- Maybe if you'd paid attention to your training, you would have KNOWN not
to put that candle in your mouth. -- Tamarind Urlik
