DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well my Olovor Paris, the rule is 3 strikes and you are out, and that's 3
straight wins over you, so now my challenge turns to Petro Salm, who actually beat me
last time we fought, though our overall record is a 1-1 split. May the toughest
gladiator win.
Lump
Bad Sign
4 time Duelmaster of Telorinthe
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.
NONSUCH HOUSE now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Hey
everybody, watch out for OLOVOR PARIS, who flew up 12 points in the rankings after
mashing SPAWN'S BLUE BEER like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like
a basher in the top ten was SPAWN'S BLUE BEER, who dropped 9 points after a
disappointing (to say the least) bout with OLOVOR PARIS. Unlike most arenas, LUMP
managed to get his challenge off against the 18-32-0 PETRO SALM. In front of all the
crowds, PETRO SALM took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two
weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at
that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the TELORINTHE arena. And
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid NONSUCH HOUSE, please raise you hand.
Wow. Does TELORINTHE really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BAD SIGNS beats feet every time NONSUCH HOUSE
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of OLOVOR
PARIS, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Remember: alliances are great,
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Wow, NINE fights this time. But three standbys. Still, it's what we've got. Three-

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
