DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Praetorian Mandate: The Word of Octavian
Once again, the sands of Kolact bear witness to Imperial supremacy.
Ruby-so quick to kill, yet quicker still to collapse. For the second time, I faced
her. For the second time, she failed. Though she struts with the stature of a warrior
(6'2" is it?), she lacks the strength to wield her long spear properly and the stamina
to survive more than four attacks. This time, she didn't just lose. She passed out. I
didn't defeat Ruby; I endured her-like one endures a summer pest-until she withered
under her own inadequacy. She is no warrior. She is a bloodstain on my boots. Let it
be known: I will Blood Feud again. Each time one of mine falls, tenfold vengeance is
sworn. When the Empire bleeds, the sword of justice follows.
In service to the Emperor, the ranks of the Praetorian Guard have grown. Cassius
Varus, recently elevated from his station beside the throne, now tests his mettle in
the arena. He will earn his scars. His victories. And if he fails, he will be
replaced. That is the way of things.
To our friends and ally, the War Hawks-your blades are keen, your victories many.
Kolact is better for your presence. Together we raise the standard of strength,
loyalty, and honor.
To the cowards, pretenders, and throne-clingers: I am the Duelmaster. You are not.
-- Octavian, Captain of the Imperial Guard, Champion of Kolact
SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Nothing is certain in KOLACT, with changing loyalties, changing
Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--WAR HAWKS. Nothing works for a team
like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as WAR HAWKS can attest...
Practice pays for GALAXY LETTUCE, who pummelled KAIZAR, to pocket 12 points. KAIZAR
certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to GALAXY LETTUCE and
losing 7 points in the process! Well, Duelmaster OCTAVIAN Bloodfeuded THE RAZOR'S
EDGE's RUBY. Is a 21-9-1 good enough? OCTAVIAN successfully staved off a grab for
the roses by RUBY of THE RAZOR'S EDGE. Does KOLACT have no one talented enough to
dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and
challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in KOLACT avoid NEON DIAMONDS. The warriors of NEON DIAMONDS
found their efforts at combat frustrated as WAR HAWKS apparently had more important
things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities?
Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, RUBY is the most challenged warrior.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see NEON DIAMONDS
retaliate against THE RAZOR'S EDGE in bloodfeud! Ask not a spymaster for counsel,
for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. KOLACT, I leave you now. The
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Don Corleone's. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny
Vir
