DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
"The Replacements, we're called. Apt, I'd say. An electic mishmash. And yet here I
find myseld in this... dreadful Duelmaster's chamber, decorated as if by a toddler
with a knife fixation. It's got me positively peeved.
"So, for as long as I'm here, I'll make the most of it. Tidy up a bit. Get things
*ship-shape*. Tolerable."
"I'll be seeing you on the sands shortly, Chester and Seeds and Isle and the rest.
Until then! Ta!"
Your Duelmaster,
-- The Uptight Knight
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of JHELUM! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team BAD IDEAS was unseated
this week as THE REPLACEMENTS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a
4-1-0 record for the round. Fortune did not smile upon BAD IDEAS this time out who
this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a 0-0-0 round.
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
UTOPIA RELIGIOSO went 2-3-0 to move up 4 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the
3-0-0 record which POTTERY WORLD managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such
a record will draw challengers! GOLDEN SNITCH caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested GIVER OF STARS and was awarded 24
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, GOLDEN SNITCH put
down GIVER OF STARS, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.
Not for nothing has UPTIGHT KNIGHT in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne,
and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has warned
that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. JHELUM, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is THE BAD BUNNIES, a guild shunned and avoided
by many in the weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been
hard pressed to find any of THE REPLACEMENTS last week. Busy avoiding THE BAD
BUNNIES? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. AGENT
ORANGE take warning! You have more than a few enemies in JHELUM.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Look no more for SEA OF FLAMES in the arena or on the streets of
JHELUM. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 11-12-1.
DERAILED has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of hers recent bout with
the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! Fate is a fickle mistress. She
showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember
this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in JHELUM. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are
angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes
