DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Any other TPs want to take a shot at me? Three wins in a row versus them ought to be
enough to show that their odds are low.These Commission flunkies who put together our
newsletter need to go back to school. They list "The Odyssy Begins" as the top career
unchartered team, but they don't even show up as an active team. How does that work?
Why isn't Tourist Traps the top unchartered team, since they are the ONLY unchartered
team to show up in the rankings? [Plus, that misspelling ("Odyssy") is super
annoying.]
It looks like our schedule will not allow me two more fights before the upcoming
tournament. So, I guess I'll go in as a 29 FE Champion, rather than 30. Wish me luck
representing our fair city!
Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!
-- Smooth Operator, your Duelmistress
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LAPUR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. TOURIST TRAPS turned their 3-2-0 turn
into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Now let's all watch BLACK KELTS' heads swell from their 4-1-0 this
turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big deal. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see HOWLER win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, STONE
HINGE beat UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and UNIVERSAL STUDIOS lost 10 points. You're breakin'
my heart. NOBILIFY challenged LAPUR's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if
variety is the spice of life, LAPUR may be getting bland, as SMOOTH OPERATOR stays
top dog in the city. The Warty Toad, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.
Where do they get this stuff? From LAPUR's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? ARCANE PHARMACY was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like MID EARTH avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm
frightfully impressed, HOWLER was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that
ego swell, sports fans.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for LAPUR's
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in LAPUR to get a drink than The Warty Toad!
Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too.
Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide
Clemens
