DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It's been a long time coming, but Hammir has finally graduated. He is 14(+1)-6(+1)-4-
17-19-13-13, Master Attack, Ad Ex Init, Ad Ex Parry, Ad Ex Defense, and Expert Decis.
Rhythm is H/M and favorite weapon is the shortsword, which he seldom used. Poor damage
really hurt him on a lot of his fights. The rest of the team seems to be following the
same pattern of trying to reach 50 fights before graduating so it's probably going to
be awhile before I get to write another one of these.
Unfortunately, there's just one more turn for the bloodfued Otis. If it doesn't happen
feel free to beat on one of my other guys. They're pretty mediocre so you'd be doing
me a favor by killing them, except maybe Plague, just because he's been around awhile.
-- The Walking Dude
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARVAT, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! What's a move up by 3 you ask? (alright, maybe you
didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to APOCALYPSE. BLACK MOON RISING
posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd. Everybody loves a winner... Practice pays for
PLAGUE, who pummelled PICKLE PIE, to pocket 15 points. A certain someone should cut
down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 12 points to MATT FISTAFLES.
(Discrete enough, GULLFOSS?) HAMMIR found out being ARVAT's Duelmaster isn't all nuts
and berries, receiving 2 challenges! The arena was more crowded than usual this
time, as SPIDERMON faced ARVAT's Duelmaster. Now I can't insult SPIDERMON, as he has
gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on
too thick) Word has it one team in ARVAT is using psychics to predict wins. They
lead a charmed life!
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 ARVAT avoid DEATH BY DESIGN. The warriors of DEATH BY DESIGN
found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE VALKYRIES apparently had more
important things to do than fight.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Charity is unknown in ARVAT, and rightly so. BLACK MOON RISING exacted their
revenge against SECRET SQUIRRELS. Questions are being raised about the disposing of
severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in ARVAT would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in ARVAT is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted
by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARVAT farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Ahh, now there's the REAL warm fuzzy welcome! 1-4 with two deaths, ouch...luckily,
replacements were way better than the fodder I've been getting in Sunset lately.
Vengeance will be taken on those responsible, if at all possible, whenever possible,
with extreme prejudice. -- Stik and BMR
