DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Of course I am Duelmaster. Make that three-time Duelmaster. Now I am off to unleash
my fury on The Isle.
My DNA of 13-14-11-17-10-8-11, BA (norm/good) will serve me well.
I ask the rest that Pandora has unleashed to continue to terrorize Zensu. Get used to
it!
-- Pandemic, DMIII
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ZENSU since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts
to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!
Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! THE SHIRE is now ranked
3rd with a 2-0-0 turn. What's with NEW RIFF? It actually beat BEYOND THE PALE's
DAN'S GHOST, and walked away with 21 more points from the fight. Major screwup at
BEYOND THE PALE. DAN'S GHOST lost 18 points to NEW RIFF. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe DAN'S GHOST will provide more easy wins... Har har har! Did
PANDEMIC wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, it's not Duelmaster anymore. I can
barely restrain my enthusiam for PANDORA'S BOX's outstanding member, Duelmaster
PITHOS. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
DEEP SHADOW. Management must be dealin', as the boys at FAR TRAVELERS ain't reelin'!
DEEP SHADOW's mad! What do people see in LAME NINJA? His 3-0-0? DEEP SHADOW ain't
talkin', but he's got 25 points. HAILSTORM expects the easy win by going 27 points
down. TWIGGY will find this a hard lesson! HAILSTORM overcame TWIGGY. PANDORA'S
BOX calls this fighting? In my day...
Warriors of ZENSU unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
