ADM 107 -- Duelmaster Column

I had a lot to say last turn so this turn, not so much. I had a random 
match-up with Javelino and got my revenge for an earlier beatdown he put 
on me in that first fight. It is a bit disconcerting to be fighting a 
dwarf that stands six feet tall. Dudes taller than I am. LOL I didn't 
issue any challenges, again. I suspect I'll get challenged by Out for a 
Duck, since he is now ranked right below me. I guess it'll be interesting 
to match-up with a fellow martial artist for the first time. Well, I have 
to go. The Boss is going on a rant about something and I should probably 
be nearby, in case things get crazy.

B  B  B Til next time, Rat Soldier, signing off

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Nine fights!

Yup, got to agree with Rat Soldier, this arena is really small.  The Arenamaster has a 
megaphone to use while you're fighting, and yes, it does echo.

As I mentioned, there were nine fights today.  Only one challenge, thanks to Burm 
Wolfsnarl.  No one died, and Mirkwood Orcs avoided Bad Signs.

     BURM WOLFSNARL (81-113) (103-77-0,201) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS challenged MOOSE (56-
3459) (77-104-0,210) of REDHORSE.  BURM WOLFSNARL bested MOOSE in a 2 minute Challenge 
fight.
     RAT SOLDIER (62-5152) (59-27-0,385) of RODENTIAN NATION fought HUMMINGBIRD (56-
3475) (106-121-0,219) of REDHORSE.  RAT SOLDIER devastated HUMMINGBIRD in a 1 minute 
one-sided Title duel.  Rat Soldier is still our top Aimed Blow and the Champion of the 
Horn, while Hummingbird is the top Slasher.  Rat Soldier, thanks for the column.
     RENEGADE-RAT (41-388) (47-39-3,224) of RAT PAK fought THE LEPER'S HAND (81-2940) 
(76-44-1,208) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  RENEGADE-RAT was viciously subdued by THE LEPER'S 
HAND in a popular 3 minute match.  The Leper's Hand is now our top Lunger, having 
taken that title away from his opponent.
     BUCK (1-2291) (76-169-0,184) of MOSSRUNNERS fought MOD COD (55-2638) (445-229-
5,210) of RHYME TYME.  BUCK was devastated by MOD COD in a popular 1 minute brutal 
one-sided contest.  Mod Cod remains, as always, the overall popularity leader.  Buck 
actually gained 26 points.
     NARSIL (81-3401) (58-40-1,193) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought LAUDINA (81-3658) (49-33-
2,194) of MADNESS.  NARSIL was devastated by LAUDINA in a popular 2 minute bloody 
uneven brawl.  Laudina is still the top Parry-Lunge.
     ANDURIL (81-3435) (46-42-1,196) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought VERMICIOUS KNID (107-30) 
(0-0-0,240).  ANDURIL was luckily beaten by VERMICIOUS KNID in a crowd pleasing 4 
minute gory brawl.  Anduril is the spectators' favorite fighter this turn.  Nobody 
liked the Knid.
     RINGIL (81-3633) (42-31-2,186) of MIRKWOOD ORCS fought JAVELINO (56-3728) (67-78-
1,198) of REDHORSE.  RINGIL was handily defeated by JAVELINO in an action packed 2 
minute uneven melee.  Javelino is the top Striker; Ringil is our best Wall of Steel.
     BROKEN TOE (56-3683) (73-103-1,195) of REDHORSE fought RAYNER (20-182) (100-155-
3,168) of DEADLINE.  BROKEN TOE was overpowered by RAYNER in a 1 minute uneven duel.  
Rayner is Storm Rock's top Parry-Riposte, and Broken Toe is the least favorite this 
turn.
     DURN WOLFSNARL (81-3955) (18-16-1,63) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION fought RIRORNI SOLDIER 
(107-3) (0-0-0,60).  DURN WOLFSNARL overpowered RIRORNI SOLDIER in a 1 minute one-
sided fight.

So much time, so little to say.  I'll see you in two weeks, unless you happen to drop 
in at the Surly Wench Tavern.

Wow. Sure would be nice to be able to be as skillful as these NPC's are so 
I could defeat these freeloading NPC flunkies.It's so not worth the price 
of admission. @&#$%!!! -- Anduril the pissed off Orc

Out For A Duck -- That was my 49th fight here in Storm Rock and you are 
the first to challenge me. Grats on ruining my streak. Oh, and I'm not 
quite up on arena etiquette, so after I lost to you, was I supposed to 
say, "quack"? LOL -- Narsil

Buck -- That was a fun test of your ability to take damage vs my lack of 
endurance. lol -- Renegade-Rat

Hummingbird -- Something needs to change for me towards the better or the 
Boss says I'll be put out to pasture. :( -- Ringil

Is it me or is this arena getting smaller? Hello? (voice echos off the 
arena walls) -- Rat Soldier
