DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
FROM THE THRONE OF BONSUR
By Anzai Muro, Duelmaster
Yes, I challenged Nicole.
I heard the whispers before the challenge was even posted. "Why her?" Because I fight
to win. I have no interest in gambling the title against a worthy opponent when an
easier path presents itself. Pride loses championships. Judgment keeps them.
Nicole has somehow earned an invitation to the Isle despite a record of 14 victories
against 32 defeats. That kind of perseverance deserves acknowledgment, even if her
skills never quite caught up. She stood before me, and as expected, she fell. I wish
her safe travels to her new home. Perhaps the Isle will be kinder than Bonsur.
Another departure deserves far greater recognition.
My brother Go Asai fought his final battle as every samurai hopes to--victorious. He
slew High Elf before getting on the boat to the Isle of the Eye. Go Asai has always
carried himself with dignity, humility, and respect. His victories were never loud,
yet they were always convincing. Homeguard receives not only a Tournament Victor, but
a gentleman worthy of standing beside the legends who came before him.
That is the way of the Ninjas.
Shocking Toad built our foundation through sheer determination. Jakuchu Ito proved
that greatness can rise from the poorest streets. Ishinomori demonstrated the value
of discipline. Go Asai reminds us that honor and courtesy strengthen a blade rather
than dull it.
Our younger brethren still search for their place. They lose more often than they
win, but so did those whose names now echo throughout Alastari. We will teach. They
will endure. And one day, they too will carry our banner.
As for me...
I will continue choosing the battles that keep this title in Ninja hands. Some call
it opportunistic.
I call it intelligent.
If you think otherwise, you know where to find me.
-- Anzai Muro Duelmaster of Bonsur Ninjas
SPY REPORT
Hello!
Anzai Muro, thank you for a thought-provoking column.
Well, the Philanthropists2 had an interesting turn. One of their number was
consigned to the Dark Arena, and emerged injured but triumphant. STRIDER (7-5710) (5-
2-0,34) of PHILANTHROPISTS2 DA challenged HIGH ELF (7-677) (0-0-0,60) of DARK ARENA.
STRIDER slew HIGH ELF in an exciting 6 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
I note that the team Philanthropists (no 2 on the end) sent three warriors to the
DA, yet that team is not listed in the main team listing, only in Teams on the Move.
Curious.
The Lady was available to be bloodfeuded by Philanthropsits2, yet she was ignored
and had to find someone else to fight with. BONE DANCER (7-7556) (12-13-0,69) of
CHAOS KIDS fought THE LADY (7-7511) (14-25-1,90) of REAVERS. BONE DANCER was beaten
by THE LADY in a 2 minute gory veteran's bout.
Tempus did not fight today, so the team Of Wolf & Tempe could not feud him.
And in a random match, DON QUE JOTE (7-7636) (1-3-0,6) of ESPANA fought ROLLING
THUNDER (7-7659) (0-2-0,2) of RISE OF CHAOS. DON QUE JOTE was savagely slain by
ROLLING THUNDER in a 1 minute gory novice's match.
After her humiliating defeat by Anzai Muro, Nicole was not up to facing her next
opponent. NICOLE (7-7448) (14-32-1,97) of CRAZY CO-WORKERS fought TEUTONIC TERROR (7-
7481) (17-8-0,89) of RISE OF CHAOS. NICOLE was overpowered by TEUTONIC TERROR in a 1
minute mismatched brawl.
Rusty Hinge, learning he was on his way to the Isle, chose to spend his last day
in the Dark Arena. RUSTY HINGE (7-7543) (22-10-0,99) of CHAOS KIDS DA challenged
BANDIT PRINCE (7-683) (0-0-0,60) of DARK ARENA. RUSTY HINGE delivered the death blow
upon BANDIT PRINCE in a 8 minute fight. Yay! And the Bandit Prince is very
dangerous, too.
That, I suppose, is all I have for you. Fare well until next turn.
