DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.

Bwahahahaha. Those Neon Druids are pretty smart and sneaky. Ole Krosa guy took the
hint (and the many losses) and decided to take an easier way out than challenging me
for the throne. Oh, yeah! He pimped himself and challenged a total parry with his
mighty style advantage. Can't blame the little whippersnapper at all. Why fight
someone he knows he cannot beat? Gotta love those Druids! Bwahahaha.

Meanwhile, here I am casually lazing on the throne for the 5th time in my career. But,
since my heartless manager sent me to the dreaded Mailer, who knows if I will return
for my defense of the Title. Hope for the best, plan for the worst!

It has been quite the exciting time here in Tobir. One way or another, I won't be here
much longer. Maybe I can kill somebody first!

-- Scarred, DMV

SPY REPORT

Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for TOBIR. Like, NEON DRUIDS had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by ANYTHING GOES! Way to go ANYTHING
GOES! The guys at ANYTHING GOES like really pulled together to get a 4-1-0 this
turn, moving up by 3. Talk about yer major upsets! SILENT MAJORITY's match with
ANXIOUS cost her a loss of 9 points! This Duelmaster is like something else!
SCARRED stopped NOBLE ASSASSIN dead in his tracks! Is the Duelmaster really being a
real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. NEON DRUIDS
was the most avoided team. Is a 38-41-3 record really that scary? I don't know what
ANYTHING GOES' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from
NEON DRUIDS, that's fer sher. Like, is RACER popular, or what? He was challenged
the most in all of TOBIR! He's got a 16-5-0, is that good? See if I ever talk to
FIST OF KROSA again! RACER was so low when He challenged he. Hhmph! FIST OF KROSA
beat RACER. No surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised FIST OF KROSA would do
such a scummy thing, either. People were asking me did RISHKAR REALLY challenge CPT
BEN PIERCE? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a
spectacular fight, or anything, but CPT BEN PIERCE wants me to write about it since
he was killed by RISHKAR. Satisfied? STRIP TEASE must not be a good enough fighter
to get in fair fights. She challenged SLOW LANE BLUES. 9 is a big difference.
(Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought STRIP TEASE showed great skill and
promise when she beat SLOW LANE BLUES. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey, warriors get killed by other warriors, not by their manager sending
them to the Dark Arena. What's wrong with BUNTING's 3-1-0, PHOENIX GUARD? It was
kind of sad, seeing old CPT BEN PIERCE stumbling around the arena, before RISHKAR
finished him off. Oh well! I was SO depressed when I heard SEA OF LIFE got killed.
He was just a kid, and didn't get a fair chance in TOBIR, or anything! RISHKAR
bloodfeuded (is that a word?) CPT BEN PIERCE for revenge over some guy's bad fortune.
Was it really worth it? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. TOBIR is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS

Fist of Krosa, thanks for the tickle. -- Racer

Cpl Klinger, you were simply outclassed. -- Uppity

Sure do love my team in Tobir. (Well as much as I can love anything.) -- Mr.
Ambivalent, Mgr.

Neon -- I feel bad for Killing Wurmspeaker -- KD6 so I guess it was bad Luck. Sage's
warriors never avoid even for tourneys so I will be available for the bloodfeud. --
CPT Ben Pierce
