DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.

I'm being taken out already?! Well, I'll miss this place, that's fer sure.

Hey, do you remember Trace of Blood's final column, where he talked about the
coincidence of always using his favorite weapon, the short spear, due to his low
strength? Well, that seems to be my case also -- I've always used the longsword and
that's my favorite also. Is my manager a genius? No, just lazy and lucky. Another
lucky thing is that no one killed me -- I have a 5 Con and have that dreaded "is very
frail -- even a single blow can devastate him" comment.

Anyway, I hope you all do good in the tourney and I'll see ya in Talahya!

-- Mister

SPY REPORT

Good day, in SOLVEN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can make the
difference, as SNOT QUITE RIGHT is pushed out of top team by NEON TREES, who came
from 3rd with a 4-0-0 this turn. And let's see, BOOM NACA fought MEDAN and gained 8
points and contributed to DOIN THEIR THING's 1-1-0. MEDAN has lost to BOOM NACA,
falling 6 points, while helping make MIDDLE WAY 15 a 0-2-0 turn. We should ask
CEDARBURN about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a
warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. SNOT QUITE RIGHT has cause to stand tall, as
they were SOLVEN's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided SNOT QUITE RIGHT stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
DOIN THEIR THING. Anyone surprised?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.
You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, SOLVEN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe
