                             Notes from the arena champ.

Me, again. The leaky Cauldron. Was sorta easy, really. Maybe the next fight will be 
more suiting for a Duelmaster clash? Maybe not. Had two unusuals stumble into the bar 
the other day; was not so sure if they belonged here, but they said they were headed 
to Diagon Alley, but wanted an ale first. Should I have served them? You know Muggles 
are not allowed in here. Which one was the Wizard, which was the muggle. Or, were they 
both purebloods? One was a Smith/Miller descendent; the other was Hagedorn/Genglebach.  
Hmmmmm.

Do you care?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, JHELUM?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  THE REPLACEMENTS turned their 3-2-0 turn 
into a 5th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get 
put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see LUMOS win a fight 
and gain 15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SLAYBLADE beat MIRE OF DOUBT and MIRE OF 
DOUBT lost 11 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as TANCIK VZ 33 takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old 
Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Welcome Wench, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From JHELUM's trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  POTTERY WORLD was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like 
TANKS FOR NOTHIN' avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, 
if you ask me.  Hmph.  PUBSTRIKER was challenged more times this turn than the 
Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  I guess I can give a 
little credit to PILLAR OF CREATION of UTOPIA RELIGIOSO for challenging up by 24 to 
AGENT ORANGE.  PILLAR OF CREATION won to get 85 points of recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for JHELUM's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the JHELUM arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of JHELUM.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in 
your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
