                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings from the top!  So it seems the honor of being Duelmaster of Kaltos is not 
what it once was. I mean how much of an accomplishment is it when there are just two 
teams running (plus a couple onesies)?  Not like the old days when sitting the throne 
here meant something.  Well, it is what it is.  Until we get better recruiters, our 
arena will remain small and intimate.

Speaking to the other team...Are you going to bloodfeud, Ninety-Three?  You might have 
a good shot.  Choose wisely.  

Again, because of the low activity here, it wasn't really challenging to win six arena 
awards last turn.  Meaning that me and my teammates get to fight "on the house" for a 
while.  That's one way to keep a team around.  

Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true! 

                                          -- Black Architect, your Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
KALTOS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, NINETY-THREE, since BLACK 
BULLDOGS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're 
all terribly impressed to see MORDRAK win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, MORDRAK beat LANTENAC and LANTENAC lost 13 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
And if variety is the spice of life, KALTOS may be getting bland, as BLACK ARCHITECT 
stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling 
you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, KALTOS?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  UNDERGROUND was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was NINETY-THREE.  Ha ha ha ha!   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if 
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of KALTOS.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
