                             Notes from the arena champ.

Garion breathed heavily, grunting as he pulled the thick plate greaves from his arms 
and dropped them into the sands.  He didn't like this new armor, too thick, too heavy, 
but it did what his manager Tripwire said it would.  It took all the blows from the 
longsword of Parmesan Cheese without doing much damage and tired the other warrior 
quickly while Garion dodged the best he could in this bulky stuff and then unleashed 
his Long Spear in the second minute.  Worked to perfection actually.  Glancing over at 
his manager with a new found respect he looked at his next two opponents in challenger 
champions.  He saw his two guild mates there and shuddered thinking of fighting either 
one of them, thank god they were on his team.  So it would be Phouka and Cosmic Giant 
next up in line.

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  TALCAMA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  I don't wanna hurt 
anybody's feelings or anything, but MAD SCIENTISTS really goofed with their 0-5-0.  
OF WOLF AND MAN II like really fought hard to move up to 3rd from 8th.  Way to go!  
MVP award for HARRY TRUMAN?  INANIMATE TOFU's proud of him after beating COSMIC ASH 
and getting 22 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  COSMIC ASH's match with HARRY 
TRUMAN cost him a loss of 18 points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  GARION 
stopped PARMESEAN CHEESE dead in his tracks!  I hear the top team insists all their 
warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  Like, is COSMIC GIANT popular, or 
what?  He was challenged the most in all of TALCAMA!  He's got a 22-28-1, is that 
good?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
