                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Oops, I did it again! Duelmaster! Numero three. Will I last in ardiventB long 
enough to be able to compete in Champions Class in the April Mailer? Hmmmmm.Life can 
be quite dangerous in the red, red sands.  

                                          -- Rawlings, DMIII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of ARDIVENT!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  What's with NANCY?  She actually 
beat ARDIVENT's HAPPY PEASANT, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at ARDIVENT while they watched VETERAN MERCENARY clobber PENNY.  She 
lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  HAYSTACK was 
reminded on the sands why RAWLINGS is Duelmaster.  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was BLUVALLEY WARRIORS.  In my day, no team with a 1149-1811-37 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, FANDILS?   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master 
many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  Are you 
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Health. Humility. Honor. The Red Sands of Ardivent await us all. -- Fandil The Wise

Mr. Thunder Thrower, it is such a blessing to have you on top competing with Rawlings, 
Penny, and Bernice. They admit to being bored without you, but fearful that you are as 
good as, or better, than they. Good luck, -- Fandil The Wise
