                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hello again! It is I, Namrepus! It has been 12 turns since I last graced this throne! 
Have no fear, my boss seems to think I will be here for quite a while yet!

(Between you and I, they keep giving me these books to study and they don't have 
enough pictures for me so I just ignore them! But don't tell my boss, okay?)

Anywhoo! I'm off to take advantage of the free spa day perk.

Later!!

I'm sure!

                                        -- Namrepus
                                           Now serving his second term as Duelmaster!!

                                      SPY REPORT

TELORINTHE HAD A BUSY TURN! You know what that means? I am excited beyond measure! 
Come with me as we explore all the amazing news in our arena!

First things first, congratulations to 6am Alarm of Bad Signs, our new Duelmaster! The 
title fight against Namrepus lasted a full twenty-three minutes. TWENTY-THREE. 
MINUTES. I had time to cheer, get snacks, lose interest, find interest again, and 
wonder if they were ever going to stop staring at each other. But 6am Alarm finally 
won the crown and now sits at 29-18-0.

Raam of Sorcerer Kings had a much livelier day, defeating Ecaps Ghost in a savage 
challenge and earning both Popularity Leader and This Week's Favorite. That is a very 
shiny double honor! Meanwhile, Cixelsid Heroes remain the top team, and Iceland still 
owns the best career percentage at 70%.

Speaking of Iceland, welcome back to the spotlight, friends! Snorri improved to 2-0-1 
after killing an Embezzling Scribe, while Huldu defeated Looksmaxxer and Skelmir beat 
Keep Out. Sadly, Grugga wasn't so fortunate. Beware of Doug! killed him in a quick and 
bloody fight. That's one of those moments where the name really should have been taken 
as a warning.

Timeline Cleanse also settled some unfinished business for Riff-Raff Crew, winning the 
bloodfeud against Gulg for Tradwife's death. Revenge accomplished! Hopefully everyone 
can now return to the perfectly reasonable activity of trying to stab different 
people.

Bad Signs had the strongest overall turn at 4-1-1, while Riff-Raff Crew and Bad Signs 
tied for the biggest point gain at 37. Dregoth of Sorcerer Kings remains perfect at 5-
0, and Snorri now leads the unchartered recognition race.

Finally, Rednow Woman has earned a ticket to Advanced Duelmasters after next turn! 
Congratulations! That means everyone has exactly one more chance to hit her before she 
escapes. I mean... wish her well. Definitely that one.

Keep fighting and remember: if someone is named Beware of Doug!, perhaps simply beware 
of Doug.
