                             Notes from the arena champ.

Now that is how a plan is supposed to come together!  Dawnbringer graduates and I get 
to slip onto the vacated throne after downing Mohoncito.  It was a good plan.  

And now I sit on this throne looking out at all of the other gladiators wishing they 
could be me.  Ok, so they probably don't want to be me, they want to be themselves 
just sittin' where I am currently sittin'.  Well, you will have to wait!  My next 
great plan is to keep this seat for myself for a little while.  I will share it with 
the rest of you through these words of little wisdom, but the plan is to hang onto 
this title for a bit.  Sounds like a good plan, right?  And we have already 
established that I like a good plan.

And finally, some Sentinels history.  Dawnbringer was the 33rd graduate from the 
Sentinels squad here in dear old Bonsur.  He was the third TP (Joining Baerra and 
Ozawindib).  That would make for a third round-robin for the team except for those 
pesky plungers.  Erasmus is our only graduate of that illustrious style which leaves 
us a bit short on the round-robin front.  Ah well, I hear we have another coming.  

Have one on the Arena Master at the Red Sands Tavern!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for BONSUR.  Uncool, CRAZY CO-WORKERS.  I mean 
0-3-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to fight?  I say use 'em for training 
practice!  BUNION SQUAD like really fought hard to move up to 5th from 11th.  Way to 
go!  MVP award for BLITZ BISCUIT?  ODD SQUAD's proud of him after beating DON QUE 
JOTE and getting 18 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  AVALANCHE got smashed 
by DUENDE, and lost 6 points!  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I 
think CAROOM should let SHINE be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  
Who was the wiseguy that said BONSUR's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty 
Toad?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  CHAOS KIDS was the most avoided team.  Is a 74-98-8 record really 
that scary?  I don't know what SENTINELS' been doing.  They certainly haven't been 
accepting many fights from CHAOS KIDS, that's fer sher.  Can CHAOS KIDS' AMANDA be 
more popular than me?  She was challenged the most, but is that really the same?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All BONSUR ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  I was SO depressed when I heard DON QUE JOTE got killed.  He was 
just a kid, and didn't get a fair chance in BONSUR, or anything!  Hey you guys, don't 
you think your families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write 
for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Cataclysm -- Yeah, that challenge was wrong.  We missed a turn. So the rankings 
changed.  Manager said to lay down & give up the win.  You were better anyway.  See 
you in Valhalla. -- Don Que Jote

Reavers -- One more shot at revenge.  Although you can keep challenging after that, it 
just doesn't get you that pretty word in the dead columns. -- Dawn Squire

As a TP, multiple wins against Aimers is pretty nice way to leave an arena.  My thanks 
to the Aimers at the top! -- Dawnbringer

Mighty Ned -- I suspect you are getting tired of us. -- Shan and the Sentinels

Santa Ana -- That was not exciting, no matter what the crowd thought -- Cataclysm

Nomad -- Once more into the breach? -- Chase

Dawn Squire -- That ending almost started another Bloodfeud. -- Quietus

Hellcat -- That was AWESOME!!! -- Scalpiterai

Eccentric Echo -- Another painful lesson. -- The Lady

Duende -- There it is! -- Shine

Valverde -- I now see why you are using that particular weapon. -- Star

Dawn Squire -- Scalphunter. -- Scalpiterai
