                             Notes from the arena champ.

The throne has been Zonked!!  After a very short visit to the Pet Shop, here I am. Who 
knows how long I will stay here. Not a lot of active challengers for the throne, so 
maybe I'll get stuck fighting stand-ins? Not sure I could hold my own versus some of 
them. After all, a 7 wit only takes you so far. Good thing this arena sucks.

We bid a fond farewell to Restoration, and wish him a long and fruitful stay sparring 
with The Lady's best.  

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

                                          -- The Zonk, your Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ZUKAL. 
Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  PET SHOP FLOYD now holds the crown 
and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for TOBY TERRIER, 
who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing AMBITIOUS GUARD like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was BOMBAY 
FLOYD, who dropped 7 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with ROVING 
DEMON.  Our battling duelmaster THE ZONK has managed to hold the title, fending off 
CHIHUAHUA FLOYD's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, PET SHOP FLOYD.  
Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZUKAL have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la 
bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
