                             Notes from the arena champ.

Oh, man! As the infamous scribe once said, "It's the end of the world as we know it!"
  
The Terminus has arrived. Koniec sits the throne.  [The name is Polish for "The End".]  
How much longer he sits the throne is up for debate. Will he be knocked off the 
throne, or get his invite first? Time will tell.

I think Neon could have found better new teammates for us. Maybe one of them will be 
worth something, but the other...hopeless. Where does The Commission find these 
losers? And the nerve to call them "recruits".  

And what is with this "Neon Trees" warrior? Naming a warrior after Neon's team in 
Solven? Confuses the hell out of him every turn.

Until next time, Riztab.  May the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Koniec, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out RIZTAB to see 
what's new.  The guys at NEON TERMINUS like really pulled together to get a 2-2-0 
this turn, moving up by 6.  MVP award for NEON TREES?  WOOD ROCK's proud of her after 
beating ARISTOTLE and getting 19 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  ARISTOTLE 
got smashed by NEON TREES, and lost 17 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be 
the most popular guy in all RIZTAB.  He got the most challenges.  (But what about 
proposals?) Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think KONIEC should 
let PASCAL be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Who was the wiseguy 
that said RIZTAB's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Warty Toad?  Don't look at 
me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  NEON TERMINUS was RIZTAB's most avoided team.  Is 
there some award for that?  I don't know what TOP 5 MUSKS' been doing.  They 
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from NEON TERMINUS, that's fer sher.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, 
that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  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
