                             Notes from the arena champ.

Me, again. That wonderful Scarred warrior. Ole Fisty was scared (scared, not scarred, 
although probably both had he fought me) and stayed away from me. Hence, he lives and 
gets to go to The Isle right along with me. That's all right, I guess for a sneaky 
Druid.

But this is about me, not the losers. I just arrived back from a tournament (results 
unknown), fought my last fight here, won another title, am now a Lord Protector, and 
am on the way to a beachfront retirement. Hubba, hubba!

You lust after my muscular stats? Final details are yet unpublished. (My life-story 
book editor is withholding.) But I can give you this:

11-10-11-17-17-8-11(+1) Good/Good striker.

'Nuff said?

                                          -- Scarred, DMVI

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in TOBIR. 
Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Coming up with 
a solid 1-1-0 outing, THE DOGHOUSE has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  It looks 
like the guys(?) at SAXON had a good week as they went 4-0-0 to put them in 3rd 
place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for STRIP TEASE, who flew up 
18 points in the rankings after mashing CALIX like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was CALIX, who dropped 15 points after 
a disappointing (to say the least) bout with STRIP TEASE.  Well, if ya don't shows up 
at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  SCARRED did not fight this week so 
his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the ANYTHING GOES stable, as their 
warrior, UPPITY, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying 
me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that SAGE SOLDIERS was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of SAGE SOLDIERS' 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause ANYTHING GOES beats feet every time SAGE SOLDIERS smiles at them.  
Try farming, eh?  And who is this LT KERRI STRUG you ask, with 75 points and a 
10-11-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  In a touching display by a 'touched' 
warrior, UPPITY went after FIST OF KROSA, who was higher by 22 points.  Well, when 
the dust settled, UPPITY subdued FIST OF KROSA.   
     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, there's the manager of the TOBIR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya next time 
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
