                             Notes from the arena champ.

My hitting streak must have impressed someone. I got my invite to the Isle! Maybe I 
can crack Neon's roster up in The Show.  

It's nice to see that half the teams in the arena are new teams. We need some new 
blood around here. Maybe it will make it easier to garner five arena awards, like Neon 
Jocks did last turn. Of course, we might need Blitz Captain to capture the throne when 
I take off. Let's see what the athletic gods have in store for us.

Until we meet again on the Isle, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
MALCORN brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see SQUASHSQUATCH win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
BECKY beat CLEAN-UP HITTER and CLEAN-UP HITTER lost 1 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, MALCORN may be getting bland, as PINCH 
HITTER stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how 
else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  NEON 
JOCKS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.  Care 
to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was THANKSGIVING HORRORS.  Ha ha ha 
ha!  CAPYBARA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the 
DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  And we have BLITZ CAPTAIN in a challenge, going 
down 10 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought BLITZ CAPTAIN showed great 
skill and promise when he bested DANCING TROLL.  All right, so I slept through it!  
Big deal!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of MALCORN.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are 
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
