                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings, Willaf! 'Tis I, Keenwind, and a new wind blows across the throne of the 
Duelmaster. Seems that Esmerelda didn't want the throne very much, considering how she 
folded under the weight of but a single attack thrown. Perhaps she will acquit herself 
better in her next bout.

Not much else going on here in Willaf, to be honest. Apparently The Iron Council is 
back in business, but I'm not sure that affects us much here in our fair city. Still, 
good for the gladiatorial business in general to have another alliance to contend 
with.

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

                                          -- Keenwind, your Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  It was a tough week for FAR TRAVELERS, to drop 6 places in the 
rankings.  Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, CADDYSHACK has advanced 8 places in 
the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for AWD GOGGIE, who flew up 18 points in the 
rankings after mashing PALMER GREEN like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was POWERWIND, who dropped 13 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with SANDY POINT.  Well, everybody's pal 
KEENWIND moved his record to 19-11-1 by defeating FINNY BONE in the Duelmaster's 
Title Bout and gaining 10 recognition points.  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 MENTOR-SHIPS3 was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of MENTOR-SHIPS3's 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause TRICKSTERS beats feet every time MENTOR-SHIPS3 smiles at them.  Try 
farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, PALMER GREEN would be 
president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  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 WILLAF 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.  And remember, you 
can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one 
already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
