                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen,

If I may have the court's attention, it's high time I presented the evidence of this 
peculiar band of warriors I've assembled. A team of misfits, yes, but each one a 
fighter with conviction and a taste for precision -- masters of a discipline the world 
too often overlooks: the parry-strike.

Every combatant sworn to this cause will learn the art of turning defense into offense 
-- and in honor of the craft, each shall bear the name of "Perry."

I, naturally, take the name Perry Mason -- fictional attorney at law and, in this 
case, speaker for this unusual troupe. Then there's Perry Farrell, the voice behind 
Jane's Addiction; Katy Perry, a name that needs no further introduction; Perry Como, 
crooner and gentleman; and Tyler Perry, whose stories speak louder than any closing 
argument.

Two of our alumni have already graduated from the arena -- Matthew Perry and Perry the 
Platypus. Their cases have been closed, but their spirit remains part of the record.

So, to all our opponents waiting in the sands -- consider this your summons. The case 
of The Parry-Strikers vs. The World is now in session.

                                          -- Mason

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ALJAFIR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  And let's see, SCARA fought 
APHRACE and gained 19 points and contributed to TROLLS' 3-2-0.  FARRELL has lost to 
TACO TRUCK, falling 14 points, while helping make PERRY STRIKE FORCE a 4-1-0 turn.  
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and MASON remains ALJAFIR's top 
warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team 
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Vile Vizier until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the ASSASSINS stable was 
the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ALJAFIR, what are you afraid of?  And 
avoiding ASSASSINS more than any other team we find TROLLS.  ALJAFIR, are we going to 
accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that 
DISTINGUISHED from WHEN EAGLES DARE was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn.  
In a brave attempt, KATY from PERRY STRIKE FORCE challenged up 21 points to fight 
RALF TANNER from the MIDDLE WAY stable.  KATY perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing 
as she beat RALF TANNER and ended up with 18 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ALJAFIR and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
