                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings, Iaye! It is I, Rule of Thumb, penning this column from the Duelmaster's 
throne. Glory to me, and to all those mighty ones who reached the summit of Iaye's 
splendour before me!

The Gladiatorial Commission has this day informed me of my invitation to the Advanced 
Games, along with title and lands. This means that I am left with only one turn to 
defend the throne here in Iaye. My challenges are quite clear, as only two gladiators 
are lofty enough in the rankings to match with Iaye's Duelmaster. Aunt Sadie and 
Kendel Mintcake will get my challenges, both from guilds of the highest standing and 
renown here. May the stongest warrior prevail!

Strength and Honor!

                                          Your Duelmaster,

                                          Lord Protector Rule of Thumb

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in IAYE this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
HARD KNOCKS is pushed out of top team by LENPROS, who came from 3rd with a 2-1-0 this 
turn.  And let's see, LORD MONTY fought MARY CATHERINE and gained 13 points and 
contributed to THE YOUNG ONES' 2-2-1.  DIRTY SOCK has lost to HYNDLA, falling 9 
points, while helping make THE YOUNG ONES a 2-2-1 turn.  Somebody's not going to like 
this, (then again, somebody will), but our Duelmaster, RULE OF THUMB, has died, and 
WARLOCK has killed him.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team 
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Wharf Rat until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the THE YOUNG ONES stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on IAYE, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding THE 
YOUNG ONES more than any other team we find LENPROS.  IAYE, are we going to accept, 
or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that KENDAL MINTCAKE 
from THE YOUNG ONES was IAYE's most challenged warrior this turn.  AUNT SADIE of 
LENPROS had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a challenge 
which she won.  I thought AUNT SADIE showed great skill and promise when she defeated 
KENDAL MINTCAKE.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  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.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in IAYE, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in IAYE again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
