                             Notes from the arena champ.

     O.k. Now that is four. I enjoy occupying the throne. Something about it is both 
comforting and exciting. You warriors out there should give it a try sometime -- but 
later, eh?    
     I want to acknowledge two of my teammates who will be competing in Tempe. First 
is Snuffy who has the courage and willpower to compete in Adepts, even though he is 
not at all maxed. And then our newby, but old man, Grandpa William, who will be a 
Rookie. Funny, eh? Rookie Grandpa?! 
     Meanwhile I shall try to hold down the fort, and win my way out of here. Dead or 
alive, no Iaye would be a sad thing.          
                                             -- Max DMIV

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail IAYE!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as HARD KNOCKS is pushed out 
of top team by THE YOUNG ONES, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  And let's 
see, BAZ fought KRIEGHUND and gained 19 points and contributed to THE YOUNG ONES' 
4-1-0.  KRIEGHUND has lost to BAZ, falling 11 points, while helping make HARD KNOCKS 
a 2-3-0 turn.  Well done, IAYE, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Perhaps MAX is not as thrilled, being challenged 6 times.  PROSPECTOR 
WILLIE challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone LENPROS' 
warrior.  And not without some honor, PROSPECTOR WILLIE now claims the title and 
throne of Duelmaster of IAYE.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last 
night, cramped under the table at The Rat Nest?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  THE YOUNG ONES has cause to stand tall, as 
they were IAYE's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And guess who avoided THE YOUNG ONES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was BOOT 
HILL.  Anyone surprised?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that IAYE has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, IAYE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in IAYE and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in IAYE again, farewell-- Alarond 
the Scribe
