                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hail Iaye! It is I, your defending Duelmaster, Krieghund. Many have asked, my name is 
a compound of krieg and hund, Germanic words for war and dog. This will be my final 
fight before accepting the title of Lord Protector and serving the realm in 
immortality.

The top contender will receive my final challenge, and if Max and I do match, I know I 
will be hard pressed to land enough damage to overcome that tough as nails, seasoned 
veteran before my stamina gives out on me. Whatever comes to pass, glory to the 
victorious ones!

That is all that I have to say today, Iaye.

                                          Your proud Duelmaster,

                                          Krieghund

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for IAYE.  MVP award for TACO TUESDAY?  THE 
DONALD'S DELI's proud of it after beating NEAL and getting 17 points.  Don't you 
think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think KRIEGHUND should let MURDER MITTENS be 
Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  I hear the top team insists all 
their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  THE YOUNG 
ONES was the most avoided team.  Is a 112-93-9 record really that scary?  I don't 
know what HARD KNOCKS' been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights 
from THE YOUNG ONES, that's fer sher.  Like, is LORD MONTY popular, or what?  He was 
challenged the most in all of IAYE!  He's got a 7-5-1, is that good?  For sure, I was 
holding my breath when I found out MARY CATHERINE challenged RULE OF THUMB.  After 
all, haven't LENPROS and HARD KNOCKS had a long standing duel in IAYE?  It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but RULE OF THUMB wants me to write about it since he 
was overcame by MARY CATHERINE.  Satisfied?   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  MARY CATHERINE really fought hard against RULE OF THUMB.  That'll teach 
HARD KNOCKS not to go and kill any of LENPROS' guys again, huh!  Fight, fight, fight. 
Is that all you guys can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Its been 
really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Krieghund, nice column, great title defense. Salute! -- All the Lenpros

Well, Snuffy did survive The Mailer with a less-than-mediocre 2-3, but was offed by 
Hard Knocks Rule Of Thumb in a clean fight. My 5-17-13-15-8-5-21 Aimer was not 
destined for greatness, but gave it the old Lenpro try. R.I.P. Snuffy. -- Lenpro

Congrats to all the recent Iaye graduates: 
  Sellsword, Tender Fury & Krieghund of Hard Knocks
  Baz of The Young Ones
May your recruits be of utmost quality. -- Lenpro

Lenpro -- I offer my condolences on the early death of your gladiator, Snuffy, at the 
hands of my own gladiator Rule of Thumb. It was unlooked for on my part. Tonight I 
will offer up garlands of laurels, rare incense, wine, fruits, and salt to the Gods, 
with my prayers for your good fortune in finding a worthy replacement for Snuffy. I 
will ensure that Rule of Thumb remains active and will not avoid your opportunity for 
vengeance. -- Bobby Bigfoot

Sellsword -- SL, 11-3-9-17-10-13-11, departs Iaye with Master ratings in initiative 
and attack (+2 in both of these), Advance Experts in defense and decisiveness (+4 and 
+3 respectively), and an Expert in riposte. Favorites are greataxe, high/very low, and 
learns defense.
Tender Fury -- TP, 11-18(+1)-8-11-18(+1)-9-11, departs with an Advanced Expert in 
parry, Experts in riposte, attack, and defense (+4 in riposte). Her favorites: large 
shield, very low/moderate, learns attack.
These are two of my original team from OrcCon 2025, and my return to the game after a 
dozen or more years away. -- Bobby Bigfoot
