                             Notes from the arena champ.

I'm overjoyed at Defcon One's invite. That makes seven styles graduated, leaving just 
lunger, basher and parry-riposte.

His numbers, if anyone is interested, are: 13-5-11-21-11-8-15 Master Attack and 
Decisiveness, Ad Expert Initiative and Riposte and Expert in Defense. Short Spear for 
the weapon (which he never used) and M/VL activity level. Learns attack skills and 
maxed out on them. He was also 7-6 in tourneys. Finally, he was +3 or 4 Riposte, +4 
Decisiveness and blessed in Endurance. Sadly, he was hosed in Damage, doing only 
normal.

Good luck to the next Duelmaster, and as always, have fun!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of ARVAT.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  The boys at DEATH BY 
DESIGN left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by JAMAICAN 
SUPERHEROES.  Good show!  DEVIL ADVOCATES after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider 
abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  Nothing 
works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as KNIGHT 
LIFE can attest...  Practice pays for FAYE, who pummelled SUSHI, to pocket 21 points. 
SUSHI certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to FAYE and losing 
15 points in the process!  KOALLAFIED BADA$$ found out that ARVAT isn't a democracy.  
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in ARVAT is 
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so 
did the "warriors" in ARVAT avoid SECRET SQUIRRELS.  The warriors of SECRET SQUIRRELS 
found their efforts at combat frustrated as JAMAICAN SUPERHEROES apparently had more 
important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and 
MANTUS is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't HELL'S HEROES proud!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see BLACK MOON 
RISING retaliate against KNIGHT LIFE in bloodfeud!  Questions are being raised about 
the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in ARVAT would I 
avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARVAT is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for 
ARVAT?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
