                             Notes from the arena champ.

VEASTIAN, 

Well, I am the first of Pud Power, a GAPDA team, to reach the top of the Arena. I am 
not sure how well I will hold this but I shall warn all challengers: I am Carved Ivory 
for a reason. I will artistically disassemble you. I will carve you up and display 
you. Think not that some Riffile Raff or Neon Pink efforts will be made. Don't think I 
am going to talk about stuffing you, man. You will need a Bandanger to doc a Piano 
against your crippled HIP. Fight you not the great Carved Ivory. You find the need to 
vision your blood and wear plaid. Just don't choke cause you want to Avoid me.

                                        -- Carved Ivory, great Duel Master of Veastian

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  The boys at FLYING CIRCUS II left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by PRIDE OF ALASTARI.  Good show!  
DUREX 100 had cause to celebrate, after CASTER got 21 points by beating DANGEROUS 
CRIMINAL.  THE NOID certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to 
TERNA MYTOH and losing 12 points in the process!  Now I can't insult FARAH, as she 
has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it 
on too thick) Word has it one team in VEASTIAN is using psychics to predict wins.  
They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are VEASTIAN's warriors?  Come, let us see.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
VEASTIAN would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in VEASTIAN is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  VEASTIAN, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has 
agreed to foot my bill at The Swinging Aardvark.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

The Warrior with the gold clasp recently fastened around his sculpted shoulders walked 
past the cheering crowd, which threw red petals that flashed on his porcelain skin. No 
warrior in all of Alastari could carry the look of a sculpted statue with the best 
features of Apollo, Zeus, Hercules, and Hermes.  With a hint of a smile and a 
confident bow to the crowd, he took his seat, a raised platform specifically for the 
arena champion to use between battles. One of the many perks of being Duelmaster.

Yes, Arthur Lemondrop or whatever did choose to do battle. I struck once in the body, 
and second in the body. What brutal, powerful blows did I cast. Note to self:  They 
might figure out I went for the AB or CH.
