                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I am so excited to be here again.  Wow!  What a rush!  And I may just make it
one more, since I have two teammates "blocking" for me.  Life is sweet!
     How about some facts from my short life?  I have won ten fights and lost three.
Only two of the fights were by challenge, and I split them, even though both I made.
A breakdown:
          Losses - 2TP, 1ST (a TP challenged and lost)
          Wins - 3WS, 2AB, 2PR, 1LU, 1SL, 1TP (a LU challenged and won)
I have trained 4 stats, and I am learning at a 2.20 skill/fight rate.
     Fandil The Wise has told me, I am not his "ideal" slasher, but he surely does
like my performance and results.  Me, too!  I'm really, really loving it!
     I want to wish everyone from Ardivent well in the upcoming Mailer.  Bring home
some glory to The Red Sands.
          Sis, Duelmaster II

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ARDIVENT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as FANDILS is pushed out of top team by SERPENT'S HOLD, who came from 2nd 
with a 4-0-0 this turn.  And let's see, LILY CATHERINE fought JENNIMYS COLLIN and 
gained 20 points and contributed to FANDILS' 3-1-1.  TESS TURBO has lost to SABRE, 
falling 7 points, while helping make DEATHTONGUE a 0-5-0 turn.  And all eyes were on 
TANIA PARK this turn as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  ARDIVENT has a new 
victor!  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the 
table at The Victory Tavern?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the DEATHTONGUE stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on ARDIVENT, what are you afraid of?  And 
avoiding DEATHTONGUE more than any other team we find FANDILS.  ARDIVENT, are we 
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that 
BINGO LITTLE from BLUVALLEY WARRIORS was ARDIVENT's most challenged warrior this 
turn.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  I guess it was coming sooner or later, BLUVALLEY WARRIORS has lost 
JENNIMYS COLLIN, and ARDIVENT is bound to miss her.  For a little while, at least.  
Is it really true that ARDIVENT has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just 
thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ARDIVENT and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the 
Scribe

You go, Lenpro!  You and our old friend, Sizzling Sunflower, are lookin' good! -- The
Fandil Team (hinting very positively)

     I'm blaming the lack of a spotlight today on Daylight Savings Time.  Even going
     off it messes up a schedule.  I hope to have something in time for tomorrow's
     games, however. -- the Scribe

Shadow Blade -- You may have been most challenged, and I may have been the unlucky
one to get a challenge through, but you were just plain good and better than me.  I
salute you. -- Uncle Bob

Betty -- I feel mighty, mighty lucky about that! -- Brother Jerome

Binkly -- I do not know where this is all coming from, but I am loving it while it
happens.  It is like a wonderful dream. -- Sis

Jennimys -- I think that was a lot of luck, but I may just have to try again to find
out. -- Lily Catherine

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  May you fight well and prosper on The Red Sands of
Ardivent. -- Fandil The Wise

M. Chardinee?  A Frenchman?  Is he a cook?  A good cook is above rubies, what?  If M.
Chardinee can cook, I'm going to take him home to meet my mother. -- Bingo Little
P.S.  She's looking for a cook.

The Veteran Mercenary is no fun at all!  He talked and talked and talked--don't ask
me what about, I stopped listening after the first minute--and then when I wasn't
paying attention, he clobbered me.  Sneaky! -- Tania Park

Lily Catherine -- Well, at least you didn't KILL me, you bloodthirsty broad. --
Jennimys Collin
P.S.  Of course I was rude!  I was in pain, dammit.  Who WOULDN'T be rude then?

Snorky -- That thing you do that passes for laughing?  Find a different way to laugh,
because that's DISGUSTING. -- Mungo Burke
P.S.  Or blow your nose first.

If that Beggar expects to get AWAY with things just because he's POLITE, he can
expect again. -- Celia Randell
