                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Oh, my! No way! No way! I didn't at all mean to kill Thyleasea!
No! Sure, I wanted to win, But, but ........ that wasn't in the plan
at all! Now, all I can do is apologize. I AM SORRY. May the gods treat
Thy with all the tributes of a mighty warrior of class and honor.
     I may be Duelmaster, but I am a sad one.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome LIN TIRIAN.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  HOWLIN CASE 
were a bunch of dogs after PERRY COUNTY got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 
1st!  What's with SILVER STUD?  He actually beat SAND DANCERS' BIG ONE, and walked 
away with 16 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at TOP FIVE SCALES while 
they watched LADY JUSTICE'S clobber APALONA.  She lost 14 points and got bruised from 
objects thrown from the stands.  I'm sure LIN TIRIAN is excited about MANNE'S LOVE 
CHILD, the new Duelmaster from BECAUSE HA.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many 
as I have...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  LIN TIRIAN thinks HOWLIN 
CASE and their 243-165-9 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  In 
my day, no team with a 242-164-9 would scare me off!  What's the problem, PERRY 
COUNTY?   
     Warriors of LIN TIRIAN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  How long have 
I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  LIN 
TIRIAN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
