                             Notes from the arena champ.

Good afternoon!

Noble has been on a duelmaster throne tear! Not just here where we have occupied the 
throne for a few turns now, but also in other arenas he has been prepping in. Of 
course -- all good things come to an end. With Yoked graduating, and me hitting 30FE 
after this next fight, we will be going quiet and wait for the January tournament. IF 
Noble wants to keep the streak of DMs going here (presuming I win next turn)...he does 
have options. Let's review the best options:

Talon Chop! Of Arcane Etc -- My "longest in the tooth" challenger at this point -- he 
is a 6-6, 80FE slasher. He leaves immediately if he fights (I presume).

Old Flame of Wish List 2007 -- A 15-4, 34FE striker with 119 rec points. This is a 
true short-term fix...if he plays he will be graduated. Tempting...as we know, a 
striker is unlikely to win challengers.

Frenzied Floyd of Faces of Floyd is a 10-3 slasher with 34FE, 2 masters and one ad 
master. 

Canifis Cannabis of Arcane Treasures a 14-8, 36FE striker not as skilled as Old 
Flame... also likely to leave quickly if I play him.

String Theory of Insane Ideas a 6-3 returned from the dead striker with 34FE despite 
her 6-3 arena record.

Shake Your Heads -- Is only 6-8 in arena but sits at 30FE and will be playing in the 
January tournament... so is out of play until then.

Entrana of Places 2C Urbane is a 9-6 plunger with 34FE and 93 rec points. More skilled 
overall than the next possibility...

Rock Em 2 of Urbane's Posse sits at 10-2 with 88 rec points. 23 FE and no political 
points yet... could be a good long-term option. Is only he had more skills learned.

The Continental is an 8-6 Waste with 32FE... would be great against certain styles... 
but obviously compromised against the main styles in the game...

If I win back the throne next turn -- then Noble will have to make a decision. We will 
keep y'all informed! I challenged the scummy Mage Armor hoping to learn a few last 
skills in my last fight before the tournament. Good luck to all!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in DWES EG a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for END OF THE LINE, whose 0-0-0 this turn 
dropped them by 8 into 16th.  THE BARD'S OWN stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 
into a 7 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 6th place.  Good work, 
guys!  And let's see, DREADNOUGHT fought MOSE MANUEL and gained 48 points and 
contributed to WAR TREK's 1-0-1.  RAZIN SEKT has lost to RED STORM, falling 8 points, 
while helping make HOUSE TSALOKHIN E a 0-1-0 turn.  This week's Duelmaster bout was 
between MAGE ARMOR and our Duelmaster JET BLACK BLUR, making a challenge.  Defending 
his title for another turn, JET BLACK BLUR kept HIDDEN MAGIC's warrior, MAGE ARMOR, 
from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team 
makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark until they win.  
Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  Well, sports fans, take notice that 
MAGE ARMOR from HIDDEN MAGIC was DWES EG's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  I guess it was coming sooner or 
later, DEADWOOD has lost MOSE MANUEL, and DWES EG is bound to miss him.  For a little 
while, at least.  The bigger they are, as they say.  And what I say is that 
DREADNOUGHT had better watch out for DEADWOOD, seeing as MOSE MANUEL felled he this 
turn.  Is it really true that DWES EG has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  
Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
