Notes from the arena champ.
Shucks, I cannot leave you all without telling you about me. Bragging?
Perhaps. But it is not meant to be. Rather, let's term it educational for those who
wish to read.
17(+3)-21-11-7(+2)-21(+3)-5(+1)-13(+2) TP
21-6-0 record with 3 DM titles
Awesome Endurance and Great damage ability
Ratings - only an adex parry

Learned 0.93 skills per fight
Used the BA @ 0/19/2 (didn't like to swing much)
I am off to retirement. Wish me well.

SPY REPORT
Hail KALTOS! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as TEAM CHAOS ELITE is pushed
out of top team by PAPER MARIO, who came from 2nd with a 0-4-0 this turn. The SPORTS
GREATS guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, ALI fought TINY TOES
and gained 21 points and contributed to SPORTS GREATS' 3-0-0. CLANK has lost to
WOODS, falling 17 points, while helping make PAPER MARIO a 0-4-0 turn. We should ask
HELENE JUSTE about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for
a warrior, she's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at The Victory Tavern?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. THE MIDDLE WAY 5 has cause to
stand tall, as they were KALTOS' most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a
team to beat. And guess who avoided THE MIDDLE WAY 5 stable the most? Believe it or
not, it was PAPER MARIO. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn
was PAPER MARIO's warrior BOMBETTE. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster!
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. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in KALTOS and I've a long road
ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in KALTOS again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Let me outta here! I want to go hunt treasure with Fergis. He is such a hot guy! --
Bombette
Helene -- Don't mind me if I take my frustrations out on you. A gal needs an outlet,
don't you think? -- Bombette
Jeri -- I enjoyed our tussle. You could have had me. (wink) -- Star Rod
Elinde -- Well, I have a nicer nose that Pinocchio. AND, I am a very nice golem. --
Twink (heading to Crysalis)
Alice -- I like you in chains. It made things easier. -- Clank
Embezzling Scribe -- Thanks for the neat intro. -- Tiny Toes
Bombette -- Showing off for Fergus? Do you actually think he'll notice? -- Helene
Juste
P.S. He's rather imperceptive, you know, which is to say, he's a man. I bet he
wouldn't notice if you died your hair green and gelled it to stand out straight like
a sea urchin's spines.
Star Rod -- I could hate you--easily! But four skills and a rating...maybe I won't
hate you. This is a good return for the loss. -- Jeri Lough
Iron Maiden -- Er, ah. (drags his toe back and forth in the dust) Um. Would you
mind a lot if *I* was your secret admirer? -- Orverd Quill
Moon Child -- (grimly) It's just a phase you're going through, right? It will END.
With an eclipse if necessary. -- Elinde Goss
Wrathchild -- Huh. Well, as Jeri so truly said (which is unusual and I will treasure
the memory always), four skills and a rating is not a bad return for losing. --
Gerdig Ibbins
P.S. I suppose the deal is, we learn intensively now, and then spend a couple years
passing it on to a succession of hotshots. Well, there are worse lives.
Luigi, Twink, and the Paper Marios -- It's true that I have never before seen the
Wurm Kin used to bait a fishhook. What do you expect to catch with him? A
leviathan, surely! -- Jorja
Bombette -- For you, maybe. -- Jeri
Our congratulations to Star Rod. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
