                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Even with tourney fights, I believe you to have been unfairly matched against
me, Sonny.  On the whole, I'm glad you didn't die; we have too few swordsmen here to
spare one.

                                     Felissa Hurm

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
KALTOS.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to WIZARD'S WRATH, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
THE MIDDLE WAY 5 stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for CREDIT CARD, who flew up 20 
points in the rankings after mashing IRVINA KORL like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  IRVINA KORL was 
beat by CREDIT CARD and drops 12 points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with 
aught but bloody knuckles was KALTOS' KHALHUMS DWARF, who was turned away from the 
Duelmastership by FELISSA HURM.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to 
deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Here's some advice:  warriors with little 
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Hasta la 
bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

M. Chardinee?  That wasn't a very... exciting fight to be met with a graduation
notice.  Still, I'll take it.  I wonder if I could get a good deal on an apartment
here, move out of the guildhouse and find a life of my own? -- Katirona Murh

Kadasya -- Then maybe you need to bathe elsewhere.  A well-run bathhouse generally
doesn't run to monsters in the bathing pools. -- Pendru Rost

Oh, well, I suppose even Ambitious Guards have to fight when their numbers come up.
-- Irvina Korl

Credit Card -- Eh, I'm not going to touch YOU! -- Kolver "Always Pay Cash" Moon

Katirona Murh -- Congratulations, and I hope you aren't going to be as troublesome as
your teammate!  Graduated gladiators are supposed to LEAVE.  Having a lot of them
underfoot, assuming that they have privileges which they have not, in fact, been
granted, is a terrible burden to put on the constabulary.  Not that you won't be
missed, and, hmm, a pleasing young lady would not, perhaps, be as disruptive as Jammy
Larke has been....  Hmm.  How about if you join me for dinner at the Golden Ship and
we discuss the situation? -- Arenamaster Troktai

26 August 09
     There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong
     arenas.  When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct
     arena number!  It's easy for a finger to slip onto the wrong key.  When the
     receipt comes back, check again to be sure it went where you intended!
     Vigilance is your friend, and mine too. -- the Editor
