                             Notes from the arena champ.

Fare well on the isle, Lady Protector Beach Betty!  Finally the Sentinels have
claimed victory as one of the ladies was on their way out of town.  It was a good
fight.
     The absence of one of the Babes at the top begins a restructuring of the arena's
top warriors.  Sure, Sandy Shore is still around, but beyond the one Babe there does
not appear to be another warrior with close to 50 FE around.  At least in terms of
visible FE, the champions division is getting younger.  That should make for some
interesting challenges.
     It is a short column this time around.

Huntsman, Duelmaster of Bonsur

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in BONSUR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  BRUTAL LEGION stable has parlayed 
this turn's 2-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 7th 
place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, FATALITY fought HENRI and gained 19 points 
and contributed to BRUTAL LEGION's 2-1-0.  HENRI has lost to FATALITY, falling 13 
points, while helping make IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS a 3-2-0 turn.  And not without some 
honor, SOLSKJAER now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of BONSUR.  Tell me, 
is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging 
Aardvark uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  BRUTAL LEGION has cause to stand tall, as 
they were BONSUR's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And guess who avoided BRUTAL LEGION stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that SANDY 
SHORE from BEACH BABES was BONSUR's most challenged warrior this turn.  BARTEZ from 
IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS took a risk this turn by bravely challenging up 26 points in a 
challenge against SLAMMER.  But Fate isn't always willing to be cheated, and BARTEZ 
was bested by SLAMMER, and AMEN! has not stopped laughing.   
     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, WESTNMAFIA has lost GRENDEL, 
and BONSUR is bound to miss him.  For a little while, at least.  A brave warrior does 
not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  
Consider well.   
     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 BONSUR and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in BONSUR again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

And the Brutal Legion is back!  I must admit I was pleased to show Chaos what a well
planned out assault can do! Sometimes chaos is simply, well, chaotic...and that isn't
a good thing. -- Erasmus

Debbie -- That was not what I had in mind.  I'm thinking the hunt for favorite
rhythms continues.  Back to the cave wall/drawing board. -- Neanderthal

Sue -- One Church Lady got the best of Neanderthal, the other goes down.  I guess
that is fair. -- Obrojobo

Paul -- Now that was a nice little fight.  How many "punished" lines do you think
you'll have to hear in your career? -- Ogresmasher

Huntsman -- I salute a worthy opponent.  Long may you hold the title, and may you
live to graduate.  I am looking forward to my retirement.  I've got a little place
adjacent to the team's vinyard and cabana, and I plan to kick back and sample the
vin.  Come by and help me, any time. -- Beach Betty

Slammer -- I'm not sure where you get the "amen" out of that, and I don't think I
want to know.  Of course, I can see where "slammer" characterizes your approach to
dueling just FINE.  Oog. -- Sandy Shore

Artis -- It gave me a grue when you advanced on me so grimly and with such patent
determination.  I could just SEE a long line of Good Works in my future, and I ducked
out as fast as I could.  Barely fast enough, as it happens. -- Pensacolita
P.S.  I haven't finished my young, irresponsible beach bunny days.

James Tippy-Toes -- Ooooh, cunning!  I get so wrapped up in watching you mince around
on your toes, and wondering what it all MEANS, and then WHAMMO!  You turn the fight
around and come in like a mad butcher.  I hate that. -- Long Beach Lila

Condemned Pirate?  It's a dad-blasted Dangerous Criminal of the Sea!  Well, maybe not
OFFICIALLY, in ARENA terms, but still, NOT somebody I want to hang out with. --
N'Orleans Nora

Huntsman -- Ah, it is good to see that other people sometimes wonder where these
names come from, too.  Maybe Slammer goes around slamming people upside the head to
convert them? -- Beach Betty

Obrojobo -- Ah, big juju, hmm?  I can go with that. -- N'Orleans Nora

Slammer -- Boo! -- Ghost of Galveston Gal
