                             Notes from the arena champ.

     This is the curtain call for me. The Lady has designated me Lord Protector, and I 
will shortly be on my way to The Isle. Good bye and good luck to all.
     I have enjoyed my stay in Arkers, having fine teammates and a great manager. 
Mostly, though, I have enjoyed the bi-weekly feasts and the perks of the throne. The 
turkey and dressing in Arkers is especially delicious! (And beating a few turkeys is 
downright pleasant also. -wink-)
     I will leave you with all I know about myself. Perhaps it will aid newcomers to 
plan for winning warriors and Duelmasters. Perhaps. (Note: all info excludes this past 
fight and notification of faves.)

          adexes in those same three skills mentioned above
          seemed to like the pointy weapons best:
               SS/LO = 21-93-3
               HA/DA = 0-5-0
               QS = 3-27-3
               FI = 2-19-0

     There will be another Duelmaster. I wish him or her all the success I have had.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ARKERS.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  BORN LOSERS were a 
bunch of dogs after SMITHSONIAN got through with 'em!  1st ain't so sweet as 2nd!  
What's with WILY GIT?  He actually beat HOYT FOUNDATION's SHAWNDO, and walked away 
with 23 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at HOYT FOUNDATION.  SHAWNDO lost 
14 points to WILY GIT.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe SHAWNDO will provide 
more easy wins...  Har har har!  Did PILGRIM wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, 
he's not Duelmaster anymore.  I'm sure ARKERS is excited about GOLD RUSH, the new 
Duelmaster from SMITHSONIAN.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  
I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  
Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  
ARKERS thinks HOYT FOUNDATION and their 158-154-15 is too much!  If at first you 
don't succeed, give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at BLOODY HAND 
CLAN ain't reelin'!  HOYT FOUNDATION's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the 
most challenged warrior, WILY GIT!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  RADTEEF WAZGRIM larned his lesson (THE LUMBERJACK 
taught it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any HOYT FOUNDATION 
members with the same gusto.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  
You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm 
writing it before you read it.  Oh, well.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. 
Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Yes! Again! We Smithsonians are so proud of Pilgrim, a three-time Duelmaster, and now, 
Lord Protector. -- Curator

Hey, Z Gladiatorz! Come on back to the arena. We need you. -- Curator and The 
Smithsonians

Death Leaser, a Hoyter, challenged me? Gettysburg? Now he is really gone, like a Born 
Loser. RIP, I guess. -- Gettysburg

Hoyt Foundation, it is never our intent or desire to kill. Sometimes, though, the 
arena is a deadly place. We are sorry for your loss. May Death Leaser fight well in 
That Great Arena In The Sky. -- Curator

Another Hoyter, The Beggar, challenged me, the DM? I cannot blame him for wanting this 
spot. Well, I guess he will just have to try again, then. Perhaps he will get lucky 
and not lose again. -- Pilgrim, DMIII

Everybody wants a piece of Smithsonian, eh? Eiger The Hardy challenged Gold Rush, and 
then realized he wasn't really hardy enough. -- Curator

Radteef lost another toof fighting me. So sorry. (Well, not really.) -- Buffalo Roams

We Smithsonians are proud of our 4-0-1. We wish Bunker Hill had participated to make 
it a 5-0. But, he had a meeting in Philadelphia hoping to ratify some more prtovinces 
for the cause. -- Pilgrim, Gettysburg, Gold Rush, and Buffalo Roams

Health. Humility. Honor. -- Curator

Pilgrim -- ***John Wayne Voice*** Congrats on the invite to the Isle... Pilgrim. -- 
Longshot

The Shrieker -- My cousin, Halin, told me not to get involved in this business. He 
said it was a dirty gruesome affair. But did I listen? Of course not. Two more... -- 
Ral Stormbreaker

Fratsfa Mercenary -- A win is a win. I will take it. Especially in this environment. 
-- Kangri the Strong

Captured Orc -- Same for me. I will take that win. Sorry about your left knee. I was 
aiming for your right arm. -- Albus Bonerattler

Gold Rush -- You would think I would learn from my mistakes. No. I just get up and run 
in the whirling blades. Good fight. -- Eiger the Hardy

What do you mean that I killed someone? All I did was throw some antiseptic into the 
arena before my fight. Smelled like someone left a cow carcass on the sands. -- Hal 
the Crazed

Soulman Dan- Donbt ya eva hit wit' dat baloney slic ah again. Next time, I will hack 
yas ta bitz. Hur hur hur. -- Gorgrub Waalug

Pilgrim- Wot?!?!? Yoos got an invite ta da Isle? ...heh... Yoos shouldn't be 'der.... 
Heh... Ya should be sitt'n on ...da korna wit' a tin kup an' a krutch begg'n. No fair!

Buffalo Roams- I use ta like buffalo. Dey is tasty anb fill'n ta ma belly. Now? Not so
