                             Notes from the arena champ.

     You ever wonder what kind of world the Commission scribes live in?  Our team has
been running continuously for years, and they say our team was absent last turn?
Absent the last three turns, if I understand them, though we have fifteen fights
listed.  Yes, okay, I'm putting it off.  I really don't want to know who got killed
this time.  No help for it, though....
     Ghost of Irontower and Floyd, if the arena in question had been this small,
anyone might have had the same disastrous effect.  This does not excuse it, never
think I'm trying to do that.  After all, what's three kills in someplace like Sunset?
But Jorja, who mostly runs in the small arenas, says she's seen it before, and been
on the receiving end often enough.
     Ah, I fought the Lost Potato Farmer.  Him, I wouldn't have minded killing, but I
restrained myself.  Don't want to encourage the pathology.  And I'm out.  Graduation
details on request.  I didn't get much of a look at 'em, Jorja whisked them into a
"safe place" so fast.  But I did catch a disgusted mutter about war flails....

                                      Wolfdog

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail DULLENS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as CARDOW HUNTERS is pushed 
out of top team by ARCANE ROYALTY, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn.  And 
let's see, FLOYD CASTAWAY fought GRIM LAUGHTER and gained 15 points and contributed 
to ARCANE ROYALTY's 3-2-0.  GRIM LAUGHTER has lost to FLOYD CASTAWAY, falling 14 
points, while helping make CARDOW HUNTERS a 2-3-0 turn.  Defending his title for 
another turn, WOLFDOG kept DULLENS' warrior, TOODLES ENSLAVED!, from claiming the 
throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing 
fighters do dishes at The Yellow Dog Tavern until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that DULLENS has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, DULLENS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in DULLENS and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in DULLENS again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
