                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Look, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.  Ya know?  And I'm Duelmaster,
so fancy that!
     Ole 56th & Wabash, sandbuggered godling that he was, was easy.  Heck, I'm easy.
But I'm easier than he is.  So that's how I won it.  See.
     Now it is probably Well Don.  I hope he likes girls and isn't, well, ya know?  I
think I can show him a few things that'll get his mind off duelin'.  If he likes
girls, I mean.
     You know how it is, right.  My BFF told me this story which kinda sums it up, ya
know?
     See, this three year old boy was standin over the commode holding his privates
and lookin' down at 'em, while his mom was supervising everything.  Inquisitively, he
asked her, "Mom, are these my brains?"
     She replied, "No, Hon; not 'til you grow up."
Smart Mom, I say.
     So, I'm here and ready to show you some tricks.  Try me on. (wink)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt WILLAF will ever be the same.  PANDORA'S CARDS stable has parlayed this 
turn's 1-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd place.  
Good work, guys!  The BLOOD ON THE TRACKS guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to 
be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And 
let's see, HORI BULL fought JUDGEMENT and gained 13 points and contributed to PUNNY 
AMINALS' 2-3-0.  JUDGEMENT has lost to HORI BULL, falling 9 points, while helping 
make PANDORA'S CARDS a 1-1-0 turn.  We should ask WELL DON about the thrill of 
victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to 
ask.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing 
fighters do dishes at The Swinging Aardvark 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.  I also notice that the BLOOD ON THE TRACKS 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on WILLAF, what are you afraid of?  
And guess who avoided BLOOD ON THE TRACKS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
GOLDEN GLADIATORS.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
SHADOWMONGERS' warrior MOONSINGER.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the 
Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, WILLAF, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in WILLAF and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
