                             Notes from the arena champ.

At long last, I am your Duelmaster!  It's been a long time coming.  Thanks to Erbin
Frorlin for quickly giving up the throne and for the skills.  Up next is my rival,
Straight Line.  I am 2-5 against him.  Let's have at it!  Hopefully, it won't be long
before I get my invite.  Then I'm off to my plot of land to become the farmer I was
meant to be.  No more fighting for me.

Balance of Terror

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  
BALANCE OF TERROR now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  It 
looks like the guys(?) at MIDDLE WAY had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them 
in 3rd place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for QUINTUS, who flew 
up 16 points in the rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was YELLOW ORC, who 
dropped 5 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MAYHEM.  Unlike 
most arenas, ETIEN HAXAN managed to get his challenge off against the 20-29-1 
STRAIGHT LINE.  Our battling duelmaster ETIEN HAXAN has managed to hold the title, 
fending off STRAIGHT LINE's none too subtle advances.  Better luck next time, MIDDLE 
WAY.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ was 
most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of AIM 4 ISLE 
HAMMERZ's warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you who like math, try this one: 
AIM 4 ISLE HAMMERZ + Weapons That go Boom = FIELDS OF ELYSIUM + Avoid City.  Well 
just about everybody wants a piece of STRAIGHT LINE, who was this week's most 
challenged warrior.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, ARTEMIDORUS went 
after VIOLET ORC, who was higher by 18 points.  Well, when the dust settled, 
ARTEMIDORUS was beat by VIOLET ORC.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Yesterday I talked to the FIELDS 
OF ELYSIUM's manager and ERBIN FRORLIN, slayer of SAPHRONICUS.  The manager:  'I 
think I can, I think I can'.  ERBIN FRORLIN:  'I already did'.  Remember:  alliances 
are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ALJAFIR have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
