                             Notes from the arena champ.

     And continuing the great tradition of this team, I take the title after
defeating a Virginal Concubine.  Does this mean I'm about to graduate, too?

                                     Eldon Kree

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in SOLVEN this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, JULES fought CHICKEN GUARD and 
gained 18 points and contributed to SERPENTS HOLD's 4-1-0.  EMBEZZLING HEN has lost 
to SWEETNESS, falling 7 points, while helping make HENPCS a 2-3-0 turn.  Defending 
his title for another turn, ELDON KREE kept SOLVEN's warrior, VETERAN MERCENARY, from 
claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes 
their losing fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the HENPCS stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on SOLVEN, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided HENPCS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was SERPENTS HOLD.  
Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that CHICKEN GUARD from HENPCS was 
SOLVEN's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     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, SOLVEN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in SOLVEN again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

And just to prove it wasn't a fluke last time, again I have defeated M. Chardinee.
So there. -- Chawlie Istta

Embezzling Hen -- You're a fool bird, you know.  It takes delicacy and acute control
to embezzle successfully, and you orcish hens have neither. -- Gorlon Inthur

Jules -- I should have KNOWN you'd be an elf.  Flashy and unfair, that's elves
through and through. -- Lynnis Nall, biased and not caring who knows it
