                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Greetings, Marma Duke!  Jhans is turning into a popular place.  I have a strong
feeling Deviation isn't gonna suck.  Feeling Minnesota was no pushover.  Underated
movie, BTW.
     Jorja, I am still looking forward to Rhakaras against Chester.  Maybe it
happened this turn.
     Last question -- who runs Serpents Hold?

Rhakaras DM of Jhans

Hawk, Mngr Temple of Steel

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for JHANS.  What was the name of that team who 
got 3-1-0 this turn for a total 8-2-0 you ask?  (Sure)  SERPENTS HOLD's their name, 
and fighting's their game!  MVP award for SIDEWINDER?  SERPENTS HOLD's proud of him 
after beating DOOBY DOOBY DOO and getting 25 points.  Talk about yer big time losers! 
20TH CENTURY FOX got smashed by VIPER, and lost 8 points!  Don't you think the 
Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think RHAKARAS should let CHESTER GRELL be Duelmaster 
for a while, without fighting about it.  Who was the wiseguy that said JHANS' 
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Lucas Lounge?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of SERPENTS HOLD must be getting lonely.  They were 
the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  Hhmph!  What kind 
of warriors are TEMPLE OF STEEL?  SERPENTS HOLD, an easy team to beat if I ever saw 
one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  Like, is HILDRETH LAMONT popular, or 
what?  He was challenged the most in all of JHANS!  He's got a 3-8-0, is that good?  
VALKHAN must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  He challenged JONZ 
KLEE.  12 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought VALKHAN 
showed great skill and promise when he bested JONZ KLEE.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Hey you guys, don't you think your 
families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  JHANS is like such a dump, and you guys smell 
too much!  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
