Notes from the arena champ.
It is indecent that I should have to fight the Venomous Concubine in the Title
match. Does nobody else care to make the effort?
Dark Lenora
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ZENSU! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Fortune did not smile upon MEN OF 1,000
FACES this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 7th position in the wake of a
0-0-0 round. Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record which BEYOND THE PALE managed to
post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! VIRULENT
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested
AMBITIOUS GUARD and was awarded 16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, BLADE MASTER put down BLONDE GRENADE, causing her to lose 5 points of
recognition in the process. Although VETERAN MERCENARY made a valiant effort, it did
not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DARK LENORA. No confirmation, but my
sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids.
Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ZENSU "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in
ZENSU these days is AS FAR AS SIAM. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding AS FAR AS SIAM. Indeed it was WAR-C-KERS. Loose
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many
fighters are after O. POSTE. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ZENSU as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--

Stump Jumper -- Is that like the, you know, jingle sort of thing, only it doesn't
jingle, about the wood chuck? Like, how many stumps could a stump jumper thump if a
stump jumper could thump stumps? I was just wondering. -- Blonde Grenade
Blade Master -- I'm not going to quote "jingles" at you, cursed golem. -- Jenipher

Is there anybody in the DM game who is incarcerated that has had to litigate in order
to continue playing? Or anyone in the free world who may be able to help me with
case law or legal advice? The Administration has already taken "D&D type games" from
us once (though I recently had that decision overturned). I believe it's only a
matter of time before they try it again and I am prepared to file a lawsuit if need
be. I enjoy DM and any help that could be offered would be greatly appreciated! I

Ladies and gents...get your teams together and join in on the hottest and fiercest
contest ever to grace the arena sands! Intrigue, personal wars, you name it...we got
it going on! What is this contest? It's the Turf War IV in DM 47, North Fork!!
This fantastic contest was begun by my alliance mate Asmo Dius, and I've picked up
some of the slack. Contest starts on Turn 225 (approx. date June 9th?). It's an
"alliance-type contest", so grab your folks and bring them in for a bang up time.
Rules will be printed in the DM 47 newsletter at least until the contest starts. --
