                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Kati-Tei!!!  What do we have here.... dogs peeing on fire hydrants, dogs
spawning from the devil, dawgs that are lucky and defy the odds, dogs that are man's
best friend... and me, the one and only dog with multiple personalities sitting on
the throne for multiple turns... don't you like how that all works out?
     I've simply lost count how many times I've been perched up here while wearing
these purple robes, and for some dog-gone reason The Plague has decided they don't
want to play with the big dog of this fair city.  I'm once again challenging The Wait
and Angel of Arkham.... will they decide to show their decrepit hides this turn?

Now come on... everyone in unison say this with me:

Until next turn....
     Same doggy time,
          Same doggy place,
               Same doggy channel,
                    Your Duelmaster,
                         Skitzoid Snoopy  (card holding member of LOL)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in KATI-TEI a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as WANDERERS is pushed out of top team by DA DOG POWNDAZ, who came from 
3rd with a 5-0-1 this turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and 
SKITZOID SNOOPY remains KATI-TEI's top warrior for another turn.  Tell me, is nothing 
sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls 
in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the THE STORM 
FRONT stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on KATI-TEI, what are you 
afraid of?  And avoiding THE STORM FRONT more than any other team we find THE PLAGUE. 
KATI-TEI, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, 
take notice that BALIN CHANE from WANDERERS was KATI-TEI's most challenged warrior 
this turn.  In a brave attempt, UBBA-SATHLA from THE PLAGUE challenged up 19 points 
to fight MARLIN REEVE from the WANDERERS stable.  UBBA-SATHLA perhaps got his just 
desserts, seeing as he won victory over MARLIN REEVE and ended up with 66 recognition 
points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that KATI-TEI has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in KATI-TEI 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
