                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well it was certainly a busy turn for we Avid Fans. With apologies to Knight Breed (4-
10-4 attacking Left Leg), both M.C. and I now bid you all adieu, but not before 
stopping by the Dark Arena, which is where I clearly should have gone my first turn 
here.

For those that care (and for those that don't care), I'm a 9-15-18-17-15-5-5 Lunger 
(that 5 DFT makes it hard to hit the Left Leg), -1 in Init, -1 in Def, mode in 
Att/Rip. 91 skills learned in my time here (but that's a lot of fights here too). 
Commission says my faves are Longspear, MO/VH, Learns Init, Prefers Dodge Tactic. 
Oddly enough, despite the skill hosing, odds are more likely that Crip will run me in 
ADM than M.C.

M.C. also got his invite, a former 2 time Duelmaster of Stormcrowe, he was a 13-9-7-
15-21-8-11 Lunger, +4 Decise, +4 Init, +1 Def, mode in Attack, who the commission says 
favours the Epee with a HI/VH rhythm, and learns Defence skills. Despite the bonuses, 
he is likely retired now.

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
STORMCROWE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, AVID FANS, since 
DARQUE FORCES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now let's all 
watch DEAD SILENCE's heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big 
shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BRAWLIPOP 
win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, KUNG-FU MASTER beat TRAUMA QUEEN 
and TRAUMA QUEEN lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Going for broke or 
broken, our Duelmaster SPYMASTER Dark Arena Challenged this turn.  The crowds were 
amazed this turn, as SPYMASTER killed the Duelmaster, SECURITY GUARD, leaving AVID 
FANS in mourning.  This incredible death has allowed, I might add, ADVANCE SCOUT from 
AVID FANS to ascend to the throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  
I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to know 
what's new, don't you, STORMCROWE?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
STORMCROWE, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  THE BLUES 45 the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was DEAD SILENCE.  Ha ha ha ha!  
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, PEANUT SALESMAN was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I guess I can give a little credit to 
GLADYS BENTLEY of THE BLUES 45 for challenging up by 24 to PEANUT SALESMAN.  GLADYS 
BENTLEY won to get 49 points of recognition.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Whoa!  I'll even buy M.C. a drink tonight!  Anyone 
who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on his good side!  Titanium 
shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of 
weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in STORMCROWE to get a drink than The Shadow's 
Fountain!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you 
have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see the crowds are getting 
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
