                             Notes from the arena champ.

     It appears that your concentration wavered at the last minute, Monsignor Mark.
Either that, or you were granting me a boon that resulted in *my* graduation.
Details on request.

                                    Lila Deane

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ARDIVENT brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see CLARA ROSE win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
VIOLENT ORANGE beat CORBIN ROSS and CORBIN ROSS lost 13 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, ARDIVENT may be getting bland, as LILA 
DEANE stays top dog in the city.  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, ARDIVENT?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
ARDIVENT, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  BLUVALLEY WARRIORS 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 FANDILS.  Ha ha ha ha! 
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines 
through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     What does the ARDIVENT arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll 
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

We Fandils are hoping this round to welcome the Azure Clouds to Ardivent, The ArenaOf
The Red Sands.  Glad you made it, and may your tournament have been a great success.
-- Fandil The Wise (repeating last round's persad)

Joubert -- Aw, shucks! -- Snuffy

Lila Deane -- We Fandils salute a fine Duelmaster.  You put The Monsignor in his
place! -- WOF

Marci -- You and your new socks were too much for me! -- Shelley Ann

Corbin Ross -- I guess I should be satisfied with my 3-2 record against you, but the
"2" happens to be the last two and that both HURTS and bothers me.  I need more
swirvin' practice.  Badly, apparently. -- Irvin

Well, somebody had to win for us Fandils! -- Clara Rose

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  The Red Sands await. -- Fandil The Wise

We salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley Warriors

Swirvin' Irvin -- I noticed.  The "superior race" part... I don't want to get into
that tarbaby of a debate, but the importance of meals, which have to be JUST RIGHT,
yeah, I noticed that. -- Corbin Ross

Snuffy -- You still aren't paying attention!  I'm demonstrating good skills here. --
Joubert Klee

Shelley Ann -- Ah, not your day, I see.  Well, we all have off days.  Just so long as
they aren't premature death days. -- Marci Foote

The Veteran Mercenary (a bit of a half-pint, and wimpy with it) is getting too old
for this, I think. -- Long Biggar

Irvin -- That was perfectly good, FRESH, HAND-DEBONED fish.  How dare you turn up
your nose at it? -- Corbin Ross
