                             Notes from the arena champ.

Poppy, get out of my seat!  Up here talking about fields and flowers when you should 
be focused punchin' some dudes (or ladies, respectfully) in the face with a trashcan 
lid or whatever your style uses.

I still need some more of them, uh, uh, uh political points.  Yeah, political points!  
I'm not sure what they are, but Darque says I need more of them.  Whatever the boss 
says, I gotta do, so if you have any of them points, hand them over now!  Until such a 
time as I get what I need, I'm going to try to stay on this throne.

Now to get all the pollen out of here!  I was going to challenge Bum or Baum, but 
Sixshot says he wants a shot.  I don't know if that was supposed to be some clever 
play on words or something, but I have got to go and do Duelmaster stuff.  Not sure 
what that is, but I figure kicking sand in people's eyes, stabbing them before they 
stab me, and collecting a big fat gold pouch from the boss is in the equation.

See you next turn, chumps!

                                          -- Frenzy

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in NORTH FORK a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets 
poor.  So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  Now keep the taverns open 
late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for THE PURGE 209, whose 1-3-0 this turn 
dropped them by 5 into 10th.  QUACK PACK stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-1 into a 
7 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 11th place.  Good work, guys!  
The TEAM HAS NO NAME guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the 
future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, DANCING 
QUEEN fought BURN and gained 26 points and contributed to ROYAL FLUSH's 3-2-0.  ACE 
REPORTER has lost to TRY ONE, falling 14 points, while helping make ROYAL FLUSH a 
3-2-0 turn.  Defending his title for another turn, FRENZY kept FAST FOOD's warrior, 
WENDY, from claiming the throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last 
night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  LAND OF OZ has cause to stand tall, as 
they were NORTH FORK's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding LAND OF OZ more than any other team we find DARQUE FORCES.  NORTH 
FORK, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged 
warrior this turn was ABERRANT 5 BLADES' warrior FACE FIERY TRIALS.  More fighters 
challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!  Tsk, tsk, tsk.  VERTIGO, does your 
manager know you're challenging down 22 points to fight CRATERUS from WHITE MAIMERS?  
I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins.  VERTIGO 
defeated CRATERUS, is nothing sacred?  In a brave attempt, READ THE ROOM from 
DOWNWARD SPIRAL challenged up 23 points to fight FACE FIERY TRIALS from the ABERRANT 
5 BLADES stable.  READ THE ROOM perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was 
overcame by FACE FIERY TRIALS and ended up with 29 recognition points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  WHITE WOLVES has sent LUCIUS to the Dark 
Arena.  The deed is done.  Lift the ale, and toast the memory.  Congratulations go 
out to ROYAL FLUSH, with BIG TEN revenging a bloodfeud against THE SINFUL NATURE of 
ABERRANT 5 BLADES.  Kudos go out to ZING this turn, for revenging LAZY BOYZ's 
bloodfeud against WHITE WOLVES' warrior QUINTUS.  Well done.  We'd like to remind 
certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's 
considered rude.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in NORTH FORK 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
