                             Notes from the arena champ.

The Mercenary refused to be duelmaster.  Said it wasn't in his job description, and he 
couldn't write a column anyway.

                                        -- Ursulina Trell, headed for a winning record

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail SNOWBOUND!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as MIDDLE WAY 6 is pushed 
out of top team by GOT BLOOD?, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  And let's 
see, GRANNY NINJA fought PERSISTENT BEGGAR and gained 15 points and contributed to 
BOOK OF THOMAS' 2-1-0.  RED VIPER has lost to HAILEY ICEWIND, falling 9 points, while 
helping make GOT BLOOD? a 4-1-0 turn.  And not without some honor, FROZEN GHOST now 
claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of SNOWBOUND.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their 
stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that SNOWBOUND has more dishwashers per capita 
that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in SNOWBOUND, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in SNOWBOUND again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
