                             Notes from the arena champ.

In this case, 4th time's a charm!

It took some time and attention by my manager, but in the end, I made it to the top!

Or maybe the problem was that I am trying to fight during the season and not 
highlighting that dreadful time known as the off season.  Well, off season is coming 
all too soon.

                                          - Off Season

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SNOWBOUND.  Like, OPEN SESAME had to be so 
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by DARQUE THEORY!  Way to go DARQUE 
THEORY!  I just can't say enough good things about MAIN CHARACTER.  They went 5-0-1 
their first time, don't slouch, and they've got good oral hygiene!  MVP award for 
LADY TODA?  MAIN CHARACTER's proud of her after beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and getting 
21 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  FERMATA's match with JANICE KOLE cost her a 
loss of 2 points!  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think OFF 
SEASON should let VIOLA WING be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  
Who was the wiseguy that said SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The 
Victory Tavern?  Don't look at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All SNOWBOUND ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  D'ya think TRILL is feeling guilty for killing GRUS' ALNAIR, 
a mere boy?  Naah, I doubt it.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd 
be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Mr. Noodle -- You want me to go up in rank?  Seems like I can't do it. Throw me some 
fights. -- Helga Iceland, equally frustrated

Word on the Street -- The word on the street is that the Commission, or maybe the Grey 
Witch, has decided to put our town INSIDE a glacier.  I want out!  This is unsafe 
beyond the normal bounds of gladiation.  This is unsafe!  A glacier, frozen or not, is 
a river.  It flows and changes shape in response to uncontrollable landscape factors.  
I WANT OUT! -- Janice Kole

Fermata -- At least that wasn't a fight of unreasonable length, like Janice's.  No 
telling what the ice might do during a long fight. -- Viola Wing, missing the old 
guildhouse on the headland, sure it was windy, but it wasn't being crunched by ice

Mr. Noodle -- You're no help at all. -- Helga Iceland, more concerned with arena 
advancement than being crushed by ice

Ostinato -- Ostentatious?  Obstinate?  Unstinting? -- Perry Reese
