                             Notes from the arena champ.

     That's the way it goes, eh, Kallie?  You have good days, you have bad days, and
sometimes you can't predict which it'll be.  I know that my teammate Margalh, if he
could have predicted what kind of day HE would have on the sands, would have stayed
in bed for it.

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to TRICORUS once again!  What's with THE JONAH?  He actually beat 
AMAZON ELITE's DAPHNE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at AMAZON ELITE.  DAPHNE lost 13 points to THE JONAH.  Some new strategies, 
perhaps?  Maybe DAPHNE will provide more easy wins...  Another fighter (NEALA 
11-11-1) challenged another Duelmaster (GALBEI 14-16-2).  Life goes on.  I can barely 
restrain my enthusiam for AMAZON ELITE's outstanding member, Duelmaster NEALA.  
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is 
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, DARK HORSEMEN!  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at AMAZON ELITE ain't reelin'!  DARK 
HORSEMEN's mad!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master 
many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Neala -- This was NOT what I needed on my record.  A death.  What the heck am I going
to do with a death on my record?  It's a lot more awkward than a mere kill. -- Ghost
of Margalh, not letting go

Black Clansman -- I didn't know elves belonged to groups like that.  Why, it's
practically a cult! -- Aillendei
P.S.  I was NOT eagerly seeking the death blow.  At least, not the way the reporter
implied.  I had one, you understand, we all carry one with us just in case, but I
never meant to use it.  And I dropped it.  That kind of thing vanishes into the sand
SOOO fast.  It's worse than an initiative.

What the heck?  I can't BELIEVE I lost to the Ambitious Guard!  The arenamaster
slanted the scoring in his favor, though.  In fact, the arenamaster let him jump
ahead of the "Go" signal.  It's a clear case of them ganging up to GET me.  I knew I
had enemies, but this is the pits. -- Kurbald

Warp Angel -- Okay.  I'm not going anywhere.  But how come I ended up fighting a
standby?  We didn't avoid. -- Kurbald

Black Conventicle -- I don't think the Dark Horsemen have ever, in the entire history
of the team, issued a challenge.  So we did not "send our warrior to pick on yours."
Pay attention; it was a random match. -- Nick, Dark Horsemen
