                             Notes from the arena champ.

You're not supposed to PARRY with your hip, Dislocated Hip.  Or with your face; I once 
knew a guy who did that.  His face was a mess.  *I* did not call you "child."  That 
was the arena steward.  They've got nerve to burn in the words they put in our mouths.

                                          -- Tonio Salagaza

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Practice pays for SOKAR, who pummelled THE 
HONEST MERCHANT, to pocket 19 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, M. 
CHARDINEE was winsome, after beating SER VON DARKMOOR and seeing him lose 14 points.  
The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as SHACKLED PRIEST faced FRATSFA's 
Duelmaster.  In FRATSFA, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a 
new Duelmaster, SHACKLED PRIEST.  Word has it one team in FRATSFA is taking speech 
lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Perhaps the warriors of INCARNATIONS should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of 
INCARNATIONS found their efforts at combat frustrated as IRON CATHEDRAL apparently 
had more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, 
and LORD DAVOS is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't SILVER KNIGHTS 
proud!  SISTER STEEL challenged BA'AL!  Who says IRON CATHEDRAL are just a bunch of 
wimps!  SISTER STEEL of IRON CATHEDRAL kept hers wits as she lost to BA'AL.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in FRATSFA would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid FRATSFA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
