                             Notes from the arena champ.

To come back after a lengthy retirement straight into the duelmaster position stuns 
me.  I really wasn't ready for this, and I expect to be displaced shortly.  I'll have 
to think about whether I'm glad to be back.  But I salute you all.

                                          -- Newton Pyne

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
ROCANIS.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  A 
stormcloud is brewing over the THEM guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like this 
ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
QUICKEN, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing MAGE'S APPRENTICE like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out 
on the sands.  LIMS KRIGMA was overcame by XYIM and drops 9 points.  In front of all 
the crowds, NEWT took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid KNIGHTS OF NI, please raise you hand. 
Wow.  Does ROCANIS really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, 
unsling your rasberries, cause CREDIT beats feet every time KNIGHTS OF NI smiles at 
them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this HOUSTON FARMER you ask, with 61 points and a 
8-36-1 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya next time I'm on this 
circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
