                             Notes from the arena champ.

Every once in awhile, I just need to pick up a mace or a maul. Usually, just picking 
them up and swinging them in the air is enough. But sometimes, I need a bit more.  So 
far, I've been able to satisfy the urging in the backyard with inanimate objects.  But 
lately, more and more, I want to hit something that is alive.  I've told my therapist 
this and he says I need to get it out through talking, so here I am on the throne, 
spilling my guts as the Duelmaster.  Hopefully you all have the help you need to 
control any of your own urges that are inappropriate.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, ILLIS?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for CHAPEL ROCK, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 
4 into 6th.  Ha!  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SHOO-CHA win a fight 
and gain 8 points, terribly.  And if variety is the spice of life, ILLIS may be 
getting bland, as NEED A FIX stays top dog in the city.  The Welcome Wench, humph!  
I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From ILLIS' 
trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  BOOK OF THOMAS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you 
were this turn's most avoided team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And 
it looks like BASHAHOLICS ANON avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would 
be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the ILLIS arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Paste 
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide 
Clemens
