                             Notes from the arena champ.

I couldn't let an old bone be duelmaster.  And Arenamaster Harkon applauded for me.

                                          -- Hunter

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ARADI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, UNNAMEABLES, since RED DOG 
GANG took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the taverns 
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for UNNAMEABLES, whose 0-2-0 this 
turn dropped them by 4 into 5th.  Ha!  RED DOG GANG turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 
1st place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on 
hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see GUNG HO MOE win a fight 
and gain 17 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, GUNG HO MOE beat P 04 and P 04 lost 10 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost 
to KUNG-FU MASTER, and HUNTER has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  With HUNTER 
clearing the throne, RED DOG GANG of SPUD takes a proud seat as ARADI's new 
Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and 
bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
