                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well!  This is embarrassing, that I should lose to the Kung-Fu Master in the
first place, and retain the title even so in the second, there being no one better
qualified to hold it.  Listen you Fear Factory and Autumn Saga types, get up here and
make the post of Dulemaster mean something!

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
JURINE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see FLAME SPIDER win a fight and gain 25 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
FLAME SPIDER beat FALL PRINCESS and FALL PRINCESS lost 22 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as HEADING SOUTH takes the Title 
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  I'm not in a very good 
mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, 
JURINE?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
JURINE, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  MIDDLE WAY 16 the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like FEAR FACTORY 
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.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines 
through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     What does the JURINE 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

Flame Spider -- Ah!  So the fire extinguisher DOES work, I wondered whether it would.
-- Cham Dugan

Cloud Stalker -- I suppose I should be glad I'm not a cloud.  I wouldn't want you
stalking me. -- Vonner Wess
P.S.  Er, that wouldn't be like the Peanuts guy Pigpen's cloud that stalked him,
would it?

Venom Lord -- Venom... isn't that a little hamlet south of Veastian just about on the
border with Convincia?  You're a long way from home, if so.  How can you be sure your
tenants aren't getting up to tricky business in your absence? -- Barlo Chells
