                             Notes from the arena champ.

Those shots to the elbow do hurt a lot, don't they, Mr Smith?

                                          -- Justine Klas

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  A stormcloud is brewing over the DEATHRATTLE 
guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-5-0 may send the team to the 
Dark Arena.  Advancing in the rankings was MIDDLE WAY 16 who went from last turn's 
605-626-12, to this week's record of 609-627-12.  Hey everybody, watch out for BUBBA 
KHAN, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing NW ORDER like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  HANNIBAL INDIANA was defeated by KUNG-FU MASTER and drops 22 points.  Going 
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was DEATHRATTLE's MR 
SMITH, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by JUSTINE KLAS.  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 DEATHRATTLE, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does JURINE really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch HEARD ON CHATZY's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from DEATHRATTLE.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of NOT OLGA, who 
was this week's most challenged warrior.  Challenging down 24 points was SERGEANT 4.  
Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.:  The only way to clean up' 
pins.  Here is a definition of happiness:  NOT OLGA won victory over SERGEANT 4 to go 
from 5 to 29 recognition points.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  ALCOHOLIC UNCLE defied all odds and slew 
WURM KIN in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as WURM 
KIN's meat is notoriously tough.  For those of you who missed it, Death showed up, 
grabbed STOIC by the ear and took it away to a place where it won't need a coat.  
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.  And remember, you can pick your 
friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The

All -- Sheesh.  Lay off. -- Deathrattle and our bruises

Justine -- Impressive sweep of the Marquis.  Enjoy your reign. -- Mr Smith

We salute the tourney participants. -- the Middle Way

And we have no idea what happened to last turn's personals.  Sorry about that.  They 
seem to have fallen into a black hole. -- the Middle Way

I took a dagger and shaved the Khalhums Dwarf close.  He didn't like it. -- Hannibal 
Indiana

Stoic -- I like fighting you, because you never take it personally. -- Zeus Bertram

Sergeant 10 -- No, I won't go out with you.  Because I'm Not Olga.

That's embarrassing, to lose to the Mordant Deserter. -- Geroge Inch, who should 
probably be an orc, Geroge being an orcish name
