                             Notes from the arena champ.

     That was amazingly well done of you, Chatti.  I see you're leaving soon--
congratulations on that, by the way--and so you handed on the title with a win for
me.  I like that.  It's the way things should be.

                                    Evander Gill

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail VALAMANTIS!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  And let's see, ANGRY DECKHAND fought GORMODUC IRN and gained 28 points 
and contributed to DEATH MOB's 3-1-1.  CAPTAIN SCOURGE has lost to ISOMBARD KORL, 
falling 4 points, while helping make DEATH MOB a 3-1-1 turn.  Defending his title for 
another turn, EVANDER GILL kept THE BEARS' warrior, BEN, from claiming the throne.  
Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters 
do dishes at Doom's Dome until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  MIDDLE WAY 10 has lost GORMODUC IRN to the arena in the sky, but 
they don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 18-29-1?  This is the stuff 
legends are made of.  ANGRY DECKHAND has killed GORMODUC IRN, a 18-29-1 warrior of 
MIDDLE WAY 10.  I hear DEATH MOB welcomes a bloodfeud challenge.  Is it really true 
that VALAMANTIS has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd 
ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in VALAMANTIS and I've a long road ahead 
of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond 
the Scribe

I figure that Convicted Assassin was asking for it.  I feel about them, Convicted
Assassins, the same way my teammate Evander does.  He stated his position back at the
beginning of the year, I don't suppose anyone remembers it.  But for an Assassin, who
is a nasty sneaking type to begin with, to be caught and Convicted probably means
he's either stupid or unlucky or both, and who wants to reward those qualities? --
Gormoduc Irn

Fyre Sword -- Burn, baby!  You really light the place up. -- Invur Kreb

Captured Orc?  Ridiculous. -- Isombard Korl

Captain Scourge -- Oh, no, a lefty!  How sinister and fearsome! -- Elen Gorvan
P.S.  Good fight.

     If there were supposed to be more personals here, our apologies.  Hal spent a
     night on the tiles, and we're still trying to catch up with the mail.  They
     should, well, they might appear next time.
