                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Never, Never, Never! Never would I have thought or expected to be Duelmaster. 
Never! Yet, now I have two. Amazing! And, I just might be headed to The Mailer as an 
immortal Champion. Really! I should get my invite next turn (this one as you read 
this) and that makes (if I win) my 30th fight, my 19th win, and my 21st political 
point. Never!
     How can one named "never" be so sure of himself? Hmmm. I am so sure, that I will 
now reveal all I know of me:

     15-6-10-17-9-10-17 Basher; +3 Parry, +1 Attack. 
     Poor Endurance, Great Damage (a bonus!).
     Masters in Attack, and Experts in all but Riposte. 
     Favorite weapon I think might be the quarterstaff.

     Look out for me! I may go a mere opher in The Mailer, but I will be one happy 
Lord Protector. Never!

                                          -- Never, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, AMEN-TEI?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see CLOUD SHADOW win a fight and gain 14 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, VETERAN 
MERCENARY beat JERK and JERK lost 8 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, AMEN-TEI may be getting bland, as NEVER stays top dog 
in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some 
of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
WAYFARERS, 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 who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was EXCLAMATION!.  Ha ha ha ha!   
     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.  Consider SHHH gone, and S IS FOR SILENT 
unfeeling, letting the bloodfeud for hers death go unrevenged.  Honor is like a 
chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless 
rebuke me on this one.   
     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

Yes! Two for Never! Last turn I thought the 4-1-0 was nice; this turn the 5-0-1 was 
nicer. Yeah! -- Loudmouth

But I am sorry to see Catfoot go. Gee! -- Loudmouth

Wow! my name is oops and I fight my first fight out of the box and I kill somebody? I 
am happy, excited, and doggone sad! -- Oops (All I can say is "oops".)

Pickles and Onions, you are my mainstay. Who needs hot dogs or hamburgers when I have 
you? -- Pshaw

M. Chardinee, Noble Assassin, and Virginal Concubine, thanks. -- Jerk, Aargh, and 
Never
P.S. But I, Never had the most fun with The Concubine.

I one cannot exclaim loudly, then why exclaim at all? -- Loudmouth

A cult member?  It is to laugh.  I blew him down. -- Light Breeze
P.S.  Easily.

Lyn -- Consider that I'm sighing heavily.  Every time I see that the commission calls 
me a golem, I'm confounded. -- Barrett Inch, Convincian

That merchant honestly lost.  Works for me. -- Poor Stranger

Pshaw -- At least I picked up a couple of skills.  And didn't die. -- Pickles and 
Onions

Oops -- No kidding. -- ghost of Catfoot
