                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, here I am again.  Survive one more fight and I should get my invitation.
Thanks for the complements, 5 Golden Warriors.  You will probably reign here again
soon.  My manager says I'm probably unusual for today's warriors because of arena
sizes.  I learned most of my fighting back in Simtakka's highly competitive days.
The competition then were VERY experienced and you got a chance to learn a great
deal.  Anymore, there aren't warriors with that level of experience to train against
because, with smaller arenas, they get their invites much sooner.  Should I survive
until my invite, Woody will detail my own training experience.  As usual, neither I
nor anyone on Mighty Ducks will avoid.  Let the battles rage. -- Duckman

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DAL SHANG this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as SAND DANCERS is pushed out of top team by POSSE, who came from 2nd 
with a 3-2-0 this turn.  The MIGHTY DUCKS guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to 
be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And 
let's see, KO LAO-DEN fought JOHNNY SIN and gained 25 points and contributed to SAND 
DANCERS' 2-3-1.  JERI TAVAN has lost to VIRGINIA, NO SANTA, falling 15 points, while 
helping make SAND DANCERS a 2-3-1 turn.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have 
failed, and DUCKMAN remains DAL SHANG's top warrior for another turn.  By the way, 
was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Blazing 
Unicorn?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  POSSE has cause to stand tall, as 
they were DAL SHANG's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding POSSE more than any other team we find GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS.  DAL 
SHANG, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, 
take notice that TEBAS TEN KOGAN from SAND DANCERS was DAL SHANG's most challenged 
warrior this turn.  ARMOREDILLO of WILD KINGDOM had better have a good reason for 
challenging down 11 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought ARMOREDILLO showed 
great skill and promise when he subdued KASSAL TEN DRU.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  MIGHTY DUCKS made what looks to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent 
ABOMINAL SNOWMAN, with a record of 5-8-0, to ABOMINAL SNOWMAN death.  Farewell, his.  
Whatever bright future JOHNNY SIN may have had, it's all history now.  The manager of 
POSSE has lost a promising 6-1-0 warrior.  Congratulations go out to GOT IT FOR 
CHRISTMAS, with 5 GOLDEN WARRIORS revenging a bloodfeud against TEBAS TEN KOGAN of 
SAND DANCERS.  Kudos go out to $1.25 Q-STAFF this turn, for revenging MIGHTY DUCKS' 
bloodfeud against MARY'S SOAPS' warrior B.B. SAGE.  Well done.  Is it really true 
that DAL SHANG has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd 
ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in DAL SHANG again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

All -- For those who are interested, here are the details on $1.25 Q-Staff:
17(+1=18)-6-14-17-9-4-17, great damage, normal endurance.  Favs were:  low-low,
defensive action, long spear, decisiveness tactic.  Blessed/Hosed(Terrablood):  0 in
Att, Def, Init; -3 in Dec, 0 to -3 in parry (yet to be determined), -1 to -4 in
riposte (yet to be determined).  38FE with 67 skills learned (grand total of 1 in
parry!), base of 37-42(?).  Presently he's 23 Att, 21 Init, 22 Def, 18 Dec, and
unknown in Par/Rip.   He was an experiment (13 years ago) to determine if strikers
really needed speed.  Well, once he learned enough att/def, the answer was no.  It
didn't really matter how I ran him, he pretty much was either better than his
opponent or not.  I ran him fast, slow; in plate, naked; with halberds, epees, and
unarmed; modified, unmodified, double-modified; it made for some interesting fights,
but rarely affected the outcome much.  It was fun to have a warrior that was well-
suited to every weapon(or combo) in the game, but I don't know if I'll run him in
ADM. -- Woody

Ko-Lao-Den -- Was I supposed to bring weapons and armor?  (Chuckle)  Sorry, I had to
show off at least once before graduating. -- $1.25 Q-Staff

Got it for Christmas -- How much coffee do you guys drink, anyway?  I thought I was
fast, but I guess I'll have to avoid blinking in the future. -- Dark Wing

All -- It is with regret that Mighty Ducks announce the retirement of Abominal
Snowman.  He has worked hard and trained hard, but he has developed as much as he can
and doesn't have much of a future in the arena.  Most of the Mighty Ducks either
learn fast or die with honor.  It is unfortunate when one must be retired through the
dark arena.

B. B. Sage -- $1.25 Q-Staff will bloodfeud this turn.  He'll be trying all his
favorites, which are kind of mismatched, simultaneously.  You fought well against
Masked Avenger.  If fortune smiles upon you, you may gain substantial recognition
this turn. -- Woody

$1.25 Q-Staff -- Congratulations, Lord Protector.  As the sole survivor of the second
generation of Mighty Ducks, you preserve their honor and take it with you to
immortality. -- Woody and the Mighty Ducks

Virginia, No Santa -- I've been thinking about that, and if you can GUARANTEE no
Santa, AND no pre-holiday selling frenzy (worse than a killing frenzy, that is), then
maybe it's a good thing, eh? -- Jeri Tavan

Ghost of Red Ryder -- Sorry about that.  It was unintentional. -- Tebas ten Kogan
P.S.  But if you hadn't kept trying to PARRY, things would have been fine.  I
might've cut your arm off, but that's better than you deflecting my blade into all
kinds of more vital territories, namely, head and chest.

Abominal Snowman -- Oh, I dunno, I don't think it was all that abominal.  Mostly, it
was fun.  Cold, maybe a bit damp after a while, but fun. -- Kassal ten Dru
P.S.  Okay, after it started to melt and got all sloppy and yucky dirty, THEN it was
abominal.

$1.25 Q-Staff -- It is with great pleasure that I note the arrival of your
graduation.  I salute you, I offer a free drink at the Burning Unicorn, and otherwise
I want you to know that I'm VERY GLAD to see you rising so high.  Try not to kill me
on your way out the door. -- Ko Lao-Den
P.S.  Were you supposed to be unarmed?

That was...strange.  Polwhis the Candle offered to "burn out the Kansarians" for me.
They tell me he's a professional arsonist in his spare time. -- Jaego Sarl
P.S.  But if I find out who told him the Kansarians are out to get me, and vice
versa, I will Take Steps.

Virginia, No Santa -- I'd feel better about being the object of your love if we were,
uh, differently gendered from each other. -- Tebas ten Kogan

Two Front Teeth -- Oh, I dunno, if the arena had several of every style EXCEPT
bashers and you came along as a replacement, you might find yourself thrust into that
role even on OUR team. -- Jaego Sarl

Duckman -- Yep, you're mighty. -- Dakoril
P.S.  Shouldn't you have flown south for the winter?  Down to Miroi t'Chi-Chang, or
maybe Aryai, at least.

Amoredillo -- I tell you this, and it's all the warning you're going to get, I will
HAUNT your bathtub.  You will never bathe in peace again. -- Ghost of Ragolas

Deadwood -- Damned lively, if you ask me. -- Gobarl
P.S.  And really, really rude.

I always wanted to kill that tinker.  He sold me a badly patched kettle, and it
leaked fish soup all over everything.  I don't have to put up with that, do I?  Bad
enough to lose my lunch, but it made the deck slippery. -- Sigban

Ghost of Red Ryder -- I guess you won't be making any more cracks about "shooting
down my teammates," will you? -- Gobarl

Masked Avenger and $1.25 Q-Staff -- This is true.  But what we need even more is more
MANAGERS. -- Dakoril

Tebas Ten Kogan -- Sure your name isn't Bad Bart? -- Ghost of Red Ryder

Tebas Ten Kogan -- I still love you!  You did me a favor, eliminating Red Ryder:  17-
10-6-10-19-15-7, skills estimated at 11/8/11/4/7/14.  And you give me a Bloodfeud and
likely 4 easy wins for 5 Golden Warriors, the one I really care about! --
Assurnasirbanipal

Jeri Tavan -- Well fought. -- Virginia in mourning

Lord Protector $1.25 Q-Staff -- First, let me congratulate you for having lasted this
long.  Second, let me assure you that you will always be welcome here in Dal Shang,
provided you don't commit any crimes, of course.  And third, I must tell you that by
order of the Lord Governor, we are not giving away land to gladiators who go away to
the Isle and never return.  Absentee-landlordism leads to terrible abuses of
property, and we have found, on the whole, that gladiators tend to be the most absent
of landlords.  Please accept, instead, this fine sword made specially for you and
engraved with the symbols of luck and fortitude. -- Tolmas ten Samrein,
Undersecretary to Lord Governor Segan tel Jehsian
P.S.  If, however, you are prepared to remain in Lirith Kai, we can and will offer
you lands on the border of your choice.  This would be, regardless of location, a
property that required someone with strength, skill, and considerable fortitude to
defend it from the hordes of howling barbarians which are, alas, much too common on
borders.

Just a reminder to all you online type people.  It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text.  HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff.  So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S.  Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray.  Not often, but
sometimes.
