                             Notes from the arena champ.

      Ah, popcorn.  It's a favorite of mine, but I'm still working out how to 
eliminate the hulls.  Getting better, though.
      You will note that the Commission sees me as The Man in Dal Shang this week.  
Quite right.

                                          -- Kurr Li

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt DAL SHANG will ever be the same.  And let's see, OMICRON VELORUM fought 
SPRANG and gained 21 points and contributed to VELA's 3-2-0.  MU VELORUM has lost to 
ORANGE PEEL, falling 12 points, while helping make VELA a 3-2-0 turn.  We should ask 
TURK-Y MONSTER about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does 
for a warrior, it's now the one to ask.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard 
from unimpeachable sources that The Blazing Unicorn uses trolls in their stew.  Talk 
about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that DAL SHANG 
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 DAL SHANG and I've a long road ahead of 
me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in DAL SHANG again, farewell-- Alarond the 
Scribe
