                             Notes from the arena champ.

Although I am not listed as duelmaster, having graduated, I feel that I should say one 
more word, or maybe a few more, from the top, as no one ELSE will.  And I say to you 
all, "Bye!"  I haven't gotten the word yet on my Lord Protector gifts, but whatever it 
is, I'll try to turn it to good account.

                                          -- Kurr Li

                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in DAL SHANG since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Biff!  Pow!  DAL SHANG 
watched with glee as THE MOTHERSHIP CE got knocked off top spot by VELA!  It seems so 
recently people were saying VELA was washed up, finished.  But 3-1-0 moved them up 1. 
I guess they're washed no more...  What's with KAPPA VELORUM?  He actually beat THAT 
SMELL's ORANGE PEEL, and walked away with 30 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at THAT SMELL.  ORANGE PEEL lost 21 points to KAPPA VELORUM.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe ORANGE PEEL will provide more easy wins...  See how the 
Duelmaster challenged THAT SMELL's POPCORN?  That sort of initiative is how he got 
where he is now.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THAT SMELL's outstanding 
member, Duelmaster POPCORN.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice 
on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being the most challenged warrior, MU VELORUM!  Don't make idle boasts, they may 
come back to haunt you.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  PRIME killed MU VELORUM, and expects revenge from 
VELA.  The dead are better off dead--they have no worries.  Here's some advice:  
study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
