                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, that is it for my reign, at least until after the summer.  At 30 FE, I will
represent Assur's bashers in the Champion class.  I am his best current chance (in
the champs), but he also says I'm a lousy basher and will be lucky to come out of the
tourney with a winning record.  Regardless, that means the throne is up for grabs.  I
can only hope that Sourdough reaches this lofty spot soon and carries on Assur's
tradition of the finest bashers to grace the sands of Alastari.

I do know that my time on the sands is quite limited.  For no matter what happens
this summer, I will only get the opportunity to graduate and then it is off to
retirement, though if I'm successful in graduating, I hear that I get some land to
retire to.  There are certainly worse ways to spend the rest of my life.

If you need me, just call, "Hey!  Kool Aid!"

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DRAGONHEAD this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for 
there are sorrows to drown for DEADLY RAGE, whose 1-1-0 this turn dropped them by 5 
into 10th.  THE KINDRED stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 7 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  Good work, guys!  The MILCHAMAH 
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, MADKAWRAW'S LAW fought MINDQUAKE 
and gained 19 points and contributed to MILCHAMAH's 3-1-0.  MINDQUAKE has lost to 
MADKAWRAW'S LAW, falling 16 points, while helping make TWISTED SISTERS a 3-2-0 turn.  
Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, KOOL AID has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  We should ask MAKKEH KILLER about the thrill of victory, and what being 
the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask.  By the way, was 
that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Warty Toad? 
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  THE KINDRED has cause to stand tall, as they were 
DRAGONHEAD's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And 
avoiding THE KINDRED more than any other team we find MEAT YOUR MAKER.  DRAGONHEAD, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior 
this turn was TWISTED SISTERS' warrior GIGGLY JANE.  More fighters challenged her 
than challenged the Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, IRON BITCH from TWISTED SISTERS 
challenged up 21 points to fight MAKKEH KILLER from the MILCHAMAH stable.  IRON BITCH 
perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she lost to MAKKEH KILLER and ended up with 
61 recognition points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  The Warty Toad declares a free round for GIGGLY JANE and all of TWISTED 
SISTERS, for having revenged MEAT YOUR MAKER's DON CORNBEEFLEON for killing one of 
their comrades.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in DRAGONHEAD and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
