                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Standbys, more standbys, and after that, standbys.  Why is this arena still
operating, when it must be doing so at a net loss?

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DAYLA KIV, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for POLE CAT, who pummelled SAM 
GOODY, to pocket 21 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and 
practice more, after losing 18 points to POLE CAT.  (Discrete enough, SAM GOODY?) In 
DAYLA KIV, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new 
Duelmaster, RAGING PYROTHAG.  Word has it one team in DAYLA KIV is using psychics to 
predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are DAYLA KIV's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Is it charming 
personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, SAM 
GOODY is the most challenged warrior.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in DAYLA KIV is the highlight of my life.  As the 
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to 
leave this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DAYLA 
KIV farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
