                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well, look who's the champion of Dayla Kiv (looks around).  Why, by the knots in 
my beard, it's me, Tane the loveable but mangy dwarf.  Who remembers when I was 
Duelmaster last time?  I do, and it was turn 596.  It's been so long ago that I didn't 
forget, that's right, didn't forget, because we dwarves are like elephants, we don't 
forget....  Now then, what was I sayin'? 
     You're all bunch a rascally varmints, but I likes ya.  You're so likeable I'm 
gonna ask the commission to put a stand-in against me for my farewell fight.  I aint's 
got the heart to pound on ya anymore, but that Khalhums Dwarf, I gotta axe or a 
longsword, or as the Commission tells me a short spear is my favorite weapon, I got a 
short spear to grind with the Khalhums Dwarf.  He's callin' himself the Traveling 
Tinker in these parts and I don't like it at all.  No, not at all.  
     Alright, immortality calls.  Time to go eat ambrosia, or whatever is the 
immortals do.  I guess I'll find out.  HAR, HAR.  No, I'm not a pirate, I'm a dwarf, 
although there's little difference in the speech of either.  So long, Dayla Kiv.  

                                          -- Tane
                                             Champion of Dayla Kiv 596, 603 

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly DAYLA KIV games.  JACK MCCHOW caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested RED KOGAN and was awarded 21 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, PERRO MASON put down 
DISSIDENT, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has TANE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week 
he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if 
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 
7!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city DAYLA KIV.  DAYLA KIV, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of 
thy guilds is ARGONAUTS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  
Apparently the stalwarts of LAW DOGS are catching the bulk of jests down at the 
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after JACK 
MCCHOW.  Watch your back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears 
arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in DAYLA KIV as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I 
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till 
next we meet remember:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are 
angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

Krenshew -- Ya almost got the jump on me. Couldn't allow that.  It wouldn't have been 
good for ol' Tane.  51 criticals out of 103 attacks with the longsword, and I get the 
short spear as a favorite weapon. Who'd a thought it?  Well, who I says? -- Tane

Peldan Djian -- Honest, it was a good fight, like I said.  I have noticed blazed eyes 
and stoically accepted losses got together here like coffee and doughnuts. -- S. 
Horror

Red Kogan -- That makes four. Four fights in a row against you, and five total.  I've 
seen you more often than most of the women I've dated. -- P.  Mosaic

All -- I'm graduating, but before I leave, I have to say something about my lovely and 
talented manager, Medea, which is she wanted me to say that, to tell everyone she's 
lovely and talented.  Humans?! -- Tane

Tane -- Yeah, well, no shame in losing to an experienced Duelmaster and graduate.   
Good going. -- Krenshew

Shewish Horror -- After so long, the horror wears off. -- Peldan Djian

Parsifal Mosaic -- I tried to follow the pattern and got dizzy.  Sneaky trick of 
yours. -- Red Kogan

Hey!  Just because everyone ELSE on our team was losing didn't mean WE had to lose to 
standbys!  An oh-fer turn is kind of humiliating. --  Ardia Li and Tiogan Crow

Ed. -- I figured it was something like that.

Our congratulations to Tane. -- Jorja and the Sand Dancers
