                             Notes from the arena champ.

     12th! Yes, my 12th. Is that a record? No other Lady Warrior has a DM Title. 
(chuckle) I guess I have sort of hogged the spot and the spotlight. But I have to say 
that both Zenobia and Colestah are far better warriors than I am. They deserve their 
chance.
     I want to go on record to state that I, and all the Lady Warriors, will fight 
men, women, women-men, or any other human or near human configuration. We don't blame 
men for wanting to turn into women, since women are the superior race. Bring 'em on!

                                          -- Boudicca DMXII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail JADE MOUNTAIN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as SAND DANCERS is pushed 
out of top team by LADY WARRIORS, who came from 3rd with a 4-0-0 this turn.  And 
let's see, ZENOBIA fought PERILOUS PIRANHA and gained 21 points and contributed to 
LADY WARRIORS' 4-0-0.  PERILOUS PIRANHA has lost to ZENOBIA, falling 18 points, while 
helping make VICIOUS FISH 2021 a 1-4-0 turn.  Defending hers title for another turn, 
BOUDICCA kept SAND DANCERS' warrior, HO CHANG, from claiming the throne.  By the way, 
was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Green 
Axe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the CRITICALS 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on JADE MOUNTAIN, what are you 
afraid of?  And guess who avoided CRITICALS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it 
was LADY WARRIORS.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that PERILOUS 
PIRANHA from VICIOUS FISH 2021 was JADE MOUNTAIN's most challenged warrior this turn. 
Tsk, tsk, tsk.  COLESTAH, does your manager know you're challenging down 20 points to 
fight THE ALLIGATOR GAR from VICIOUS FISH 2021?  We're not surprised to hear that 
COLESTAH beat THE ALLIGATOR GAR, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why LADY 
WARRIORS made such a challenge.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  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.   
     I like this place, JADE MOUNTAIN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in JADE MOUNTAIN, but never good 
to wear out my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in JADE 
MOUNTAIN again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
