                             Notes from the arena champ.

Isn't it about time YOU graduated, Boudicca?  Must be some kind of bias at work here.

                                          -- Ho Chang

P.S.  Wall of steel, 10-11-14-11-13-10-15 SC, low/low.  Born to scum.

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  LADY WARRIORS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep 
it.  Hey everybody, watch out for FEROCIOUS FOREARM, who flew up 18 points in the 
rankings after mashing YTERBIUM like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was GUIDO, who dropped 12 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with LOTUS BLOSSOM.  COLESTAH got through to 
the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt she was more than anxious to kick HO CHANG's tail 
out of the throne!  It's a proud day for the LADY WARRIORS stable, as their warrior, 
COLESTAH, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 
gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad SAND DANCERS?  Big bad SAND DANCERS.  Big bad SAND DANCERS.  JADE MOUNTAIN's 
afraid of the big bad SAND DANCERS.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause LADY WARRIORS beats feet every time SAND DANCERS 
smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, 
FAST EDDIE would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.  
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the JADE MOUNTAIN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is 
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy 
Report.  Good luck in next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends 
and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

A salute to Duelmaster Ho Chang! Good luck, Lord Protector. -- Ms. Fu and all the Lady 
Warriors

Ho Chang, I really think you read the script wrong. It wasn't supposed to end like 
that, was it? -- Boudicca

Oh, my! The Alligator Gar, I didn't mean THAT. Mr. Hammer, I apologize. To an old 
friend of The Consortium The Alligator Gar, R.I.P. -- Zenobia

Perilous Piranha, I was just too much, I think, -- Colestah

Colestah and Zenobia have been quite the performers in tournaments. For Colestah 7-3-1 
Apprentices and 6-3 Adepts. For Zenobia 9-3 Adepts T.V. I am proud of them. -- Ms. Fu

Ladies of the world unite. We are the superior race. -- Ms. Fu

Guido -- I'm guessing that the apostrophe in your team name is meant to be a plural 
and not a possessive.  What kind of pie are we looking at here? -- Lotus Blossom

Brutal Barracuda -- Not in our river!  Too shallow and too cold. -- Snowdrift, who can 
be brutal in season if the weather cooperates

Puffer Fish Peril -- Having me fall on you can counter a lot of menace. -- Falling 
Mountain

L.A. -- I've seen it, and I know some people like it, but I'm not one of 'em. -- 
Another One, aka Stretch
