                             Notes from the arena champ.

I may have said it all last round. I merely want to graduate to The Isle. I wouldn't 
mind getting another kill on the way, but my blade edge seems to be blunting as of 
late. We women need to make every impact we can on the world, which doesn't really 
seem to want to recognize us. One more dead male might help. So come and get me, Guys.

                                          -- Colestah, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir 
to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Practice pays 
for PERILOUS PIRANHA, who pummelled BOUDICCA, to pocket 25 points.  BOUDICCA 
certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to PERILOUS PIRANHA and 
losing 5 points in the process!  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were 
disappointed by SNOWDRIFT, of SAND DANCERS, who despite a 10-7-0 couldn't overcome 
JADE MOUNTAIN's Number 1.  Word has it one team in JADE MOUNTAIN is taking speech 
lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are JADE MOUNTAIN's warriors?  Come, let us see.  To quell some 
nasty rumors, the guys in CRITICALS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need 
to avoid 'em.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of LADY WARRIORS, so 
did that sorry team shy from CRITICALS If challenges were horses, DEATHLY PIRARUCU 
could open up a fast food joint!  Call 'im brash!  Call 'im brassy!  Call 'im brave!  
Call 'im sassy!  CONTAGION will face LOTUS BLOSSOM, up by 28.  Aaaah, just call 'im 
dead meat.  Fixed fights?  Paybacks?  Blind luck?  Whatever, CONTAGION TV challenged 
LOTUS BLOSSOM, CONTAGION the underdog by 28 points.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not a spymaster 
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious 
stupor.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for JADE MOUNTAIN?  On that giddy note 
I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

A saklute again to Lady Warrior Colestah, one fine Duelmistress. -- Ms. Fu

P. Pirahna, your teeth may be sharp, but you have to learn how to bite! -- Colestah

Lady Scorn, we seem to have the same outlook on life. I would be pleased to tussle 
with you anytime. -- Boudicca

ladies Of the World, unite. Come with me. We have much to show. I know the way. -- Ms. 
Fu

Lotus Blossom -- That was hurtful.  I timed a devilishly cunning attack leaping with 
deadly force and what do you do!  Blossom parries the attack out of sheer boredom and 
appears to take a quick nap. -- Guido

Snow drift -- My coach tells me that if I parry your scimitar with my face I will dull 
your blade. One fighter to another. Did I dull your blade? -- Kitten

Brutal Barbecues... Err I mean Barracuda. (Got love spell check). You know that's just 
too funny.  I'm not going to add anything. -- Nunzio

Poverty of speech -- So what did you think about my Coach having me Block your blade 
with my face.  Did it seem effective? -- Fast Eddie

Jang-Ko Blackhand. -- Its amazing how sending you My ex- Mother in law to the DA Can 
make you feel so good . Thanks Brother beers are on me. -- Coach Joseki

Guido -- I did NOT try to bury you in the sand.  We don't have deep sand in this 
arena; we'd have to import it from the lowlands at a RUINOUS expense. -- Lotus Blossom

I fell on Captain Mondinor.  He didn't like it. -- Falling Mountain

Kitten -- You're supposed to dig out of the snow.  Change your train. -- Snowdrift

Deathly Pirarucu -- I feel there may be some hidden meaning behind your manager's 
evident bias against fish. -- Another On

Country Labors -- Jorja still hasn't found an explanation for "wittle" that satisfies 
her.  That leaves all of us here up in the air. -- Ho Chia
