                             Notes from the arena champ.

You won't have to avoid me, Boudicca.  One more appearance here will be my last.

                                          -- Lotus Blossom

P.S.  PR:  intelligent, quick and active, slightly uncoordinated, good endurance, 12-
12(+1)-8-15-19-5-14 LO low/high, lunges to good effect, learns attack

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for ANOTHER ONE, who pummelled DARLA, to pocket 25 
points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after 
losing 22 points to ANOTHER ONE.  (Discrete enough, DARLA?) The Duelmaster is dead.  
Long live the next one.  TEA@TEMPE20.3 is ecstatic as FLOWER POWER becomes top dog.  
Word has it one team in JADE MOUNTAIN is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a 
charmed life!   
     So much to report, so little time!  Perhaps the warriors of PI KAPPA PI'S should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of LADY WARRIORS, so did that sorry team shy from PI 
KAPPA PI'S Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and INSPIRE & EXPIRE is it right 
now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't THE LAST WITTLE proud!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Hey LADY WARRIORS!  
Is there some deep dark, unmentionable secret as to why JOAN D'ARC has been sent to 
the Dark Arena?   5-1-0 isn't so shabby!  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match 
itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
