     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to LIN TIRIAN once again!  What's with VEILED POISON?  She actually 
beat SAND DANCERS' MASKED MARAUDER, and walked away with 21 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at SAND DANCERS.  MASKED MARAUDER lost 15 points to VEILED 
POISON.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe MASKED MARAUDER will provide more easy 
wins...  Try as he might, VETERAN MERCENARY wasn't good enough at persuading ANN 
NASTY to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 
will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, DEATH PENALTY!  The 
bums at THE INSTITUTE couldn't face the challenges from DEATH PENALTY!  No excuse for 
that!  What do people see in THE WEEPER?  His 5-10-0?  SAND DANCERS ain't talkin', 
but he's got 25 points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of 
fights that MUSGRAVE gets in.  She fights people like BARON BLADE, 8 points below.  I 
thought MUSGRAVE showed great skill and promise when she defeated BARON BLADE.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Hmm...  More surprises must remain in store for me, if 
HOLLOWPOINT can return from the Dark Arena.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a 
hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  LIN 
TIRIAN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Only six fights total today.  A sad thing, if you care about the arena.  *I* don't, I
just want to get OUT of the system, which requires graduation.  Oh, well.  Two-three
for us, but the Marauder defeated his standby this time.  It was the Dwarf, and he's
not such a sucker for a beard as he is for feminine wiles.  Not that I mind him being
a sucker for feminine wiles, we women need men like that around, just in case, you
know? -- Ann Nasty

And we salute the tourney participants, with a special (moderate) cheer for Musgrave,
tourney victor. -- the Sand Dancers
