                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Hey, I am back. And I hope to be back again. Will I? It is fun being Duelmaster. 
I get all these fans coming up and saying, "Will you shoot an apple off my head Will 
ya? Please?" And I do some of them. Arrows are pretty costly nowadays, you know? And 
the cheap Commission won't provide them free -- even for Duelmasters.
     I guess I won't be heading to the Tempe FTF this year. I think the only Famous 
Archer participants will be Green Arrow, and maybe Legolas. We all have to chip in to 
buy a brand new bright green suit for Green Arrow to wear, but I am NOT chipping in 
for Legolas if he can't win a fight first. No way! I like winners (And arrows, and 
apples, and cannons with my music.)
     So, until next time I bid you farewell.

                                          -- William Tell, DMIII

P.S. I accept challenges, but I don't really want 'em.

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon LIN TIRIAN, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing is certain in LIN TIRIAN, with 
changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--V IS FOR 
VIOLINS.  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but SAND DANCERS 
will tell you 1303-1503-42 is nothing to laugh at...  Practice pays for SKIPPIT, who 
pummelled GREEN ARROW, to pocket 15 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, 
SKIPPIT was winsome, after beating GREEN ARROW and seeing him lose 11 points.  Those 
who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by BELIAL ERNESTO, of HOWLIN 
MARTYRS, who despite a 17-8-1 couldn't overcome LIN TIRIAN's Number 1.  Word has it 
one team in LIN TIRIAN is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to 
death.  I'll bet it works.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of SAND DANCERS 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of FAMOUS ARCHERS, so did that sorry team shy from 
SAND DANCERS  
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in LIN TIRIAN is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid LIN TIRIAN farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir

Congrats again to our own William Tell -- Duelmaster! Yay! -- Arrowhead

And WOW!  4-0 for the Violins! we are avoiding. -- Arrowhead

Belial, all I can say is I am glad you are here. (wink) -- William Tell

Skippit, I am glad we didn't skip it. I had such fun. -- Susan

Ambush, I heard that lovely anguished violin play, and I was just plain enthralled. 
(And good for nothing.) Kudos. -- Legolas

Arc D'Woof, thanks friendly tussle. Green is the IN color! -- Green Arrow

HAPPY NEW YEAR! -- Arrowhead

Health. Humility. Honor. Thwack! -- Arrowhead

The Veteran Mercenary is a nice enough guy, outside the arena, anyway, but he insists 
on winning.  Men! -- Eyelene

Susan Pevensie -- You keep saying that, because you keep defeating me. Which proves it 
isn't true.  Well, I suppose I'm a "fine opponent" for YOU.  But I don't feel so all-
fired fine, you know.  Not with my record. -- Skippit

Green Arrow -- You're too SHORT, dammit. -- Arc d'Woof

Okay, I captured an orc.  Now what? -- Bill Board

Wrangle -- I knew it would come out like that. -- Fielder

Aha!  GOT one of those pesky Winter Flies.
