                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I wish I had some more arena fights. I think I'd like to graduate. Mulling around 
this place can be bad for one's health, I suspect. There are lots and lots of V 
People, and last I heard V's are related to vampires. Strange, but deadly. I don't go 
out at night. And then, there are Sand Dancers. What they did on GOT, well, I am not 
interested in a close relationship. Know what I mean? 
     I've acquired plenty of skills; heck, I even have an ad-master. I just don't know 
how much protection that is for me to get through another six or seven fights. May the 
heavens help me!
     But, I am here. On top. And I will fight. At least one more fight. What the heck, 
I may as well try to stay alive in Tampa as a maxed Champ. Maybe. They say tournaments 
are less likely places for death, but I don't know. They seem deadly places. Maybe.
     So challenge me V's and SD's. Death is a two-way street.

                                          -- Green Arrow, DMIV

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail LIN TIRIAN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  And let's see, ARC D'WOOF fought MELEE and gained 19 points and 
contributed to SAND DANCERS' 2-3-0.  MELEE has lost to ARC D'WOOF, falling 17 points, 
while helping make V IS FOR VIOLINS a 1-2-0 turn.  This turn GREEN ARROW challenged 
BILL BOARD in what was LIN TIRIAN's Title bout.  Defending his title for another 
turn, GREEN ARROW kept SAND DANCERS' warrior, BILL BOARD, from claiming the throne.  
Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters 
do dishes at The Lost Hope Inn until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the SAND DANCERS stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on LIN TIRIAN, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding 
SAND DANCERS more than any other team we find FAMOUS ARCHERS.  LIN TIRIAN, are we 
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged warrior this 
turn was SAND DANCERS' warrior BILL BOARD.  More fighters challenged him than 
challenged the Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that LIN TIRIAN has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe
