                             Notes from the arena champ.

Ahhhh.....  Well that was gratifying.  Turns out the angle of the wrangle was more 
important than the motion of notion.  One cannot lightly go around tuning my fellow 
Violinists unchecked.  You would hope the lesson would be learned but I know archers 
are a thick lot. Best to ensure the lesson took! 

With an incredible full moon in the air tonight, I am reminded once again of the 
sunset.  The sunset of my time in Lin Tirian, of my efforts as a gladiator, and of the 
Violinists in this fine city. We'll be using the coming weeks to tidy up, as it were, 
and eventually throwing a house-emptying party to celebrate not only the battles and 
bottles past, but the opportunity for another team to, perhaps, take our place.

All the best as you battle for respect, honor, wages or therapeutic purposes.  Or 
perhaps some combination thereof!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in LIN TIRIAN since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  V IS FOR VIOLINS showed 
LIN TIRIAN what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 
3-0-0.  What's with MELEE?  It actually beat BAD BLOOD II's CLINT, and walked away 
with 7 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at LIN TIRIAN while they watched 
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL clobber JUSTINE.  She lost 7 points and got bruised from objects 
thrown from the stands.  Try as he might, LEGOLAS wasn't good enough at persuading 
WRANGLE to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 
will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was FAMOUS ARCHERS.  The bums at V IS FOR VIOLINS couldn't face the 
challenges from FAMOUS ARCHERS!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in LEGOLAS?  
His 12-10-0?  FAMOUS ARCHERS ain't talkin', but he's got 101 points.   
     Warriors of LIN TIRIAN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  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.  Remember--a 
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Our congratulations to Wrangle. -- the Sand Dancers

Ygritte -- I didn't care for your special move. -- Tinker Samuel

These Fratsfans are pathetic. -- Justine

It gratified me to mash up the Dishonest Justice.  What is the world coming to that 
his crime should be celebrated? -- Timmy Tango

The cult member had an edge in my chagrin at being called a dwarf.  I'm nearly six 
feet tall, which is not dwarfish, and, okay, I needed a shave, but get real! -- Eugene

I did for the cult member that got away from my teammate.  Good job. -- Avril Hound
