                             Notes from the arena champ.

     William Tell here. Duelmaster in this sad time of recession, viral fear, and 
shortages. I wish there were something a DM could do. 
     Please note that our manager, Arrowhead, a fine, caring fellow, has opened a Go 
Fund (read about it in the personal ads) to help the needy. We Famous Archer warriors 
support his philanthropy. You should too.
     I fought a fine warrior in the Venomous Concubine. (And, yes, it is true that 
fight is not all we did.) She was a worthy opponent, and I was pleased to draw a 
warrior of top-shelf level as the other courses of action were mere bottom-feeder 
sorts like the "V Is for Violin" offerings. True to sorts, I am again Duelmaster.
     I wish you all well in this difficult time. May you all stay safe and flourish.

                                          -- William Tell, DMX

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in LIN TIRIAN this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  LINK has lost to CLINT, falling 9 points, 
while helping make FAMOUS ARCHERS a 1-2-0 turn.  Defending his title for another 
turn, WILLIAM TELL kept V IS FOR VIOLINS' warrior, MELEE, from claiming the throne.  
Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Lost 
Hope Inn uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the HOWLIN CASE stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on LIN TIRIAN, what are you afraid of?  
And avoiding HOWLIN CASE more than any other team we find FAMOUS ARCHERS.  LIN 
TIRIAN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, 
take notice that RUMPUS from V IS FOR VIOLINS was LIN TIRIAN's most challenged 
warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, LEGOLAS from FAMOUS ARCHERS challenged up 18 
points to fight RUMPUS from the V IS FOR VIOLINS stable.  LEGOLAS perhaps got his 
just desserts, seeing as he was put to death by RUMPUS and ended up with 89 
recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  I guess it was coming sooner or later, FAMOUS ARCHERS has lost 
LEGOLAS, and LIN TIRIAN is bound to miss him.  For a little while, at least.  We'd 
like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who 
you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in LIN TIRIAN again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

Wrangle, where were you? I waited and waited. Are you scared? Tsk. Tsk. -- William 
Tell

All, the Famous Archers are starting a Go Fund. To help the poor hapless Violins, we 
have placed a wagon at the front entry to their guildhouse. Please collect and place

manage,r are quite, quite needy of same. Thank you all for your support. -- Arrowhead, 
Mgr. Famous Archers

Health. Humility. Honor. Thwack! -- Arrowhead

Ygritte -- If I was a fine opponent, why did I lose? -- Tinker Samuel

Good.  Losing to the Osksi Noble would be horribly embarrassing. -- Justine

The orc had the courtesy to lose.  I think he's a kinsman of mine. -- Avril Hound
