TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Timmy Tango crept through the stacked lumber. He needed to find out what had
happened to his teammate Eugene, and check on the probable elf he had come to meet,
while avoiding the assassins himself. He wished he knew what the meeting was to have
been about, but the summons had been vague: to discuss issues of mutual interest to
the denizens of the Red Forest. Timmy wasn't sure what a "denizen" was or whether he
wanted to be one, but he knew there was trouble in the forest north of Lin Tirian and
wanted an end to it. The Forest was a good place to live, and if he survived the
arena, never a sure thing, he wanted to go back.
He knew there had been trouble between elves and orcs, but he was sure the orcs
hadn't started it, and the elves claimed they hadn't either. Maybe someone had found
the source of the trouble. He wasn't sure that mattered. Elves and orcs would always
see each other as adversaries. Pointing blame would not fix that. Finding causes for
alliance might. So he had to find out what was happening here.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Whatever, J W Booth, I'm not going to the theater when you're in town. No way. And
I'm sorry I taught you those skills.

SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out LIN TIRIAN to
see what's new. Like, FURY'S EDGE had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off
#1 spot by SAND DANCERS! Way to go SAND DANCERS! One team deserves special mention
'cause they moved up 2 after going 4-1-0. Keep it up, L5R PHOENIX CLAN! MVP award
for ISAWA XI'AN? L5R PHOENIX CLAN's proud of him after beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and
getting 21 points. Talk about yer major upsets! L H OSWALD's match with TIMMY TANGO
cost him a loss of 7 points! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's
habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome CLINT. Aren't BAD BLOOD II proud. (Oh, my.) Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? SAND DANCERS was the most avoided
team. Is a 1390-1618-46 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are
FAMOUS ARCHERS? SAND DANCERS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them
to accept an invitation! Can FURY'S EDGE's BLADES be more popular than me? He was
challenged the most, but is that really the same? HAWKEYE must not be a good enough
fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged ISAWA TADAKA. 13 is a big difference.
(Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought HAWKEYE showed great skill and promise
when he was subdued by ISAWA TADAKA. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Tinker Samuel, you make a fine Duelmaster. Salute. -- Arrowhead and The Famous Archers

Cyric -- I can't say I cared much for Eugene, but it's a satisfaction to conclude the
bloodfeud anyway. Us orcs are into that feuding stuff. -- Avril Hound

Justine
Sirhan -- I don't like you. Well, you're an elf, and that's enough right there. --
Timmy Tango
Thieves! Pshaw! -- Eustace
Skaoli -- Now I can't find Jorja's picture for your name. Nothing but smokeless
tobacco. Probably just as well. -- Eustace
