                             Notes from the arena champ.

We can't have the Chardinee on the hot seat.  So I got the job, not that I wanted it.

                                          -- Avril Hound

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Hey everybody, watch out for NO STICK, who flew 
up 19 points in the rankings after mashing BOBWHITE like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was BOBWHITE, who dropped 11 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with NO STICK.  Well, 
everybody's pal AVRIL HOUND moved his record to 23-29-0 by defeating GATCHEL in the 
Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 14 recognition points.  4 out of 5 gladiators 
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid SAND DANCERS, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does LIN TIRIAN really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, 
try this one:  SAND DANCERS + Weapons That go Boom = PERRY COUNTY + Avoid City.  Well 
just about everybody wants a piece of ISAWA TADAKA, who was this week's most 
challenged warrior.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, BRISTOW went after 
ISAWA TADAKA, who was higher by 20 points.  Well, when the dust settled, BRISTOW lost 
to ISAWA TADAKA.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Congrats to JUSTINE for revenging the death of hers 
teammate (but more importantly, feeding GUSLAV THORFIN a bit of dirt).  Here's some 
advice:  warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the 
Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in LIN TIRIAN have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
