                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Me again. Make that two for me. It was Dixie Bubbles who accommodated me. (Boy, 
did she accommodate me! -wink-) Something about her I couldn't resist.
     Ladonna, Dolly, Leatherbound ... The Challenger Champions are toughening up, and 
looking quite formidable. Who will it be? Bring 'em on. (Especially one of the gals!)

                                             -- Bristow, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  HOWLIN CASE, in a display of the humbleness and generosity for which 
they are known throughout LIN TIRIAN, missed the turn to give up Top Spot!  SAND 
DANCERS had cause to celebrate, after EUSTACE got 22 points by beating DERBY.  A 
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 29 
points to EUSTACE.  (Discrete enough, DERBY?) Duelmaster BRISTOW from PERRY COUNTY is 
going for the gold, as it challenged HOWLIN CASE's LEATHERBOUND.  Ooh, the 
excitement!  In LIN TIRIAN, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find 
ourselves a new Duelmaster, LEATHERBOUND.  Word has it one team in LIN TIRIAN is 
using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     So much to report, so little time!  Perhaps the warriors of GIRLS X3 should take 
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of GIRLS X3 found 
their efforts at combat frustrated as PERRY COUNTY apparently had more important 
things to do than fight.  If challenges were horses, LEATHERBOUND could open up a 
fast food joint!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure 
of writing Spyreports for LIN TIRIAN?  On that giddy note I take my leave--

Tainted Shujenga, enjoy your time in Perry County! I guess we are all just infatuated 
with your name. -- Smitty

Tainted, I was the sunshine of your smile. -- Derby

Stunning Inlay, wow! I just don't have it, apparently. I wanted to be the stunner, but 
rather, you inlayed me. Salute. -- Cannelton

Dixie Bubbles, I just love watching you bounce around, gal! I also like how you make 
sure I end up on top. -- Bristow

Ladonna Lynch, I finally woke you up, but, then I decided to go to sleep. Phbbbttttt! 
-- Fenn Haven

Troy, soon to be on the sands of Lin Tirian. -- Smitty

Perry County, land of furniture factories, sewer pipe operations, cotton mills, and 
coal mines and Tell City Pretzels. -- Smitty

Dolly Parton -- I thought you'd be taller.  Skills would have been good. -- Eustace
P.S.  At least I survived.

No Stick -- You duck low and hit me in the neck?  I'm not that much shorter than you 
are. -- March Hare

Kayke -- That hardly seems like a name. -- Bobwhite
P.A.  Brazilian football?  That seems like a reach, but if it works for you, why not?

Drunk Clown Hurt Me -- I'm no clown, nor was I drunk, but I meant to hurt you, and I 
did.  Only win so far on our team.  Thanks. -- Jonathan

Burying in the sand is what I deserved for losing to the improbable "Mordant 
Deserter."  His race is listed as Arveda, highly improbable. -- Cap Pickering
