                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Up on a long forested hill which at its peak overlooked both the Ohio River and 
on the other side a large lake alongside the road between Cannelton and Tell City, the 
quite rich Fenn family built their home. Other settlers followed suit, although with 
lesser homes, and the village and area became known as Fenn Haven.
     In later years, a mighty warrior arose from the haven and made his way to a 
fighting arena named Lin Tirian. That warrior, whose true name was Romulus Fen 
accepted the gladiator name of Fenn Haven.
     Indeed, Fenn Haven rose to the top of Lin Tirian, receiving the crown and title 
of Duelmaster. It was a dream come true for a man who followed his dream.

                                          -- Fenn Haven DMI

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to LIN TIRIAN once again!  What's with NO STICK?  He actually beat 
PERRY COUNTY's DERBY, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at PERRY COUNTY.  DERBY lost 11 points to NO STICK.  Some new strategies, 
perhaps?  Maybe DERBY will provide more easy wins...  See how the Duelmaster 
challenged HOWLIN CASE's STUNNING INLAY?  That sort of initiative is how it got where 
it is now.  Try as he might, STUNNING INLAY wasn't good enough at persuading FENN 
HAVEN to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, MY BED BANDER!  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at PERRY COUNTY ain't reelin'!  MY BED 
BANDER's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, 
STUNNING INLAY!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     Warriors of LIN TIRIAN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Kharli, you old devil, thanks for the challenge. I enjoy beating you. -- Fenn Haven

Eustace, one for you, one for me. -- Derby

I really, really, really hate Matty's Case! -- Cannelton

Perry County, land of Swiss and Germans and Englishmen and a few Italians, a melting 
pot on the mighty Ohio River. -- Smitty

see. -- Jorja

Derby -- You're welcome for the skills, but I'm more of a fedora man, myself. --

Married by Death -- A confusing and ill-omened name.  Jorja declines to look it up, 
which suits me. -- Medio Cur

Dented -- That's our fourth loss, and you seriously dented me. -- Bobwhite

Drunk Clown Hurt Me -- Would you do less hurting if you were sober? Inquiring minds 
are curious. -- March Hare

Drink Floyd -- And there we are with our fifth loss.  Ugh. -- Jonathan
