                             Notes from the arena champ.

Me again. Fenn Haven. I'm still worn out from that last fight. Dang that briefcase! 
But it is probably worse off -- this time. My prediction -- a case or a bed will sit 
on the throne next round. I will try to keep that from happening, but............

                                          -- Fenn Haven DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome LIN TIRIAN.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, SAND DANCERS.  But how many friends do you have now?  Some people say 
I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant.  I repeat myself.  I ramble.  Well 
HOWLIN CASE moved up 1, to 1st.  What's with SNIKSNAK?  He actually beat LIN TIRIAN's 
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight.  Major screwup 
at SAND DANCERS.  BOBWHITE lost 8 points to CARVED HEART.  Some new strategies, 
perhaps?  Maybe BOBWHITE will provide more easy wins...  See how the Duelmaster 
challenged WRATHMEN OMPB's KHARLI?  That sort of initiative is how it got where it is 
now.  Try as she might, KHARLI wasn't good enough at persuading FENN HAVEN to step 
down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to 
practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was HOWLIN CASE.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at PERRY COUNTY ain't 
reelin'!  HOWLIN CASE's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, KHARLI!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. 
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  How long have I been here?  I got people to see, 
places to go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  Are 
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
