                             Notes from the arena champ.

Like a bad penny, I'm back! Haha Well, the Arenamaster decided to match me up with a 
noob, last turn. Not a total noob, mind you, but compared to some of the warriors in 
the Challenger Champions, he was a noob. Not sure what Deep Six was trying to do with 
his strategy, but I wasn't impressed. His manager was likely to busy conspiring on 
making his well known down challenges, to pay attention to his warrior in a title 
fight. That dude is pretty weird and pathetic anyway, so who knows.

On to other topics, I think I'll challenge Frayed Knot this turn. We haven't fought 
since T-365 so a rematch might be interesting, in a slow motion kind of way. Haha

                                          Til then, I remain your . . . . . 
                                          Duelmaster Narsil, Orc Extraordinaire!

P.S. -- Stop laughing, no I mean it. I am your Duelmaster! So little respect around 
here LOL

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt SHADOWSPIRE will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as OHS ALUMNI is pushed out of top team by PEN ISLAND SKEETERS, who came 
from 9th with a 4-1-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there 
are sorrows to drown for WICKED MARTYRS, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 
13th.  PEN ISLAND SKEETERS stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 8 space move 
up the rankings.  This brings them up to 1st place.  Good work, guys!  On their very 
first turn, HEROES & VILLAINS had a 4-1-0, and with this kind of luck or skill, 
should do well.  Welcome to SHADOWSPIRE.  And let's see, STEINAR fought BUCKS INA TUX 
and gained 26 points and contributed to CULT OF BACCHUS' 3-2-0.  BUCKS INA TUX has 
lost to STEINAR, falling 22 points, while helping make BIG LAKE SOLUTION a 2-3-0 
turn.  We should ask LARRY BIRD about the thrill of victory, and what being the new 
Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Otto's Diner uses trolls in their stew.  
Talk about gristle!   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the KILL 'EM 
ALL stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on SHADOWSPIRE, what are you 
afraid of?  And avoiding KILL 'EM ALL more than any other team we find MIRKWOOD ORCS. 
SHADOWSPIRE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports 
fans, take notice that MR. JENKINS from OHS ALUMNI was SHADOWSPIRE's most challenged 
warrior this turn.  FRAYED KNOT of KILL 'EM ALL had better have a good reason for 
challenging down 14 points in a challenge which he won.  I thought FRAYED KNOT showed 
great skill and promise when he won victory over THE LIMPER.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  WICKED MARTYRS has lost STORMCALLER 
to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 
9-12-0?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide 
when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in SHADOWSPIRE, but never good to wear out my welcome. 
Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
