                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I didn't mean to be savage, Rook, though I *did* go out to win.  But I was maybe
a little nervous?  Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.  Good fight,
though.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, TELORINTHE?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, NONSUCH HOUSE, since BAD 
SIGNS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see KELLUMBO'S INITS. win a fight and gain 7 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, KELLUMBO'S INITS. beat PETRO SALM and PETRO SALM lost 6 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as LUMP takes the 
Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and 
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their 
fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see 
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Nomad -- We echo your plea to the Consortium.  Their absence leaves a gap. -- Jorja
and the Middle Way

Nonsuch House -- One hundred wins, and one hundred turns! -- Jorja

Okay, I suppose we can concede the dead gladiators of Telorinthe a chance to return
to life, but don't make a habit of it!

Hmm, three-two isn't so bad, considering that five-oh turns for us are often followed

by oh-five.  Or four-one by one-four, depending on which version of Petro's reading
we go with.  Anyway, three-two, not so bad.  Ah, if I'm reading it correctly myself.
