                             Notes from the arena champ.

Telorinthe Toughies -- Word has it that Hammer has finally sent the proper papers in 
for a replacement  to bring our roster count back up to the five required for running 
an active stable in Telorinthe Arena, according to the Arena 83 Gladiatorial 
Commission requirements for this non-tourney arena!

Chances are that when Hammer finally activates our new member, I will have gotten my 
call to the Isle, unless I find a way to get myself killed, before I become Immortal 
and leave here!

I should get called to the Isle after fighting this Turn in Telorinthe Arena!

Thanks to All who have made this possible!

     -- Your Female Duelmaster by Name of Royal Rage Hammer, 
          because I am Mistress to No One!

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  TELORINTHE needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, WETWORKS, 
but AAAARRGH HAMMERZ was just too good to be stopped.  Cut this out and put it in 
your scrapbooks, FIGHT SONG!  'Cause they got 3-1-0 and moved up to 4th!  MVP award 
for JESTER?  WETWORKS' proud of him after beating ELDON BLACK and getting 15 points.  
Talk about yer big time losers!  ELDON BLACK got smashed by JESTER, and lost 12 
points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  ROYAL RAGE HAMMER stopped NOCTURNAL 
RITES dead in his tracks!  I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine 
hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  The warriors of CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS must be getting lonely.  They 
were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  I don't know 
what FIGHT SONG's been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from 
CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS, that's fer sher.  Can AAAARRGH HAMMERZ's OUTLANDER HAMMER be 
more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  FIGHT SONG figured it was better to let 
HAMMER KRINKER kill SCOTT THE BRAVE unpunished, and not worry about getting nailed 
again!  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Its been 
really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

"Life is a hammer."  Has a nice ring to it.

Savant -- A memorial, as it turn out.  Dance Little Sister!  She's walking in the air 
now. -- Skald

Eldon Black -- We're on the same side!... when the moon is full... -- Thriller

2-12 -- What does Hammer see in her, his valentine?

Royal Rage -- Make like a tree, and leave! -- Skald

Telorinthe Toughies -- Royal Rage Hammer is correct in noting that I have indeed 
submitted the proper papers for a new warrior replacement for my stable here in 
Telorinthe Arena! I will review the confirmation paper that the Telorinthe Arena 
Gladiatorial Commission always sends with a new warrior, before activating him here on 
the Telorinthe arena sands! -- Hammer, mgr Aaaarrgh Hammerz

Savant -- Political Points (unless I am using the wrong term, since it has been so 
long since I have been an active arena manager) is what helps determine whether or not 
a warrior gets the call to the Isle of the Eye! In addition to the requirements of 
having 17 Wins (at least I think it is 17 Wins, but it may be 14 Wins, now that I 
think about it:  Yes I Think It Is 14 Wins), plus both an Advanced Expert and an 
Expert Rating in Skills:  to graduate, a warrior must also have 17 Political Points!  
Warriors achieve 2 Political Points for each Turn they are ranked in the Challenger 
Champions and they are granted 5 Political Points for each Turn they are ranked as the 
reigning Duelmaster!  Royal Rage Hammer has 15 Political Points for being the reigning 
Duelmaster the past 3 Turns, so unless she either gets Killed or Knocked back into the 
Champions Rankings, she should receive the Call to the Isle after fighting this Turn!
