                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Hi, my name is Queen Artemis.  My brother, Channel Master, who runs NFL Network, told 
you about himself last turn.  Now it is my turn.  I have 2 brothers and 5 pets.  I 
love to read, play, eat, and sleep.  I run House of Fur.  I love to get my turns!

See you in the forest!

                                          -- Queen Artemis

***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------***

                                   "That Behemoth"

                         His plot was only self and treachery
                               She now did plainly see.

                             For after Waling in the Air
                                Did beat him by a hair

                       Behemoth enrag'd, flew in flame of fire,
                        And too, too rashly ball'd eternal Faer

                                        Twice!

                         Her own distress with patience bore
                    But for Bronzen, he groan'd and grieved sore.

                    "Into deep ditches, his dead corps I'll cast!
                  In a deep cave, his soul I'll fetter to the last!"

                Now since at Telorinthe bold Bronzen has done his best
                 Let's see what come of him, that giant brazen pest.

                  Much brave blood was spilt, they fought so fierce.
        Their cries arose and weapons flew in pieces, to knuckles unrehearsed.

                     As like before always a rogue he did strive
                The Behemoth did work all mischief he could contrive.

                         Our Arenamaster did stay their wrath
                   Even as Bronzen spat:  "ANOTHER DAY, BEHEMOTH!"

                                      SPY REPORT

     Woo!  Woo!  It is time for Telorinthe arena and I cannot find anyone as excited, 
or really as excitable, as I am about it!  Welcome back to the slow no tourney arena.  
Do not let the name fool you though!  We may be slow, meaning we only have fights 
every 28 days, but that does not mean the action is!  In fact, we had a very exciting 
turn and I cannot wait to tell you about it!

     We knew we were getting a new Duelmaster this turn because Nike has received his 
graduation notice.  He got a farewell fight this turn, but there really wasn't anyone 
high enough to challenge him from the active teams.  So, he fought an arena stand-in 
and goes off to the Isle of the Eye, where the Lord Protectors, continue their 
training the Advanced Duel arenas.  Jester was the highest rated warrior at the end of 
the turn, so he slips into the Duelmaster's throne.  He did not receive an invite to 
the Isle, so he will have a chance to defend it next turn.  Warriors ranked as 
Challenger Adepts can challenge Jester next turn for the throne.  Well, Eclipse is the 
only warrior eligible to challenge our Duelmaster next turn because Jester is only 
ranked as a Champion by recognition, and Eclipse is in range being in the Challenger 
Adepts.

     The most avoided team for the turn is Conjure the Sun, and they were most avoided 
by NFL Network.  The most challenged warrior is Six Flag from Scorpio Likes.  I cannot 
imagine that being a popularity contest anyone wants to win.  Puar of Kame House got 
the call from the Commission to fight Six Flags.  He may have wished he didn't after 
it ended.  Six Flags took care of Puar quickly in a 1-minute, one-sided fight.

     Apart from a single Dark Arena death, there were 2 other deaths for turn 149.  
The Userous Merchant met his end while facing Behemoth. The other happened when 
Vicious Venom bloodfeuded Archive of Scorpio Likes.  Archive had killed VV's teammate, 
Lord Voldemort, on turn 147. It looks like we will continue the cycle of blood next 
turn if Scorpio and his crew decide to go after Vicious Venom.  Few deaths, but there 
were many bloodfeuds this turn!  Most of them were successful!  Sorry to Sky, who 
couldn't beat Maniac Mauler this turn.

     Sorcerer Kings have been having great success in the arena.  They started off 
their career 10-0-2, which is impressive!  The luck was not so great this turn, as 
they go 1-4.  It appears that House of Fur decided to step into the perfect turn going 
5-0.  Wetworks also had an amazing turn with a 4-1-2 turn.  We mentioned Behemoth's 
kill, but what I have forgotten in my excitement was to mention Nike killed Virginal 
Gigolo in his last fight!

     The Arenamaster is telling me that I need to wrap it up!  I have so much more to 
say, but it will have to wait until later.  I have included a listing of the arena 
ranking system in at the end of this spy report.  Perhaps it will be helpful to those 
who are new to the game or just an easy reference for the coming turns when we will 
most likely have Duelmasters that are not ranked above 91 points.  I will see you guys 
and gals next time!  I can't wait!
