                             Notes from the arena champ.

As Ori mentioned last turn, not a lot of options/variety available in the list of up 
and coming champions in this arena.  We will be using plenty of avoids as a result.

We are going to do a shortened version of the spy report today. I'm going to use a 
model that Huard DePriest employs from time to time over in Shadowspire. Hopefully, we 
will see an uptick in attendance in the coming turns! If you haven't invited anyo

By the Numbers (Telorinthe Edition)

Fights:       9
Deaths:       0
Challenges:   3 (all by Bad Signs against Sorcerer Kings)
Dark Arena:   0

Highest Up-Challenge:  +18 -- MOM'S MAD (83-698) (13-13-0,72) of BAD SIGNS challenged 
VIVA LEXA (83-875) (13-6-0,90) of SORCERER KINGS. MOM'S MAD subdued VIVA LEXA in a 2-
minute Challenge melee.

Largest Down Challenge: None

0-2 Count is still sitting comfortably upon the throne. Below him are two teammates 
and Sacha from Sorcerer Kings. It will most likely be Sacha or a stand-in next turn 
for the Title fight. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Bad Signs and 

Sorcerer Kings were the most avoided team, but with only three teams in the arena, it 
is a toss-up as to who will get that honor. Bad Signs avoided them the most. It looks 
like Sacha was the most challenged warrior, but once again, with a small arena,

We have 28 days to invite others to our fine home. Stay cool, drink plenty of water, 
and I will see you in a month.

newsletter and make it memorable. For this one turn join in and celebrate the arena's 
1000th. C'mon dust off your old Lapurian warriors and send them to fight during the
