                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Count me in! My third Duelmaster Title, and my last. I think I have done well for 
Aruak City, defending the throne with aplomb and honor. I will miss this fine city, 
but a new world as Lord Protector Bullish calls.  
     I leave you, pre-fave-disclosure as a 15-7(+1)-11-21-17-4(+1)-11 Basher with 
normal endurance, great damage, and unusual -4 Init and +4 parry. I learned well, and 
truly appreciate the quarterstaff in my hands.  
     I wish my teammate, No Bull, great luck, hoping he ascends in my absence. Be the 
man!  

                                          -- Bullish DMIII

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARUAK CITY, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Those betting on LORD OF THE WINGS lost their 
shirt, as LORD OF THE WINGS lost their fighting abilities:  0-1-0.  What's a move up 
by 5 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to 
THE BLUES.  Practice pays for HAL MOIR, who pummelled HUSKY, to pocket 20 points.  
Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, BROWN BUG was winsome, after beating ZOGAR 
and seeing him lose 12 points.  Duelmaster BULLISH from BULLDOGS is going for the 
gold, as he Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's DEVELLAN JARA.  Ooh, the excitement!  
The crowds were amazed this turn, as DEVELLAN JARA killed the Duelmaster, BULLISH, 
leaving BULLDOGS in mourning.  Even 90 points weren't good enough to save BULLISH 
from HAL MOIR.  ARUAK CITY welcomes HAL MOIR as the new Duelmaster!  So who's the 
team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR 
stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of NAMED 03, alone and unchallenged.  As a woman 
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ANIMAL FARM, so did that sorry team shy 
from NAMED 03 Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral 
hygiene?  Whatever it is, PATROCLUS is the most challenged warrior.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARUAK CITY is the highlight of my life.  More 
important duties call me.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports 
for ARUAK CITY?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
