                             Notes from the arena champ.

I warned you all. Stay away! Cancer is not so good for your health. Indeed. But Kuhris 
just had to try. The note came down from above the Bloke, the very top of The 
Consortium conglomerate, "NO INFECTIONS for old friends, no matter the circumstance.' 
Of course I complied. So Kuhris limped away to fight another day. This "gift" may not 
be bestowed again, hence, I advise listening to the Bloke when he says AVOID Me! 

                                          -- Cancer, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

Welcome back Lapurians, it's a frightful time of year. No new invitee to honor this 
week, so that leaves our horror story of a Duelmaster. Cancer is the main attraction 
on the marquee, will he become a 3-time champ and continue his undefeated reign of 
terror? Can anyone step up and surgically remove him from the throne? Time will tell, 
so let's find out.

Let's see, eleven teams in the ranks with one inactive and Doc Miracle and his black 
samurai returning, welcome back. From those tams we have 19 fights on the lists, 2 by 
torch light, 3 challenge fights, and the remaining 14 being random commission 
matchups. As for the fights at night the Wherewolves sacrificed two more pigs. The 
fight for the throne came down to a challenge fight by WAGON DRIVER 3 of BLACK KELTS 
against undefeated and 2-time champ CANCER of AVOID ME! Purple Sage's wagoner warrior 
was easily defeated by the Bloke's deadly warrior in 1 minute. All hail 3-time 
champion CANCER!

In team news, Visionist and his MID EARTH squad stayed atop the ranks after a 3-2-0 
result. Jumping from 5th to 2nd is Purple Sage and his BLACK KELTS, who also managed a 
3-2-0 showing. Rounding out the top 3 and dropping one spot is Master Beru and his 
ARMY OF DARKNESS after a 2-2-0 record. Now for the Team on the Move, this week's award 
goes to BLUE HERRINGS, who collectively gained 24 points. And the Most Avoided Team 
goes to... obviously... the Bloke and his AVOID ME! malcontents, who received 8 avoids 
while multiple teams received 4 avoids.

Only two remaining challenge fights...

DROP THE SOAP of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged UPCHUCK of AVOID ME!, with Vlad's clumsy 
warrior viciously subduing the Bloke's regurgitating warrior in a popular 3 minute 
contest.

END OF BIDET of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged WHITE FANG of WHEREWOLVES, with Vlad's 
mysterious warrior being demolished by the Wherewolves' scary warrior in a 1 minute 
competition.

As for my "Fight of the Week," it goes to apprentices HOUN DOG of CARDOW HUNTERS and 
BIG BAD of WHEREWOLVES, who entertained the masses for 3 minutes, with Jorja's mongrel 
warrior eventually defeating Wherewolves large and mean warrior in a bloody bout. Well 
done to you both!

In Individual Achievements...
This week's Biggest winner is Vlad's DROP THE SOAP who gained 21 points after his win.
Wile this week Biggest loser is the Bloke's SKUNK, who lost 9 points after his loss.
This Week's Favorite goes to the warrior beating SKUNK, BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE 
HERRINGS.
Nicely done.

Well no new invites again, so the only thing left to say is to enjoy your tricks and 
treats, 'Til next time.
