                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings all!

First a word to my dear Belinda: Somehow you don't share the feelings I have for you, 
which I definitely can't understand! True, I am not the wittiest and by far, but isn't 
my body simply fascinating? You will rarely see a closer incarnation of physical 
perfection. And that stamina... Gods, isn't it a blessing in itself?

Fortunately, I will have another shot to stay under the main spotlight so you can take 
another good look!

And to all beneath me in the rankings, that is everyone in Chimlevtal as I speak: I 
hope to stay here for a long time now that those cursed ABs have left the arena for 
good!

                               -- The one and only DA ZAGAGNA (please spell correctly)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, CHIMLEVTAL?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, BASH BROS OCEAN, since JUST 
DESSERTS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the 
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for STIKE FORCE, whose 
0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 10th.  Ha!  JUST DESSERTS turned their 4-1-0 
turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you 
get put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see KELP win a 
fight and gain 21 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, KELP beat SOLAMANCER and SOLAMANCER 
lost 17 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend 
the throne, DA ZAGAGNA has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm 
earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as HAOMARU takes the Title and 
last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Mourngrym Inn and 
Tavern, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  
From CHIMLEVTAL's trash dumps?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  JUST DESSERTS was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like BASH 
BROS OCEAN avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you 
ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, HAOMARU was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I suspect either a 21 will 
or a 21 ego on this one, but ABBA-ZABA has challenged up by 31 in an attempt against 
HAOMARU.  And, oof!  ABBA-ZABA saw stars around his helmet, after losing the fight, 
and disappointing the crowds, I might add.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in CHIMLEVTAL to get a drink than The Mourngrym 
Inn and Tavern!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't 
be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- 
Snide Clemens

Ern, I knocked the T off of you? Bwahahaha. -- Rope

Wacky Wafer, thanks for the challenge and easy win. I am beginning to like you. -- 
Tire Iron (kicking WWs tires)

Belinda! You had visitors? What's wrong with those people? -- Smithy

O Rejects -- So...that was quite a beatdown. 0-2 and 1 dead which was a challenge from 
your side. Not great. If you are thinking of coming at B.C.P. with little Kyra you'd 
better know he is coming out HOT and has 2 kills already which is 20% of my squad's 
total kills ever! We've been around a mighty long time... -- D. Noble

Emu -- You will be excited to hear that our Tiramisu is now an all-new recipe -- 
topped off with battle axe!! -- D. Noble

Odds on next week's duelmaster contest (provided Da Zagagna is involved): Over 6.5 
minutes -135/Under 6.5 minutes +120

Belinda -- I'm wondering how often our squad is the "most avoided" on the turns we are 
scheduled to fight? It seems like a lot... -- D. Noble
