                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings all! It's a pleasure for you to see me!! Isn't it!?

Anywho, Death's Army has quite a few warriors in the upper ranks. We shall see what 
comes next, but my money is on me getting the call from the Isle before Cat Lady. Who 
knows. Who knows.

Alright, I heard there's a private bath with attendants and I'm going to go find out 
about that!

Laterz!!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in KATI-TEI a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  ZELDA stable has parlayed this 
turn's 0-0-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd place.  
Good work, guys!  And let's see, JAMNOLA fought WAFFLE DUCK and gained 13 points and 
contributed to NAWLINS RU2's 1-1-0.  WAFFLE DUCK has lost to JAMNOLA, falling 9 
points, while helping make THE FULL MONTE a 0-1-0 turn.  Defending his title for 
another turn, BROKEN BRAKE LINE kept THE LOSERS' warrior, DUSTMITE, from claiming the 
throne.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that 
The Warty Toad uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  NAWLINS RU2 has cause to stand tall, as they 
were KATI-TEI's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And avoiding NAWLINS RU2 more than any other team we find DEATH'S  ARMY.  KATI-TEI, 
are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  We'd like to remind certain teams 
not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered 
rude.   
     I like this place, KATI-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in KATI-TEI, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in KATI-TEI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
