                             Notes from the arena champ.

Once more Rocanis must endure my insulting presence upon the throne. I cannot help but 
think that others have sullied this throne before me, and it falls to me to clean up 
their mess.  

What a motley bunch of pretenders we have at the top of our ranks! None can even drag 
themselves into the Challenger Champions in order to make a legitimate challenge for 
the throne. Maybe The Commission will see fit to allow one of you sluggards to battle 
me for the top spot. It would be better than sparring with one of their NPCs.

Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Venomous Cur, your Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
ROCANIS.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We 
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  BARDIC FLAPPERY now holds 
the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  A stormcloud is brewing over the 
WHATEVER guildhouse.  Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the 
team to the Dark Arena.  Hey everybody, watch out for FLAP-DRAGON, who flew up 16 
points in the rankings after mashing JUNIPER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  JUNIPER was bested 
by FLAP-DRAGON and drops 13 points.  Well, everybody's pal VENOMOUS CUR moved his 
record to 10-3-0 by defeating MARLBORO MAN in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 
8 recognition points.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps 
T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ROCANIS arena.  Did you 
hear that ALLIANCE was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of ALLIANCE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch CHRISTMAS CURSES' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from ALLIANCE.  And who is this ROO you ask, with 42 points and a 3-3-0 
record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  There's got to be more reason for the 
sending of ZIPPER to the Dark Arena than his record (6-4-2).  Anybody got any ideas 
RESCUE RANGERS?  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the 
arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ROCANIS have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la 
bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
