     Hail ARADI!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for 
13TH CIRCLE, whose 0-5-0 this turn dropped them by 7 into 12th.  And let's see, 
PRINCE LAYOUN fought PULPIT and gained 20 points and contributed to NEON ROYALTY's 
2-2-0.  QUIJ has lost to SHEEPY THOMPSON, falling 15 points, while helping make 
GYGAXIANS a 2-2-0 turn.  This week's Duelmaster bout was between WEEZY DANG and our 
Duelmaster DM-HUH?, making a challenge.  And all eyes were on WEEZY DANG this turn as 
he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  ARADI has a new victor!  Tell me, is 
nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Victory Tavern uses 
trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the NEON ROYALTY stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on ARADI, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding NEON 
ROYALTY more than any other team we find GYGAXIANS.  ARADI, are we going to accept, 
or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that WEEZY DANG from 
THE BUNKHOUSE was ARADI's most challenged warrior this turn.  Well now, what do you 
expect when someone like TIGERIA from TEMERE NOMEN challenges down 21 points to fight 
BADGER of RED DOG GANG?  I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking 
for easy wins.  TIGERIA beat BADGER, is nothing sacred?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that ARADI has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in ARADI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
