                             Notes from the arena champ.

I realize that I am writing this for an audience of exactly two, but when there's a 
Duelmaster in the house, Neon always insists we pen something.

I am afraid that I have chased Sand Dancers from our fair arena by killing Helen. She 
would have made a good pummeling dummy, but didn't have the fortitude to stick around.  
Looks like it will be me and Cossack next turn. He has more wins, but I have more 
kills. We'll see how it pans out. (Most likely, the winner will be whoever swings 
first.)

Until next time, Dayla Kiv. May the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Onyx Centurion, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in DAYLA KIV!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Too bad, THE FUNKENSTEINS, but 
NEON TREASURES was just too good to be stopped.  MVP award for CORWIN?  PRINCES IN 
AMBER's proud of him after beating SHAMELESS BEGGAR and getting 25 points.  Talk 
about yer big time losers!  MINAS TRENT got smashed by SAPPHIRE MONK, and lost 9 
points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all DAYLA KIV.  
He got the most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Like, COSSACK must be pretty 
gutsy!  He challenged the Duelmaster from NEON TREASURES.  Does this guy have a death 
wish or what!  Was that a tear I saw in COSSACK's eye, as he took over 
Duelmastership?  And wasn't ONYX CENTURION fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really 
being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All DAYLA KIV ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
