                             Notes from the arena champ.

     The worst part about being Duelmaster is this -- having to pen a DM column. 
Sheesh!  How did Not A Chance do it all those times?
     OK, I will just proceed to tell you about me. I hit hard. I hit often. I learn 
attack and, amazingly, defense. I've got lots or ratings. Only Political Points hold 
me up from graduation. That's a wrap.

                                          -- Never, DMI

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in AMEN-TEI this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  And let's see, OOPS fought CATFOOT and 
gained 26 points and contributed to EXCLAMATION!'s 5-0-1.  BARRETT INCH has lost to 
LYN, falling 7 points, while helping make WAYFARERS a 2-3-0 turn.  Defending its 
title for another turn, NEVER kept AMEN-TEI's warrior, VIRGINAL CONCUBINE, from 
claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes 
their losing fighters do dishes at The Dripping Blade until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  S IS FOR SILENT has cause to stand tall, as 
they were AMEN-TEI's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding S IS FOR SILENT more than any other team we find EXCLAMATION!.  
AMEN-TEI, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  The manager of WAYFARERS will not be pleased to learn that CATFOOT, a 3-1-0 
fighter, has been killed at the hands of EXCLAMATION!'s OOPS.  I wish to point out 
for S IS FOR SILENT that there is but a single turn before EXCLAMATION! and their 
warrior, NEVER, will get away with killing SHHH.  A brave warrior does not carry a 
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, AMEN-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in AMEN-TEI and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--
