                             Notes from the arena champ.

Moving on to the Isle of the Eye. Took me long enough. I am Otis' fifth basher to 
graduate and third from this arena. I do not know if I will get any play after I leave 
here. Would suit me just fine to hang out at the beach and never fight again.

                                          -- Hays

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in CLIFFHOME this turn, and let's 
start with a look at some of the teams.  The EAGLES CLAW guild has had a 3-1-0 turn 
and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing 
can lead.  And let's see, EAGLES SB CHAMPS fought WEIRD AL and gained 18 points and 
contributed to EAGLES CLAW's 3-1-0.  GACY has lost to MOTHMAN, falling 11 points, 
while helping make LUNATIC RANCH a 1-4-0 turn.  And not without some honor, MC 
GANGSTA now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of CLIFFHOME.  Can someone 
confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at 
The Choking Ogre until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  EAGLES CLAW has cause to stand 
tall, as they were CLIFFHOME's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And guess who avoided EAGLES CLAW stable the most?  Believe it or not, 
it was THE WATCHMEN.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
LUNATIC RANCH's warrior AESIRA.  More fighters challenged it than challenged the 
Duelmaster!   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  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, CLIFFHOME, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in CLIFFHOME, but never good to 
wear out my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in 
CLIFFHOME again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
