                             Notes from the arena champ.

Yes! I am Duelmistress again! As expected. Sneely gave it a try, but I danced the 
best. I cannot believe how much my side-gig helps me in the arena. Keeps me lithe, and 
intriguing, and quick. These are my favorite songs to practice for both jobs:

     Hot In Here -- Nelly
     I'm A Slave 4 You -- Britney Spears
     Pour Some Sugar On Me -- Def Leppard
     Cherry Pie -- Warrant
     Whole Lotta Money -- Nicki Minaj

Gotta use everything you know. Gotta practice. Gotta dance. Gotta win the smack downs. 
Gotta be boss -- and Duelmistress!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly TOBIR games.  SONG OF EVIL caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested SNORRY and was awarded 15 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SILENT MAJORITY put down 
ALL GUNS BLAZING, causing him to lose 3 points of recognition in the process.  Not 
for nothing has STRIP TEASE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and 
this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again.  Informants "close" to the city 
champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  
Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In TOBIR "art" is a word that has long 
since passed from the language!  TOBIR, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names 
of thy guilds is THE DOGHOUSE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding THE DOGHOUSE.  Indeed it was ANYTHING GOES.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a 
stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await me!  
Till next we meet remember:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise 
are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
