TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Zrof One-Eye glared at the Roving Demon. The standby was at the root of his
problems, having encouraged local managers to adventure or trade for a supply of fire
eels. Hot water wasn't that valuable! And the ferment had annoyed the Fire Demons of
Frikassee, home of the pesky fire eels. The Fire Demons had made protests--more like
threats--about the "invasion of their home." They were proposing to capture
gladiators and other humans for purposes they wouldn't explain--
Karolvingar, the Roving Demon, took one look at the arenamaster glare, said, "I
didn't do it!" and vanished in that truly irritating way demons had.
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. CATAPULT caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested NAVY GUY and was awarded 13 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, OLD TIME STAR put down SKYE
BLUE, causing her to lose 1 points of recognition in the process. The city has
turned out in honor of ARTIFICIAL ROCK, for with its arena victory it may now lay
claim to the highest position in the city! No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ZUKAL "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this
week's challenge seeking began. QUEEN is feared. This much I can say. Apparently
the stalwarts of ACME are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board
for their large share of the avoids.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ZUKAL. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! 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
