                             Notes from the arena champ.

Reporter: "Incredible fight tonight! You jumped out and defeated a more experienced, 
highly recognized opponent. How are you feeling right now?"

Quarterback: "Man, it feels amazing. We put in so much work this week, and to see it 
all come together like that--it's unreal. I'm just proud of the team behind me."

Reporter: "That last attack--you moved as fast as lightning. What was going through 
your head?"

Quarterback: "Honestly, I saw my opponent frantic, and just trusted my instincts. 
Coach always tells me to keep my eyes on my foe, but when I saw that opening, I just 
took it. And, hey, I like that term. I think I'll call that my 'angry lightning' 
move."

Reporter: "You finished with six hits tonight while taking none. What do you credit 
for tonight's performance?"

Quarterback: "Definitely the stable's weapons master. That spear he gave me was 
incredibly sharp and well balanced. It was like dancing a deadly ballet out there. 
This was a full team win."

Reporter: "You are now 10-10. What's the mindset going into the final stretch of your 
Basic arena fighting?"

Quarterback: "Stay hungry. I've got goals--I'm not satisfied yet. One fight at a time, 
and I'll get there."

Reporter: "Congrats again! Go celebrate with your team."

Quarterback: "Thanks! We earned this one. And, may the gods guide your blows straight 
and true!"

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MALCORN games.  PURPLE MUSCAT caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested GENGHIS JAHNS and was awarded 
11 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, MOLE put down 
HEAVYWEIGHT, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process.  The city 
has turned out in honor of CRAKLIN, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim 
to the highest position in the city!  Would you believe that over half of the old 
women in MALCORN seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MALCORN "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  MALCORN, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is GREENWARDENS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of SCUM & VILLAINY 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?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     The girls are as pretty in MALCORN as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
