                             Notes from the arena champ.

Iaye,

It doesn't really feel like Duelmaster without taking down the title holder to get it.  
An yet here I sit, on top for the moment.

There is only one gladiator in postion to challenge, that simplifies things for me 
strategically.  I will do my utmost to guide my blade to victory.

That is all from me, Iaye.

Live well and die better!

                                          -- Duelmaster Sellsword

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of IAYE!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Did only my eyes note the 3-1-0 record 
which THE YOUNG ONES managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record 
will draw challengers!  BAZ caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as 
he skillfully bested TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and was awarded 20 points in recognition.  
The city has turned out in honor of MAX, for with his arena victory he 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?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  LENPROS is feared.  This much I 
can say.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find 
any of HARD KNOCKS last week.  Busy avoiding LENPROS?  Loose talk at the arena has 
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after NEAL.  
Watch your back!  A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems 
that ULTIMATE WARRIOR posted a challenge against the more highly recognized 
KRIEGHUND.  The results, you ask?  Well, the firebrand ULTIMATE WARRIOR bested 
KRIEGHUND.  Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  The warrior's path is harsh.  For 
mediocrity there is but one reward--death.  This past week TRUSTY RUSTY, at 3-12-0, 
departed IAYE forever.  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 IAYE.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a 
far off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
