                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well, this was one of those turns concerning which we sometimes wonder why we
bothered to show up.  Oh, I know, there WERE other managed warriors, and I'm not--
Well, I don't really mean to be complaining.  Maybe it's the weather.  Cold.  Snow,
rain, and more snow to come.  What happened to SPRING?  We're all getting tired of
this winter, we figure we've had enough winter by now to be sure of appreciating
spring when it comes, so let it come, you know?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MORDANT games.  Former top team RUN DMC was unseated 
this week as LOW ROAD 3 moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-3-0 
record for the round.  SCHOOLBUS DRIVER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as she skillfully bested GESHI SCRIVENER and was awarded 18 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DOWNWITHTHEKING put down 
BELTRAN MOSS, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process.  As is 
fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none 
other than Duelmaster CHELSEA NOREN herself.  Who here was not present for the title 
fight this week as GRASSCUTTER boldly challenged CHELSEA NOREN in order to strive for 
the Duelmasters honors?  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All 
hail GRASSCUTTER, Duelmaster of MORDANT!  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if 
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 
7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MORDANT "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers 
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     The girls are as pretty in MORDANT 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 we meet 
again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a 
lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
