"Not duelmaster, not top team, that means we can relax, right?" Harkranz
glanced around the room at his teammates.
"Lorinda's Popularity Leader," Fredililla said, "and I'm This Week's favorite.
Something might be expected of us on those grounds."
"Oh, please!" Lorinda groaned theatrically. "There is NO directive involving
secondary positions on the front page!"
"Even so--"
"NO!"
"What about the Blizzard Fountain?" Tarimez asked. "The Winter King?"
"NO!" Harkranz took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "How about if we
don't do anything--anything dramatic and worthy of reporting, at least--and just see
if... if there's a self-correcting factor here. Or somebody else who is prepared to
be heroic about it."
Lorinda nodded. "Works for me. I think I used up my entire life-time supply of
heroism just enlisting in the arena. Really, I much prefer a quiet life."

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. Former top team THE FUNNY FARM was
unseated this week as SERPENTS HOLD moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-1-0 record for the round. CHARLIE HORSE caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested 4 BRIDGES and was awarded 23 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CHARLIE HORSE put down 4
BRIDGES, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has HEMLOCK in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old
women in NIANIA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of ENRKO FERMI, veteran
of many duels. 14-23-2 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. Many townsmen have begin to remark over the fact that after one more
round of duels THE GOLDEN FISH's Bloodfeud against AMBEERDEXTROUS will have expired.
Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a
dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Hemlock -- Heck, I fight the duelmaster, and only learn one skill? This is annoying.
-- Harkranz
P.S. Yeah, okay, it's probably my fault, too. Still a bummer.
Ambeerdextrous -- Huh, I should've ended that fight in the fourth minute. EARLY in
the fourth minute. When I was "taking the lead." Oh, well. The skills will be
useful, at least. -- Fredililla
Immanuel Kant -- I do like a fast fight. That I win. -- Lorinda
Ghandi -- Ah! Four skills, a rating, and the win. Life is good. -- Tarimez
P.S. But if somebody in the stands turned a powerful magnet your way, you'd be
totally helpless. Might be fun to see.
Big Bird -- Someone had to lose, and I'm glad it was you. For me, this was a good
introduction to dueling. Good for you, too--it teaches humility. -- Kinthira
