TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"It's infamous!" Ardane, spy reporter for Andorak, scowled and drew back his
arm to throw his goblet through the window at the crowd outside. Then paused to
drain the contents before resuming the about-to-throw-it position.
"Now, now, it isn't THAT bad." Desiree of Darkholm, always the voice of sweet
reason at these meetings, laid a hand on his, smiled, and guided the goblet back to
the table. "It's just a little mistake, you know."
"Ha!" Debby Tonte of Free Blades stabbed viciously into her drink with an
umbrella. "That's easy for YOU to say. The Delarquans aren't complaining."
"Of course not." Galen of Talahya looked faintly envious as she pulled a chunk
of pineapple out of her glass and began to nibble it. "That's because the Delarquans
are THE Masters of Kung-Fu."
"You think some managers are complaining," Olaf Modeen said, "you should hear
what the GLADIATORS are saying. All these rumors about the Aimed Blows having
'special enhancements'..." he shook his head. "I know it isn't true, you know it
isn't true, the top managers know it isn't true--"
"Of course it isn't true!" Ketchum, spy reporter for Crysalis, matched scowls
with Ardane and said, "If ANY one style was going to get a special enhancement, it
should be--"
"Not now, Ketch," Olaf said. "Nobody gets, nobody has gotten, nobody WILL get,
special enhancements. That's always been the rule, and we all know how the Greywand
hates changes. The real problem--"
"Try telling that to some of the managers," Debby muttered, peering into her
glass for more fruit. "They don't want to hear it. Every time I turn around, some
manager is claiming that someone got a special change and, you know, HE didn't and
it's all unfair."
"The REAL problem," Olaf said firmly, over-riding her voice, "is explaining to
all the second-rate Aimed Blows why they haven't received any of these 'special
enhancements' they keep hearing about."
"There aren't any special enhancements," Ardane growled. "None. Just managers
who noticed that the Kung-Fu Master is a lot more dangerous than anyone expected, and
have put YEARS into the study of Kung-Fu and learned how to really USE it for their
own gladiators."
"Saved a lot on weapons, too," Ketchum murmured.
"But people keep complaining," Debby Tonte said. She fished one last piece of
fruit out of her glass and stared at it dubiously.
"There WERE no special enhancements," Olaf said. "There ARE no special
enhancements. There WILL BE no special enhancements. It's all a matter of deep
study and skilled management."
"Like anyone's going to believe that!"
"They have no choice," Ketchum said. "If no 'special enhancements' were given
out, then none can be taken back. It is the way it is. What's the point in
complaining because the sun rises in the east?"
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, OSKSI? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see TIMAURN VOTH win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, CONVICTED
ASSASSIN beat SOLDIER 2 and SOLDIER 2 lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart. And
if variety is the spice of life, OSKSI may be getting bland, as SOLDIER #3 stays top
dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think
some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the OSKSI arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Grunt -- You're the most BORING person to talk to that I've ever met, and that's
going some, as you would realize if you had the wit to correctly assess my teammates.
-- Maur Tolidar
This "Embezzling Scribe" is pathetic. -- Delon Lurost
P.S. So what else is new?
To speak of the "Convicted Thief" as "frantically careless" is like speaking of rain
as being "amazingly wet." How else did he get caught and convicted if he was not
CONSTITUTIONALLY careless? -- Timaurn Voth
If this Osksi Noble is a genuine representative of the upper classes in this city-
state, I dread any crisis. How could he cope? -- Lorins Peln
P.S. Besides, he's a dwarf.
Drunk Dennis -- What is that you're drinking? Can I try it? -- Keorinso Vhu
Thief #79 -- Yah, they all say that! -- Timaurn Voth
Lorins Peln -- Foolish youth! You have been tested and found...marginal. -- Masked
Noble #009
Tinaurn Voth -- (with a shallow bow of limited respect) It is well enough, I
suppose, though I would wish that the Council of Thieves did not prescribe this duty
for the lesser members. -- Thief #73
Delon Lurost -- You're pathetic. You have no faintest concept of the intricacies and
possibilities of my art. -- Embezzler #1
Otis 3 -- Just because you won that fight doesn't mean you get a ridiculous bargain
on my products. I have to make a profit, you know! -- Wine Importer #6
Big Brother -- How about if YOU try standing guard at the Tower of Rule for a change.
-- Guard Du Jour
Freak Show -- (venomous look) You are well named. -- the Third Concubine
Soldier 2 -- I see nothing remarkable in my victory, do you? I am simply a better
fighter. No more need be said. -- Elder Ironshoe, Khalhums Dwarf
Soldier #1 -- If I hadn't been tired already, things would have been different. --
Elder Ironshoe, Khalhums Dwarf
Soldier #3 -- (sigh) Where are those "aimed blow enhancements" when a man really
needs them? -- Flying Fingers of Steel #1
