TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Hammer stepped through the archway of the arena into the bustling streets of
Kolact. A light breeze brought fresh air in from the Trier Sea, helping to dissipate
the odor of sweat and blood that lingered on the gladiator.
"Nice cane, old man," a man in a tightly drawn cloak spoke as he gestured to the
quarter staff carried by the gladiator.
Hammer hefted the weapon to guard as he tried to focus on the man who was
flanked by two other cloaked figures. Hammer had been serving with the Kolact
Defence League for almost two decades, and he wondered if this was someone he had
arrested in the past.
"Easy there, Hammer," the man spoke and pulled back his hood.
Recognition began to dawn on Hammer's face, and a smile broke across his
impassive visage. "Defianx!" he exclaimed as he crossed the distance and clasped the
man on the back. "How long has in been?"
"Seventeen years. Seventeen years since I last stood on the sands. After we
disbanded all those years ago, Blitzkrieg, Cicern, and I took up employment as guards
for one of the shipping houses."
The other two men let their hoods fall and they all exchanged greetings.
"We've decided to follow your lead. We're not getting any younger. If death
doesn't catch on the sands, he'll catch us eventually," Defianx spoke.
"Unless we can gain the favor of Lady Greywand." Blitzkrieg spoke.
"The Isle or Ahringol!" Hammer exclaimed.
"The Isle or Ahringol!" the other three echoed.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Tough luck for The Duellist, but I've been practicing cutting a rib roast for
holiday dinner, and there he was, ribs to the fore, and... well, you see how it is.
Lia Hobern
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of KOLACT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team THE MOONDOGS was unseated
this week as ABOMINATION moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0
record for the round. My praise to ROGUES GALLERY for their 4-1-0 week this time
out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! TREMORS caught
the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CRESDENE ARCT
and was awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels,
MERCENARY put down FERRIN MONDOR, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the
process. The city has turned out in honor of HATCHET MAN, 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?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In KOLACT "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and
it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HATCHET MAN. Watch your
back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Look no more for GOLDILOCKS in the arena or on the streets of
KOLACT. Hers fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 17-7-1. Some
guilds are strict but few are as heartless as ABOMINATION. Witness, last turn they
sent GOLDILOCKS, a 17-7-1 fighter, to the Dark Arena! Fate is a fickle mistress.
She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.
Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by
the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes
