                             Notes from the arena champ.

     It was wonderful being the Duelmaster here for my final turn.
     Hopefully one of my teammates takes the throne after I leave.
     As with all my manager's graduates I shall be pitting my skills against the vile
Dark Arena monsters.

To honor and glory on the sands!!!

Wizards! (Duel master of Kolact)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly KOLACT games.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record 
which THE MOONDOGS managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a record will 
draw challengers!  FERRIN MONDOR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested TREMORS and was awarded 22 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, TERRINE ORBIN put down CENSORSHIP, causing 
her to lose 16 points of recognition in the process.  Most watched of the fights this 
week, the spotlight was on STONE GOLEM as he bore arms against the Dark Arena 
Challenge of reigning Duelmaster WIZARDS!.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as 
STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, WIZARDS!, leaving ABOMINATION in mourning.  With 
bloody hand CRESDENE ARCT has ascended to the throne of champions.  Is she that one 
which is spoken of in the ancient texts?  Would you believe that over half of the old 
women in KOLACT seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city KOLACT.  KOLACT, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is AVENGERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  If you 
didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of THE CLUB 
last week.  Busy avoiding AVENGERS?  Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition 
from those below.  HULK take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in KOLACT.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  My hearty congratulations TROG, for thy revenge upon HULK, slayer 
of thy fallen comrade.  Next time he will know better, eh?  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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in KOLACT.  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:  a fool 
flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only 
once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

Ashur -- You silly to challenge Hulk.  Har har har Hulk SMASH!! -- Hulk

Chase -- Thanks for the tidings, but I fear we're not here by choice. -- Cap.

Sorry, everyone, but Black Knight and I are headed back to Earth, at least if the
Beyonder's deal is as it was 25 years ago.  I miss Hank! -- Wasp

Ashur -- Do I really LOOK like I've much to teach!?!  Oh.  Uh, my condolences to the
other A-Bombs.  That tends to make Bruce... err... the Hulk angry.  You wouldn't like
him when he's angry. -- Wasp

Cresdene Arct -- Thanks for the throne before I go into retirement. -- Wizards!

Captain America -- I guess the Graet Axe was overkill. -- (Fat Girl) Thong...err Trog

Hulk -- What the hell, man?  I was just getting started. -- Ghost of Ashur

Avengers and Hulk -- Vengeance shall be had.  Who do you think you are?  You will
learn the price for killing my warriors.  PREPARE FOR BLOOD!!! -- Chase (mgr of
Abomination)

Wow, eight teams here, and seven of them active!  Things are looking up. -- Jorja

Wizards! -- I'd say dump it.  Spears have their uses, but they're seriously
inconvenient in social situations, whereas no one looks twice at a sword.  Until you
whack 'em, of course. -- Lia Hobern

Caprica -- It's a trick I'm working on.  Not easy, and I'm not sure I can repeat it
on demand, but I am working on it. -- Ferrin Mondor

Looking at the mini-overviews, it seems to me that all of us but Terrine should
graduate.  It must be political points that's holding us back. -- the so-popular
Cresdene and Lia, speaking for the Moondogs

Wizards! -- We congratulate you whole-heartedly. -- the Moondogs

Wizards! -- Go for it!  Better you to write the column than me. -- Cresdene Arct
P.S.  But I made you fight for it.

Flatliners -- Definitely too greasy.  I'm glad you're leaving. -- Lunelle Merrin
P.S.  When were you last in the bathtub?  Did you let the "formidable foes" keep you
away from it?

Footloose -- Loose in too many ways.  Keep your hands on your sword next time. -- Lia
Hobern

Tremors -- I find it unnerving to face someone whose hands are shaking that badly.
It makes me fear for your accuracy... and my physical integrity. -- Ferrin Mondor

Wild Things -- Being a Friend of Wildlife, I was at a handicap against you.  Not to
mention the difference in experience.  The handicapper must really be mad at me. --
Terrine Orbin
