                             Notes from the arena champ.

     There is a certain satisfaction in "devastating" an Arrogant Bastard.  The world
is full of them, of course, so that one devastated here is not going to make much
difference.  But I *did* enjoy it.  Next time, maybe less beer before the fight, eh?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DULLENS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  THE BEAKSTER caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GOLDENEYE and was awarded 18 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, THE BEAKSTER put 
down GOLDENEYE, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  The 
city has turned out in honor of THAT I DO SIR, for with his arena victory he may now 
lay claim to the highest position in the city!  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!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city DULLENS.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in DULLENS.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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

P.S.  And mostly you do it quite well, I wouldn't want you to think I was blind to

to wear a helmet like THAT onto the sands?  That beak is a weapon in itself. --
