                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Ah, the Khalhums Dwarf, so tall and manly!  Always a pleasant encounter.

                                   Silver Ghost

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MALCORN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team RAINBOW CONNECTION 
was unseated this week as SERPENTS' HOLD moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top 
spot with a 3-0-0 record for the round.  BOWEN caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested BOBCAT and was awarded 17 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SOURWOOD put down STEVE, 
causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has 
SILVER GHOST in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's 
proven hers combat skill yet again.  Informants "close" to the city champion have 
told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MALCORN "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Let all swords of the city take heed!  By law, 
EVIL EASTER BUNNY has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon STEVE for the 
slaying of JANUARY O. IRONTAIL.  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 we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms 
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, census forms will be provided for warriors by request only, effective 
immediately.  Managers may register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by 
simply writing them on a separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission.  
For any questions, please contact the Gladiatorial Commission.
