                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Listen, Bowen, you were lucky to get out of that one alive.  I'm a cat, well, I
have the spirit of cat in addition to my own spirit, anyway, and I'm automatically
anti-snake.  And I figure, even if you aren't an actual serpent, you've probably got
a snake spirit along with yours.  If you have a spirit of your own at all, being a
golem.

                                      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 INK & STEEL RETRO 
was unseated this week as GREENWARDENS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-0 record for the round.  GOLDEN STAIRS caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and was awarded 14 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SOURWOOD put down 
BOWEN, causing it to lose 7 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing 
has BOBCAT in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's 
proven his 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!   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier 
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Skittles -- I hate it when that happens.  It's just another proof that the universe
is against me, and who wants to know that? -- Sourwood

Steve -- I think it's your aftershave.  Tall, dark, and reeking of... whatever it is.
Bleh. -- Honeysuckle

Shank -- Bobcat talks about his totem spirit being anti-snake.  Well, his isn't the
only one. -- Sundog
P.S.  Besides, you needed the loss for balance.

Look, I wasn't EXPECTING the Mordant Deserter, okay?  He's got... pointed ears.  I
