                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I must say that Loco seems to have lived up to his name today.  How could he
lose?  Hmm, trying his new "favorites," perhaps.  That can be a mistake.  Stick with
the weapons and the strategy that got you this far is what I say.  Still, though you
were silent, you were a part of our lives for months.  We'll miss you.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly MURSKA games.  BUMP 'N' JUMP caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PADDY and was awarded 14 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, AMBITIOUS GUARD put down 
JUNGLE KING, causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process.  The city 
has turned out in honor of HUCKLE CAT, 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?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city MURSKA.   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there 
is but one reward--death.  This past week PADDY, at 11-14-0, departed MURSKA forever. 
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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
