                             Notes from the arena champ.

     The TOP dog!  As you can see, the bite is as bad as the bark!!!
     A large thank you to Grimm Lurcher for allowing me to showcase my skills on a
bi-weekly basis... for without you, there would be no this!!!  Unfortunately I fear
we only have two more turns of your presence in this fair arena... speaking of which,
after this next fight I will be going into Doggy hibernation until the next
tournament.  Marma Duke will be timing my exit of Kati-Tei with an immortal
appearance in the next Adepts tournament!
     That's... all folks, making this short and sweet....  Grimm Lurcher will
hopefully become my pin cushion yet again.

Until next time,
     Same doggy time,
          Same doggy place,
               Same doggy channel,

Your Duelmaster,
English Bulldog

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly KATI-TEI games.  Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 
record which THE STORM FRONT managed to post this round?  I don't doubt that such a 
record will draw challengers!  TORE NAYDO caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested SAMARA and was awarded 22 points in recognition.  
In one of the week's more notable duels, TORE NAYDO put down SAMARA, causing her to 
lose 20 points of recognition in the process.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of 
others, Duelmaster ENGLISH BULLDOG challenged GRIMM LURCHER last week in a match to 
decide the fate of the throne.  The city has turned out in honor of GRIMM LURCHER, 
for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  
Would you believe that over half of the old women in KATI-TEI seem to feel that they 
could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In KATI-TEI "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  KATI-TEI, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is THE PLAGUE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of THE STORM FRONT are catching the bulk of jests 
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Loose talk at the 
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are 
after GRIMM LURCHER.  Watch your back!  For some warriors honor is not 
important--only empty victory.  See, gladiators, how OLD YELLER of DA DOG POWNDAZ 
challenged down 17 points to WROLLING THUNDER.  The weight of the challenge fell hard 
upon WROLLING THUNDER and predictably he was overcame by OLD YELLER.  This is how to 
arouse the anger of an entire guild!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  The warrior's path is harsh.  For mediocrity there is but one 
reward--death.  This past week STELLA MARIE, at 6-7-0, departed KATI-TEI forever.  
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 KATI-TEI.  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
