                             Notes from the arena champ.

     They say you're ALMOST pretty?  They're wrong.  You're beautiful.  It would be a
great pleasure for me to take you to dinner, maybe dancing afterward.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  DEAD MAN WALKING caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ROCKHOG JR and was awarded 16 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, VENOMOUS CONCUBINE 
put down BIG DISAPPOINTMENT, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the 
process.  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail LAZY LOOKOUT, 
Duelmaster of RODEKI!  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 RODEKI "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!  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?  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

Rodeki -- Reeky Sneak is only a turn or two away from becoming my first PR graduate
(and possibly my first PR retiree).  10-7-11-17-17-5-17 PR.  Despite being entirely
without bonus, he managed a 9-3 TV in the Apprentices in his youth.  It's a good time
to be a PR, I guess. -- One Armed Bandit

Big Disappointment -- Yep, you're back to disappointing us. -- Faroman

Coldfishfinger -- I hate fish.  They have scales, and they're cold, and they taste
fishy. -- Rockhog

Lazy Lookout -- Huh, I guess you saw me coming. -- Eacham

Reeky Sneak -- My sensors--the ones intended to report on the build-up of dangerous
gasses in tunnels--sounded alarms when you appeared.  I looked around for a tunnel,
and you hit me.  This is, indeed, if I correctly understand the term, sneaky. --
Stonecrusher Mark II
