DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Guess you were right. Although I didn't want to be sitting here as of yet. Still
have a bunch to learn before I was to depart Tricorus. But, I might as well try and
fend off the dogs while I am here. Bring the noise!

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TRICORUS games. WILLIE MCGEE caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GRANDMASTER and was awarded 22
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, ROBERT PARISH put
down GRAPE, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has FISTS OF FURY in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. 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 TRICORUS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. RONIN is feared. This much I can say. If you didn't look
down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of ALL-UGLY TEAM last week.
Busy avoiding RONIN? Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.
PIT FIGHTER take warning! You have more than a few enemies in TRICORUS.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Look no more for PIT FIGHTER in the arena or on
the streets of TRICORUS. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one
at 14-6-1. Some guilds are strict but few are as heartless as RONIN. Witness, last
turn they sent PIT FIGHTER, a 14-6-1 fighter, to the Dark Arena! 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 TRICORUS. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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
