                             Notes from the arena champ.

I wouldn't REALLY have bitten off your hand, Shackled Priest, I don't do things like 
that.  And Jorja wanted somebody here who would "write a few words from the top."

                                          -- Vern Wulf

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly FRATSFA games.  There were bitter words at SILVER 
KNIGHTS' guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 
6th.  Dark Arena anyone?  SEARING SUNFLOWER caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested TENNESSE SMITH and was awarded 16 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, SEARING SUNFLOWER 
put down TENNESSE SMITH, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. 
Although SHACKLED PRIEST made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious VERN WULF.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top 
team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  FRATSFA, city of gladiators!  
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is IRON CATHEDRAL, a guild shunned and avoided 
by many in the weekly duels.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been 
hard pressed to find any of FLOWER GIRLS last week.  Busy avoiding IRON CATHEDRAL?  
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that 
many fighters are after TENNESSE SMITH.  Watch your back!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in FRATSFA.  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 
we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no 
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
