That glorified pothead has NOTHING to strut about.  If he hadn't come into the arena 
already stoned, I'd've killed him.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of FRATSFA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  KENTUCKY OWL caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested XENO YOLE and was awarded 25 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KENTUCKY OWL put 
down XENO YOLE, causing him to lose 21 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has XAVIER YANG in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this 
week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  Would you believe that over half of the 
old women in FRATSFA seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In FRATSFA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  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!   
     The girls are as pretty in FRATSFA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far 
off city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is 
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Weapon Delta III -- Good skills, thanks. -- Xeno Yole

That standby only taught me ONE skill.  Of course, I won't need arena skills anyway. 
-- Tennessee Smith

That cult member picked the wrong cult.  His god or demon can't protect him, or 
doesn't care enough to do so. -- Umberto Vine

Nerus -- A minor sea god.  Well, I'm too tall to drown in a minor sea, so there! --

The incursion of chaos creatures into northern Alastari has been stopped.  However, 
the gate they came through is open, and there are people from Alastari trapped on the 
other side.  They need to be rescued, and the gate needs to be closed.  If you have a 
Lord Protector whom you would like to send on this mission, please send a message to 
the Gladiatorial Commmission (email csr@reality.com or via diplo).  We will need to 
know their physical description, personality, and method of fighting.  We will select 
no more than a dozen volunteers.  Thank you!
