                             Notes from the arena champ.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Heri Za Kwanzaa!  (For those Seinfeld fans out there, 
Happy Festivus!  The airing of grievances may now commence).  And Happy New Year! to 
all! (If I missed anyone, i apologize.  I wish you well, as well).

Let me raise a toast of fine Trocarian amber ale to each of you.  We've survived 
another year!  There's no telling 2019 will hold, and I for one can hardly wait to see 
what the year brings.

To Tharg and your Grexnixes -- Welcome! I hope to see the full complement of Grexnixes 
soon.

Legion of Fate -- It seems inevitable that we will meet to contest the throne, and 
somehow that makes total sense to me.

Until the calendar flips, remember...Impin' ain't easy,

                                          -- Demon Monkey

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of TROCAR!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  ONION KNIGHT caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ASH and was awarded 10 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, ONION KNIGHT put down ASH, 
causing him to lose 6 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing has 
DEMON MONKEY 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?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  LEGIONS OF FATE is feared.  This 
much I can say.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent 
the better part of last week avoiding LEGIONS OF FATE.  Indeed it was GOT BLOOD?.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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 TROCAR.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  More than a sharp eye must I 
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari 
await me!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a 
maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
