                             Notes from the arena champ.

A gallant try, Lims Krigma, but you need more than that.  I'm sure you'll come up with 
that "more" any day now.  No, wait, you're graduating.  You won't have the chance.  
Well, them's the breaks.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ROCANIS games.  Former top team CREDIT was unseated 
this week as MIDDLE WAY 20 moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 
2-3-0 record for the round.  PEACE AND caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as she skillfully bested QUICKEN and was awarded 17 points in recognition. 
In one of the week's more notable duels, PEACE AND put down QUICKEN, causing it to 
lose 14 points of recognition in the process.  Who here was not present for the title 
fight this week as AMEX boldly challenged ELIN GALLIO in order to strive for the 
Duelmasters honors?  This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail 
AMEX, Duelmaster of ROCANIS!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me 
that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ROCANIS.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ROCANIS 
these days is KNIGHTS OF NI.  At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid 
them.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any 
of CREDIT last week.  Busy avoiding KNIGHTS OF NI?  Mighty fighters cannot but expect 
competition from those below.  GILBERT IRDAN take warning!  You have more than a few 
enemies in ROCANIS.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Look no more for LOST SOULS in the arena 
or on the streets of ROCANIS.  Its fate was sealed in the Dark Arena.  Inevitable for 
one at 7-5-0.  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there 
is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise 
are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
