                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Five. Yup; this is five, and I am running out of things to say. (But that doesn't 
mean I don't want to keep on having to have things to say. See?)
     So, the Super Bowl is coming up this next Sunday, and I will give you my 
predictions on the important things -- the commercials! Here's how I see it:

          Automobiles -- dull and staying in first gear -- (C-)
          Alcohol & Similar -- reasonably funny, maybe 5 proof -- (B)
          Food Groups -- plenty of calories (A-)
          Non-alcoholic drinks -- coming on strong with caffeine (B+)
          Other -- Not enough T & A (D+)

     So, Food wins again. As will I. So be careful and not get killed in my 
presentation, because I want number six.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ROCANIS!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  FANNON caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested GILBERT IRDAN and was awarded 16 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FANNON put down 
GILBERT IRDAN, causing him to lose 1 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has AMEX in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week 
it's proven its combat skill yet again.  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.  I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's 
challenge seeking began.  KNIGHTS OF NI 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 CREDIT last 
week.  Busy avoiding KNIGHTS OF NI?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and 
it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after GILBERT IRDAN.  Watch your 
back!   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena 
there is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     The girls are as pretty in ROCANIS 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
