It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ARADI games. DEAD DOG caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested HAPPY PEASANT and was awarded 8 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, AMBITIOUS GUARD put down DAISY DAWG, causing her to lose 17 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has HOFFA 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 ARADI seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARADI "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! 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! 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.
