                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well, Forbert sure did step in it!  Killed by an unarmed man.  Idiot.
Definitely not duelmaster material.  I, however, held my own against that hairy
little thug, the Khalhums Dwarf.

                                    Barton Dawes

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly JURINE games.  Former top team MIDDLE WAY 16 was 
unseated this week as SHEWISH BUFFET moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 4-1-1 record for the round.  GIRL SCOUT COOKIE caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested ARKAN BARNES and was awarded 26 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, GIRL SCOUT COOKIE 
put down ARKAN BARNES, causing him to lose 19 points of recognition in the process.  
Cold and lifeless, former Duelmaster BARTON DAWES will fight no more!  HORSE D'OEUVRE 
has slain him!  Would you believe that over half of the old women in JURINE seem to 
feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.   
     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!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in JURINE.  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  
The wise are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
