                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well, yeah, it's me again. You've seen me up here seven times now, and you're 
thinking, "What the heck?! Why's he always Duelmaster?" Well, I can only tell you that 
you have to beat the best to be the best. So, beat me!
     I abdicated once, to allow my teammate, Yay, to get the title and graduate. I am 
about to abdicate once again to see if Jerk can win a title. Shucks, after all, they 
are teammates. Nice guys, too; despite their names.
     So there you have it. Lotsa exclamation points at work. Don't get caught in the 
shuffle.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly AMEN-TEI games.  SHHH caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested FRIENDLY CONSTABLE and was awarded 
13 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, AARGH put down MR 
RIGHT HANDED, causing him to lose 5 points of recognition in the process.  Due to its 
absence and inability to defend the throne, NOT A CHANCE has lost the title of 
Duelmaster.  The city has turned out in honor of JERK, for with his arena victory he 
may now lay claim to the highest position in the city!  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.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in AMEN-TEI these days is TAXES.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was 
that spent the better part of last week avoiding TAXES.  Indeed it was EXCLAMATION!.  
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  MR RIGHT HANDED take 
warning!  You have more than a few enemies in AMEN-TEI.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers 
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks 
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
