                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I'm a little surprised you lost this one, Better Duck.  The weather's right up
your creek, and I don't like wading at all.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team SAND DANCERS was 
unseated this week as MIGHTY DUCKS moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 2-3-0 record for the round.  GOOPHYS caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DOOMED DUCK and was awarded 21 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, GOOPHYS put down DOOMED 
DUCK, causing him to lose 17 points of recognition in the process.  This time victory 
fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail DUCK KA-BOB, Duelmaster of DAL SHANG!  
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 DAL SHANG.   
     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 DAL SHANG.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  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
