                             Notes from the arena champ.

      Ah, swapping it back and forth, are we?  Well, I can work with that.  Ah, by
the next time I'm here, I can.  I hadn't tried to think of anything to say, so I'm
empty at the moment.  Sorry.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  BETTER DUCK caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MERRO DOSH and was awarded 21 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, BETTER DUCK put down 
MERRO DOSH, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has JOEVINA SARIL in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this 
week she's proven hers combat skill yet again.  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if 
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 
7!   
     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!   
     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 next we meet remember - the pen is mightier 
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

you? -- Melost the Gray
