                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Jemar's Place, near Dal Shang arena:

     Chaego ten Selah stared into his beer and thought gloomy thoughts. 
     He didn't want the beer, but it was a reason to get out of the guildhouse.  And 
he couldn't stay there.  They'd moved him out of his room, that he'd had for, he 
couldn't remember how long, but more than a year.  A long time, anyway.  They said 
that since he wasn't active here in Dal Shang arena any longer, he had to use the 
GUEST room.  HIS room was now assigned to his replacement.  Replacement.  He couldn't 
get his mind around that.  He had been replaced.
     He remembered, sort of, when Norben had graduated and been replaced.  After he'd 
been gone two weeks, nobody mentioned him.  He might as well have died.  Where had he 
gone?  Chaego couldn't remember, if he'd ever heard.
     Well, he wasn't going to do a fade-out.  He had "Lord Protector lands" down the 
coast.  Only ten acres, probably completely worthless land, but it was right on the 
coast, with a house and a boat.  He could imagine what condition the house and boat 
were in, but fixing them up would be something to do.  When the boat was water-worthy, 
he could fish.  He'd grown up a fisher's brat.
     Then joined the arena to "make something of himself."  Make himself into 
something more than a fisherman.  And he HAD.  He was a Lord Protector.  But he didn't 
recognize Lord Protector Chaego.  Being a reasonably competent gladiator didn't seem 
to GO anywhere.  What was he going to do with the skills?  Gladiate the fish?  He 
could go to the Isle, but talk about fish!  He'd be one sardine packed into a tin. 
     Pressure-packed, by what he'd heard.  Not for him.
     He pushed the unfinished beer away.  He would go find a temple in Trade Town 
across the way and say a prayer, that was usually a good beginning.  And then he'd 
pack up what he had and go look at his "lands."

                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in DAL SHANG since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  What's with MOFFIT?  He 
actually beat KHORS GON IN 60's BERNADINE, and walked away with 15 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at SAND DANCERS while they watched MOFFIT clobber 
BERNADINE.  She lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
LENDO TEN CHARDIN was reminded on the sands why HIGH-END BUN is Duelmaster.  Advice 
to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  What do people see in HURL 
LI?  His 5-3-0?  SAND DANCERS ain't talkin', but he's got 34 points.   
     Warriors of DAL SHANG unite.  You have only your games to lose!  How long have I 
been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
