                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, that was embarrassing.  I sweep the front page and take the title on a loss to a 
standby.  The shame!  But I'll take it.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  CONGRESS caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested MIGHTY MITE and was awarded 22 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, DON LO put down 
TILES, causing it to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing 
has BUMBLEFINGER in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week 
he's proven his combat skill yet again.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that 
the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?  
     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?  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms.  One thing 
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in DAL SHANG as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of 
a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  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
