                             Notes from the arena champ.

At least I defeated my standby this time.  It was no hardship, I've always disliked 
Sweet Anella.  Such an unmanly name, you know?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly DAL SHANG games.  LARRIS TAN caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested BERVAN THE TINKER and was 
awarded 11 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, TILES put 
down PEARL JOSEPHINA, causing her to lose 3 points of recognition in the process.  
Although CAPTIAN LENSAR made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign 
of victorious BUMBLEFINGER.  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!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In DAL SHANG "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  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!   
     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:  a fool 
flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise are angered by the same thing only 
once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes
