                             Notes from the arena champ.

That was fun. Another DM Title to add to my trophy case, alongside that beautiful TC 
medal. I like this fighting stuff. I sure hope that Corona thing doesn't get in the 
way of my fun! By now the Mailer was done. Could I have added another medal? I hope.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  KHORGA KHAN caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DON LO and was awarded 22 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KHORGA KHAN put down 
DON LO, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing 
has CANNELTON in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's 
proven its combat skill yet again.  Informants "close" to the city champion have told 
me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently 
transpired.  Indeed there is much I would report.  I saw one fighter that warriors 
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began.  POSSE is feared.  This much I can 
say.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of 
PLACES last week.  Busy avoiding POSSE?  Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears 
and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HOT GARBAGE.  Watch 
your back!   
     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?  More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a 
stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari await me!  
Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a 
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
