                             Notes from the arena champ.

I am writing this off an old turn, as Jorja barely begins to catch up. By next time we 
should be back on track.  Can't have a standby as duelmaster, though he might have 
done it well.  But it's Against the Rules.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  FARGO BORUM caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BBQ and was awarded 20 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FARGO BORUM put down BBQ, 
causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process.  The city has turned out 
in honor of HARRISON FORD, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the 
highest position in the city!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me 
that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In DAL SHANG "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  DAL SHANG, city of gladiators!  Mighty among 
the names of thy guilds is THAT SMELL, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the 
weekly duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of CAR STARS are catching the bulk of jests 
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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
