                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I'm feeling very generous today.  Definitely wontons for Adam!  And if I win
today, wontons for everyone!
     I'm fighting for immortality today.  I need the throne to achieve it.
     If I lose, rest assured that it will be business as usual:

--Wonton Not Now

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ERINIKA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Warriors--remember that glory waits 
always around the corner!  Witness how this week PALINDROMES went 1-0-0 to move up 3 
in the rankings.  WILLA VERVET caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission 
as she skillfully bested DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and was awarded 20 points in recognition. 
Not for nothing has WONTON NOT NOW in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, 
and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.  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 ERINIKA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat 
in ERINIKA these days is THE BEGINNING.  At least, most blades in town are looking to 
avoid them.  Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the 
better part of last week avoiding THE BEGINNING.  Indeed it was PALINDROMES.   
     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!   
     The girls are as pretty in ERINIKA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters 
as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  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:  a fool flies into a rage quickly and often.  The wise 
are angered by the same thing only once.  Zontani Sharp Eyes

Six fights, five standbys, and wouldn't you know, the fight with two managed
gladiators gets Yildor killed?  I grant you, he was nothing much, but still, we'll
miss him. -- Ursula Zaroff
