                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Ah, the joys of fighting standbys!  But I suppose we might as well, since
they're on the payroll.  Make 'em earn it.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  SHORT ROCK caught the eye of 
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SAI-KI THE PEGLEG and was 
awarded 16 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, FOOTSTEPS 
put down DONAL PINES, causing him to lose 5 points of recognition in the process.  
This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail YERIX, Duelmaster of 
JADE MOUNTAIN!  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 JADE MOUNTAIN "art" is a word that 
has long since passed from the language!   
     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 JADE MOUNTAIN as ever I remembered them....and the 
fighters as ugly!  Don't let your reputation slip!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I 
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till 
we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no 
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Whoa!  I was just checkin' in on Jade Mountain and noticed how empty it is!  It is a
shame...I hope it doesn't get closed.  After the Halloween tourney, maybe I'll see
about starting up my team here again for a bit.  I have some guys I'd like to
graduate, and others to prepare for tourneys. -- Adie
