                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Sun Tzu, Duelmaster, has asked me, his revered manager with the pretty asp, to 
pen hios DM Column for him. Therefore, I share this about Sun Tzu:
     Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer and philosopher who 
lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited 
as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has 
affected Western and East Asian philosophy and military thinking. His works focus much 
more on alternatives to battle, such as stratagem, delay, the use of spies and 
alternatives to war itself, the making and keeping of alliances, the uses of deceit 
and a willingness to submit, at least temporarily, to more powerful foes. Sun Tzu is 
revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military 
figure. His birth name was Sun Wu and he was known outside of his family by his 
courtesy name Changqing. The name Sun Tzu by which he is best known in the Western 
World is an honorific which means "Master Sun".

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  HAI CHI caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested NAPOLEON and was awarded 17 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, HAI CHI put down 
NAPOLEON, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has SUN TZU in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week 
he's proven his 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.  My inside sources tell me that the 
team to beat in JADE MOUNTAIN these days is CRITICALS.  At least, most blades in town 
are looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of JADED WARRIORS are catching 
the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in JADE MOUNTAIN.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Ahh, but I can hear the 
spires of a far off city calling to me.  I must away!  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
