                             Notes from the arena champ.

I didn't want to roast the Oven Bird, but the smell of burned hair offends me.  Why do 
women grow beards, just because the Commission calls them dwarves.  No doubt that's 
circular.  At this time of year, nature defrosts everything except the very highest 
peaks.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN!  Know me for who I am, Zontani 
Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  HUNTER caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested OUT OUT and was awarded 29 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, HUNTER put down OUT 
OUT, causing him to lose 23 points of recognition in the process.  Not for nothing 
has HOUND OF THE HILLS 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! 
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In JADE MOUNTAIN "art" is a word that 
has long since passed from the language!  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.  If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard 
pressed to find any of LADY WARRIORS last week.  Busy avoiding CRITICALS?   
     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!  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
