                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

For too long have the fighting pits been nothing more than placs of degeneracy and 
perversion.  They have served the bloodlust of the simple masses.  That time is over; 
the Revormers have arrived.  My goal, nay my compulsion is to rain destruction so 
severe that all who see gast at my fight's barbaric brutality.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

It looks like I'm only able to lose the throne if a non-NPC character fights me.  
That's just how good I am!  Or in case you didn't recognize it, I WANT TO FIGHT AN 
ACTUAL OPPONENT!

                                          -- Gregory Goyle
                                             2-Time Duelmaster of Noblish Island
                                             Hogwart's Students

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly NOBLISH ISLAND games.  Former top team D2 NAMES TO 
KNOW was unseated this week as HOGWART'S STUDENTS moved up from 3rd ranking to take 
the top spot with a 4-1-0 record for the round.  CLOSED SPACES caught the eye of many 
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested DOC STEELE and was awarded 17 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, COLOSSO put down 
DOMINIXX, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  Not for 
nothing has GREGORY GOYLE 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! 
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city NOBLISH ISLAND.  My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in 
NOBLISH ISLAND these days is THE HAIRY BUNCH.  At least, most blades in town are 
looking to avoid them.  Apparently the stalwarts of D2 NAMES TO KNOW are catching the 
bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  
Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below.  HERMIONE GRANGER 
take warning!  You have more than a few enemies in NOBLISH ISLAND.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms.  One thing 
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     The girls are as pretty in NOBLISH ISLAND 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 
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
