SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of MORDANT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at BLACK
MONASTARY's guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
13th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week EMU'S SPAWN went 4-1-0 to move up 6 in the rankings.
Did only my eyes note the 3-0-0 record which HOT RODS managed to post this round? I
don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! TUVOK caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ASHEN REAVER and was awarded
20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, TUVOK put down
ASHEN REAVER, causing him to lose 14 points of recognition in the process. As is
fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none
other than Duelmaster FULL PROOF itself. Who here was not present for the title
fight this week as SEIUS GLABRIO boldly challenged FULL PROOF in order to strive for
the Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has FULL PROOF in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week it's proven its 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 MORDANT "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when
this week's challenge seeking began. THE BLACK EXPRESS is feared. This much I can
say. Apparently the stalwarts of EMU'S SPAWN are catching the bulk of jests down at
the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. I can not but mention
with disdain the name of PHINEAS PHREAK who this week posted a challenge to a warrior
a full 11 points below in the rankings. I thought PHINEAS PHREAK showed great skill
and promise when he was killed by HOLD-MY-BEER BEAR. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? I must report the passing of PHINEAS PHREAK, veteran of many duels.
8-8-0 final record His was not illustrious--but death plays no favorites. Dark
alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the
brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in MORDANT. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Lengthy ads this turn... I figured I would review all my fights versus real warriors.
But first.. Did you see all those kills last turn? Four NPCs, one Dark Arena kill, and
one real warrior kill. I don't think I've ever had six kills in one turn before. At
least, not here.
Hold-My-Beer Bear matched against Aemilius. Four swings later, Aemilius lay dead. I
feel Roman Empire is in a good position to bloodfeud, but, we'll see how it goes.
Boomer Bear matched against Bellicus. This one took a bit longer, five minutes, but
Boomer Bear landed enough blows for the win.
Spyware Bear used his TV challenge on Phineas Phreak, and a wise challenge it was.
Again, four swings and the fight was over. Nice learns too.
Longspear, the newest Hot Rod, matched up with Shame. While he didn't actually use a
longspear, Longspear wasted no time taking care of business, then got an endurance
bump to boot.Pinprick matched against Tuberculosis. This time it was TB doing all the
attacking for the win.
The Big Easy challenged our Duelmaster, Full Proof, for the title. After a very brief
struggle, Full Proof only needed one hit to end the fight. I guess he's on top for a
reason.
Newbie Bath Tug matched against Moonshine Tears. [Her name reminds me of a graduated
Care Less Bear, Moonshine Bear.] Bath Tug went first, and after a couple attacks,
Moonshine fell to her knees, and that was that.
Nautical Mile was challenged by Borian, and it was apparently a foolish challenge.
Borian didn't bother to try fighting back, standing his ground hoping his armor would
do the trick. It didn't.
Betty Davis Eyes made a better challenge against Highball. This was undoubtedly the
most fascinating fight of the turn. Betty got the jump, missed, and Highball
immediately took control. Unfortunately, Highball couldn't connect on his next five
attacks, FOUR of which were parried...by a 6 fight Striker! How does that happen? In
the middle of round 1, another decise struggle ensues, again won by Betty. This time
she connects to the chest of the unarmored Highball, and his sudden death becomes
inevitable. Now it's MY chance to bloodfeud. Even though one of them is dead, both
warriors ended up with the exact same record: 4-3-2.
Ashen Reaver matched against Tetanus. The style matchup definitely favored Tetanus,
but he wasn't able to take advantage of that. It was like MC Hammer said: "Can't touch
this." Reaver finished off Tetanus in minute 3.
Vanguard was sent to the Dark Arena to die, and make room for someone more useful.
But, he had other ideas when he saw High Elf across the sands (probably the easiest
Dark Arena foe to kill.) Vanguard tired him out, then slew High Elf, the time honored
way of doing so.
Slop Chef matched against Marcus Martulus. Marcus connected with his first attack, but
followed it up with a swing and miss, which was immediately riposted. One attack
later, Marcus was on the ground holding his broken ankle. Chalk up another win for
Slop Chef.
The Sentry matched up against Eustacius. In a tale of two slashers, you figure whoever
goes first is going to win. And you would not be wrong. Eustacius took charge and gave
The Sentry a quick loss.
Back at the top of the rankings, Cronus was matched against Seius Glabrio. In a tale
of two lungers, you figure this might be interesting, given the experience. But, it
wasn't. Cronus couldn't dodge anything, and was quickly put away, but got the
advantage in the skill learns.
Eros scooped The Cat Box. While The Cat Box got off a couple of attacks, Eros got off
all the rest of them. Count another win for love!
Pyornkrachzark (say THAT fast three times) matched against Pipsqueak. In a lengthy
defensive battle, there weren't many attacks that landed. But, Pipsqueak managed to
land more, and take the victory from the rockbiter.
Night Hob matched against George. (Not my Uncle George.) Night Hob managed to keep
George at bay until he tired, then Hob took him out in minute three.
Teeny Weeny matched against Bill Ponderosa (of Bonanza fame?). Bill tried to tire out
Teeny, and even managed to land a couple shots in minute two, but Bill couldn't keep
the initiative, and one final attack took out Bill's trick knee. Teeny for the win.
Cairon matched against Temperance. This fight went to form, just as you would expect
it. The Striker attacks, the Parry Riposte parries, ripostes, attacks, hits, fight
over. Cairon wins another.
Burney fought another Roman Empire warrior, Caius Occius. Caius gave it a good effort,
landing a number of blows. But, ultimately, not enough to get past Burney's armor.
Caius got tired, and Burney finished him off in minute three.
Deepfire had another cat fight, versus Freddie's Cat. Deepfire showed the courtesy of
allowing the Cat to go first, but that was his last attack, with Deepfire landing the
next two to take down the win.
Edgedancer matched against Veborg. This fight also went pretty much to form, with the
faster warrior getting the jump, and quickly beating down Edgedancer.
Sexy Cherub matched up with Stemi. This fight also went to form, with the
inexperienced AB finding victory over the stubborn TP at the end of minute two.
We will also bid Tenderfart Bear a fond farewell this turn. He's off to make his mark
on the Isle of the Eye, joining a long list of forebears. (See what I did there?) We
wish him the best of luck!
