SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NIANIA games. There were bitter words at VULGAR
UNICORN's guildhouse after a 0-3-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
6th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week DEEP ELVES went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.
The city has turned out in honor of RHYR, for with his arena victory he may now lay
claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or
7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city NIANIA. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. HARLEQUINS is feared. This much I can say. If you didn't
look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of DEEP ELVES last
week. Busy avoiding HARLEQUINS? Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it
but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after NILOETH. Watch your back!
At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on GOSOSOSOS. He has got the
courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against KALISTA! In the end
GOSOSOSOS was defeated by KALISTA, a "sharp" reminder that higher recognition is an
indication of greater skill. Still, it was a worthy bout! I can not but mention
with disdain the name of JAR who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 13
points below in the rankings. I thought JAR showed great skill and promise when he
was subdued by RESTINPIECES. 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? Look no more for GOSERERER in the arena or on the streets of
NIANIA. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 6-10-2. Walk
proud, warriors of DEEP ELVES! By striking down FAKE HEALER you have avenged the
honor of your dead. Your virtue is known to all in NIANIA. 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 NIANIA as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is
mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
