SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. Former top team PHILANTHROPISTS II was
unseated this week as POWERS OF PAIN moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot
with a 3-2-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at PHILANTHROPISTS II's
guildhouse after a 1-1-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 5th. Dark
Arena anyone? I could not but notice the fine record for RAVENCLAW (5-0-0) after
their first round of combat. May the gods of war favor you in ZUKAL! PRAYING MANTIS
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested TRITAN
and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels,
DIAMOND put down CAGED FLOYD, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the
process. Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on BOMBAY FLOYD as
she bore arms against the Bloodfeud of reigning Duelmaster RAT RACE. Not for nothing
has RAT RACE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's
proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old women
in ZUKAL seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ZUKAL. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ZUKAL these
days is PET SHOP FLOYD. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding PET SHOP FLOYD. Indeed it was SPIRIT TOTEMS. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after BOMBAY FLOYD. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the
games this week, it seems that CASSOWARY posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized TRINITY. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand CASSOWARY overcame
TRINITY. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
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 ZUKAL as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! 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 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
