SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RIZTAB! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team DREAMERS was unseated this
week as FAR TRAVELERS moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a 2-2-0
record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!
Witness how this week FAR TRAVELERS went 2-2-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. SWALLOW
caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested ORSON
and was awarded 22 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels,
SWALLOW put down ORSON, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process.
Although ARISTOTLE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious PONIARD. 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 RIZTAB. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in RIZTAB these
days is DREAMERS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them.
Apparently the stalwarts of FAR TRAVELERS are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! ORSON, may you forever slay thy enemies with
impunity as you did MINKAR. Are there none left in CORVUS who hold honor as a
virtue? 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 RIZTAB 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
