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 PURE POISON was unseated
this week as TORTURED moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 3-1-0
record for the round. There were bitter words at SWEET MAGIC's guildhouse after a
1-4-1 showing this week which dropped the stable into 9th. Dark Arena anyone?
SUPERIOR DEVIL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested THING and was awarded 20 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, NIGHT CRAWLER put down COLTRANE, causing him to lose 15 points of
recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster
MARTYR challenged BLACK BOLT last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne.
Although BLACK BOLT made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious MARTYR. 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. RIZTAB, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy
guilds is PURE POISON, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.
Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part
of last week avoiding PURE POISON. Indeed it was FANTASTIC FIVE II. Loose talk at
the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after CORN SYRUP. Watch your back! For some warriors honor is not
important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how NO SLEEP of TORTURED challenged
down 16 points to MERCURY. All the city knows the duel went in favor of NO SLEEP. I
shall not fail to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory. As a
gladiator gets older, the icy grip of fear lays hold of hers heart. True, SPLIT
PERSONALITY? Who could miss your "brave" challenge of TRUTH? The weight of the
challenge fell hard upon TRUTH and predictably he was defeated by SPLIT PERSONALITY.
This is how to arouse the anger of an entire guild!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I must report the passing of LEONTION, veteran of
many duels. 8-16-2 final record Hers was not illustrious--but death plays no
favorites. 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!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? 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

PERSONAL ADS
Only five dead, and we're still perishing, but by inches and degrees below freezing.
Brrr!
One-four again, with the win being over a standby. Corn Syrup, not top drawer but
cheap and convenient, put Hezash into a sugar frenzy and hit him over the head while
he was bouncing off the walls of the arena. Ha. -- Chocoholic, brooding darkly
