Uppity does it again! My third DM Title and a Lord Protector Designation! It pays to be me. There was no STRUGgle in Strug; I just did it to her. Easy as eating apple pie with ice cream on top. Delicious! I know you are drooling, so here is me. 12-5-8-17-17-14-11 Slasher. Read 'em and weep. -- Uppity, DMIII SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of TOBIR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. RACER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CRPL MAX KLINGER and was awarded 15 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, RACER put down CRPL MAX KLINGER, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Although LT KERRI STRUG made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious UPPITY. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? Many and various are the arts of battle. In TOBIR "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! TOBIR, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is MS01 07, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of ANYTHING GOES are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. CRPL MAX KLINGER take warning! You have more than a few enemies in TOBIR. 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! If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times already in TOBIR. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

Unfortunately we lost a blood feud in each TWO turns ago. Well that has been rectified as we disciplined Neon Necromancer's teams in both Arenas. Perhaps Neon's comments allowed us to rise to the challenge. Rishkar -- Too many times a BLOOD FEUD ends in more death. We have upheld our honor and have no desire to kill a friend's warriors. May you reach the Isle. -- CRPL MAX KLINGER, the guy who gave you the beat down Uppity -- One word: "OUCH." -- LT Kerri Strug Song of Evil -- Summer is coming. -- MJR Frank Burns PollenBright -- You know how it is when you think you found your favorite weapon. Bet next turn it's not as effective. -- Commander Powle The Iron Council has re-opened its guild doors! All prior members contact Tripwire (DM18 or DM36) if you are interested in returning. Also, if you have contacts for any of the old members, send those as well. -- Tripwire LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS QUIRION was dealt death by BLACK ORC in a 2 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
