SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of SUNSET! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Fortune did not smile upon KENDER INVASION
this time out who this turn suffered a fall into 12th position in the wake of a 1-3-0
round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how
this week NOMADIC TRIBE went 3-2-0 to move up 7 in the rankings. My praise to BEN'S
BAZAAR for their 4-1-0 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round
deserving of notice! MEOW BUNDY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as it skillfully bested KEVIN PACEY and was awarded 21 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, PACESON BATEMAN put down
EARWIG LOCKPICKER, causing him to lose 18 points of recognition in the process. As
is fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none
other than Duelmaster DARK CURSE himself. Most watched of the fights this week, the
spotlight was on TASSLEHOFF BURRFOOT as he bore arms against the challenge of
reigning Duelmaster DARK CURSE. Although TASSLEHOFF BURRFOOT made a valiant effort,
it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious DARK CURSE. Informants "close"
to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath
his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. SUNSET, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is GRIM FANDANGO, 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 GRIM FANDANGO. Indeed it was BIG
LAKE TERROR. DARK NUPTIALS must really be harboring a grudge against the DEAD
LEGENDS guild! Merciless, 87 challenged down GOOMBA points this week to duel with
she. An upset indeed! DARK NUPTIALS found sheself outmatched as her was bested by
GOOMBA. There is no place left further down for DARK NUPTIALS but the burial mound!
A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that GENNY
GALLOWS posted a challenge against the more highly recognized HELLAHURT. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand GENNY GALLOWS defeated HELLAHURT. 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? DEVOUT DRUNK must hold silent, for this week it was humbled in the
arena by a successful Bloodfeud won by BLAK INTENT of GRIM FANDANGO. Hail BLAK
INTENT for thy victory! 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 SUNSET. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of
a far off city calling to me. I must away! 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.--
