SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly LYRATILAN games. Former top team NEON GRATITUDE was
unseated this week as PHOENIX GUARD moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot
with a 4-1-0 record for the round. There were bitter words at DARK FORCES'
guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 7th. Dark
Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness
how this week THE MIDDLE WAY 4 went 2-1-0 to move up 5 in the rankings. Did only my
eyes note the 4-1-0 record which PHOENIX GUARD managed to post this round? I don't
doubt that such a record will draw challengers! DORI KAAB caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested SHARULIAN and was awarded 17
points in recognition. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail
BOOMING BARITONE, Duelmaster of LYRATILAN! No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in LYRATILAN these days is LOST ALDERAAN. At least, most blades in town
are looking to avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard
pressed to find any of LIBATIONS 2 last week. Busy avoiding LOST ALDERAAN? Loose
talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many
fighters are after WASHINGTON VERN. Watch your back! I can not but mention with
disdain the name of DANKE who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 13
points below in the rankings. I thought DANKE showed great skill and promise when
she was defeated by PAUL STOCK. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries
of this world. This week arena veteran SHARULIAN was slain, despite a 7-3-0 record.
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 LYRATILAN. 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.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes
