SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of RODEKI! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team SAXON was unseated this
week as BETTER BLUES moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 4-0-0
record for the round. HELEN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as
it skillfully bested WITCHFINDER and was awarded 17 points in recognition. In one of
the week's more notable duels, HOPE MILLS put down MYRMIDUS, causing him to lose 4
points of recognition in the process. Although KHALHUMS DWARF made a valiant effort,
it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious HOMINY HOMINY. Informants
"close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on
beneath his armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In RODEKI "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! RODEKI, city of gladiators! Mighty among the
names of thy guilds is DELVERS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any
of MI CASA last week. Busy avoiding DELVERS? Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. MYRMIDUS take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in RODEKI.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune
but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes
