It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ILLIS games. NIRVANA caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as it skillfully bested CAVE TROLL and was awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, AGAIN AND AGAIN put down MOSCOW MULE, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on STONE GOLEM as he bore arms against the Dark Arena Challenge of reigning Duelmaster 12 STONES. The crowds were amazed this turn, as STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, 12 STONES, leaving CHAPEL ROCK in mourning. With bloody hand PURPLE HAZE has ascended to the throne of champions. Is it that one which is spoken of in the ancient texts? Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out! But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city ILLIS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. TEABAG@CINCY 21.1 is feared. This much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of ISLE OF SKYE are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after IN SECRET. Watch your back! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PURPLE HAZE 3165 16 8 0 112 HANGOVERS (265) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SKARP-HEDIN 2159 20 25 2 110 ISLE OF SKYE (58) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME AGAIN AND AGAIN 3312 14 8 0 89 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) IT'S NOT A PROBLEM 3322 11 5 0 85 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) -DJANGO 3335 7 3 0 84 FAR TRAVELERS (337) I CAN QUIT 3269 19 17 1 83 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) SUPPORT GROUP 3255 17 22 0 77 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) MOSCOW MULE 3263 8 6 0 68 HANGOVERS (265) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IN SECRET 3324 13 1 0 62 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) BEACHCOMBER 3296 12 17 0 61 ISLANDERS (247) THORUNDR 2654 15 14 1 60 ISLE OF SKYE (58) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MY FAIR LADY 3309 3 7 0 49 HANGOVERS (265) SNARKNADO 3343 4 1 0 42 TEABAG@CINCY 21.1 (332) FALSE IDOL 3311 3 2 0 37 CHAPEL ROCK (287) EXODUS 3297 6 16 0 34 CHAPEL ROCK (287) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MURTAGH 3332 5 7 0 28 ISLE OF SKYE (58) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -TOBIUS 3342 4 4 0 23 FAR TRAVELERS (337) HERMIT 3344 5 4 1 20 ISLE OF SKYE (58) NIRVANA 3366 1 0 0 18 CHAPEL ROCK (287) CAVE TROLL 3377 1 1 0 4 ISLE OF SKYE (58) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
