SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ILLIS! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team HANGOVERS was unseated
this week as ISLE OF SKYE moved up from 4th ranking to take the top spot with a 4-1-0
record for the round. There were bitter words at CHAPEL ROCK's guildhouse after a
0-3-0 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
ISLE OF SKYE went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. DEVON caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested VENAL CLERK and was awarded 20
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SNARKNADO put down
AGAIN AND AGAIN, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. Most
watched of the fights this week, the spotlight was on SUPPORT GROUP as he bore arms
against the challenge of reigning Duelmaster MOSCOW MULE. Not for nothing has MOSCOW
MULE in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his
combat skill yet again. 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 ILLIS "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! ILLIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names
of thy guilds is KIWI CONNECTION, 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 HANGOVERS last week. Busy avoiding KIWI CONNECTION? Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. SUPPORT GROUP take warning! You have more than
a few enemies in ILLIS.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ILLIS. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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 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
